Bell Labs fires Hendrik Schon for Data Falsification

Posted by chrisd on from the 1-down-118-to-go dept.

Raiford writes "Bell Labs has fired physicist Hendrik Schon for falsifying scientific data. Schon was thought to be a likely candidate for the Nobel prize based on the promise his reported research findings had for the advancement of molecular scale computing. In a Reuters report the dismissal was described as the only conclusive case of scientific misconduct ever identified in the history of the prestigious laboratory."

    Falsifying data? So what else is new. It happens in high places. The guy who narrowly (but definitely) lost the last Presidential election in the U.S. claimed that he actually created the Internet.
