A microscope discovery in a California lake gave birth to resonance and conflict more than a decade ago when its first revealed.
Scientists said they had discovered bacteria that used the element – as we know that set for life – to develop. If true, he has increased the possibilities where life can be available on earth or other worlds.
Many research groups have failed to copy the results, and argue that it is not possible for a living thing to use such a toxic thing to make DNA and protein. Some scientists have suggested that the results of the actual experiences cannot be detected.
Thursday, the journal ScienceWho first published the research, withdrew it, though not because of mismanagement by researchers.
“If editors determine that a paper -reported experiments do not support its key results, even if no fraud or manipulation has occurred, the client is considered appropriate,” the chief editor of the journal, Holden Thorp, announced his withdrawal.
Researchers disagree with the journal’s decision and stand with their data. Ariel Anbar, co -author of the Arizona State University study, said it is appropriate to pull paper for major mistakes or suspected mismanagement. But discussions and differences on the results are part of the scientific process.
Anbar wrote in an e -mail, “No one backs the paper because the interpretation is controversial, or even more than the interpretation.” “At least, so far it has not happened.”
In a blog post, Science Executive Editor, Thorp and Wada Vinson, wrote, in recent years, the executive editor of science, in recent years, has withdrawn more frequent papers for reasons besides fraud.
NASA helped fund the original work. Nikki Fox, chief of the Space Agency’s Science Mission, said in a statement that NASA does not support and encourage Science To consider again.
