Recent observations of superconducting like transition at 286 K in Ag and Ag nanostructures by Thapa et al. (arxiv: 1807.08572) have rekindled the hope for room temperature superconductivity under ambient conditions. We also investigated the electrical properties of Ag-Au nanostructure in the form of thin film grown on SiO2/Si substrate by DC sputtering and observed signature of zero resistance in the temperatures range of 243 K to 275 K. While the observed electrical resistance of samples shows intriguing and perplexing behavior under temperature cycling and external magnetic field; the large spatial inhomogeneity present in thin film hampers the reproducibility indicating the stability issues associated with superconducting like phase.
