(Phys.org)—The journal Science has published an "editorial expression of concern" by its editor-in-chief,Marcia McNutt, regarding a research paper the journal published back in 2004. The paper tilted "RNA-Mediated Metal-Metal Bond Formation in the Synthesis of Hexagonal Palladium Nanoparticles" by Bruce Eaton and Daniel Feldheim, or chemists at North Carolina State University and grad student Lina Gugliotti was partially discredited after a colleague at the same university,Stefan Franzen, filed a complaint with the school challenging the work done by the research trio.
