  2. List of experimental errors and frauds in physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_experimental...

    Other research groups were not able to replicate the results and suggested that impurities in the material led to spurious effects mimicking phenomena associated with superconductivity. Copper(I) sulfide , a compound produced in the synthesis process, turned out to be a close match for the claimed properties of LK-99, and pure samples of LK-99 ...

    A Lancet review on Handling of Scientific Misconduct in Scandinavian countries gave examples of policy definitions. In Denmark, scientific misconduct is defined as "intention[al] negligence leading to fabrication of the scientific message or a false credit or emphasis given to a scientist", and in Sweden as "intention[al] distortion of the ...

  4. Chemical impurity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_impurity

    In chemistry and materials science, impurities are chemical substances inside a confined amount of liquid, gas, or solid. They differ from the chemical composition of the material or compound. [ 1 ] Firstly, a pure chemical should appear in at least one chemical phase and can also be characterized by its phase diagram .

  5. Observational error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observational_error

    If the next measurement is higher than the previous measurement as may occur if an instrument becomes warmer during the experiment then the measured quantity is variable and it is possible to detect a drift by checking the zero reading during the experiment as well as at the start of the experiment (indeed, the zero reading is a measurement of ...

  6. Vacancy defect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacancy_defect

    Vacancies occur naturally in all crystalline materials. At any given temperature, up to the melting point of the material, there is an equilibrium concentration (ratio of vacant lattice sites to those containing atoms). [2] At the melting point of some metals the ratio can be approximately 1:1000. [3] This temperature dependence can be modelled by

    Modern chemistry, specifically the discovery that combustion is the combination of various substances with oxidizers, most commonly oxygen Polywater: late 1960s: A polymerised form of water: More careful experiments with rigorously cleaned glassware showed that it was just contaminated water Ptomaines

  8. Residue (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residue_(chemistry)

    In chemistry, residue is whatever remains or acts as a contaminant after a given class of events. Residue may be the material remaining after a process of preparation, separation, or purification, such as distillation, evaporation, or filtration. It may also denote the undesired by-products of a chemical reaction.

    A statue in Hartlepool, England, commemorating the "Hartlepool monkey", a primate who was mistaken by locals to be a French soldier and killed.. Some researchers have argued that the dichotomy of human actions as "correct" or "incorrect" is a harmful oversimplification of a complex phenomenon.
