Crystal-Clear Research
Exciting new findings about crystals – on subjects as diverse as diamonds, peptide nanofibers and colloids – could prove useful in science and industry, perhaps leading to new nanoscale constructs and better electronics. Diamond in extremis Diamond has long been used to put the squeeze on other materials. Now researchers have used lasers to return the favor, finding that a girl’s best friend can support almost a million atmospheres. These results might lead to better...

The struggle to keep research real
Beneath a scientist’s lab coat beats a human heart. So it should be no surprise that researchers sometimes fudge – or outright fake – their data. Often, this manipulation takes the form of a doctored image. Michael Kalichman, director of the...
