A research team from South Korea recently published a paper stating that room temperature superconductivity has been achieved. After the paper attracted international attention, Lee Seok-bae, a member of the research team, recently said in an interview with Yonhap News Agency that the research team was not ready to publish the paper, but one member of the team published the paper without the consent of the other authors. The team has now requested that the paper be removed from the shelves. Lee Seok-bae also said that this study actually complements the superconductor paper published in a Korean journal in April this year, and that it has already been reviewed by an international journal.
