Ewww - the whole point of peer review is to catch this shit. If peer review isn't working, we should be going back to monographs :)

You're conflating peer review and studies that verify results. The problem is that verifying someone else's results isn't sexy, doesn't get you grant money, and doesn't further your career. Redoing the work and verifying the results of other "pioneers" is important, but thankless work. Until we insensitivise doing the boring science by funding all fundamental science research more, this kind of problem will only get worse.

I look forward to 6 hours of BobbyBroccoli videos about this.

Everyone laughing about troll physics, this guy did troll chemistry. Nobody's laughing now.

Did he work with copper nanotubes, perhaps?

I'm getting the impression he worked with brass balls
