(Phys.org)—Moses Chan, co-author of a paper published in 2004 describing work that resulted in claims of the discovery of supersolid helium, has now co-authored another paper, published in Physical Review Letters, describing flaws in his original research. He and new colleague Duk Kim redesigned the original experiment: this time, they found no evidence of a supersolid.
