Room-temperature quantum breakthrough freezes motion without cooling
ETH Zurich scientists have levitated a tower of three nano glass spheres using optical tweezers, suppressing almost all classical motion to observe quantum zero-point fluctuations with unprecedented precision. Achieving 92% quantum purity at room temperature, a feat usually requiring near absolute zero, they have opened the door to advanced quantum sensors without costly cooling.
Tiny gold “super atoms” could spark a quantum revolution
Scientists have found that microscopic gold clusters can act like the world’s most accurate quantum systems, while being far easier to scale up. With tunable spin properties and mass production potential, they could transform quantum computing and sensing.
Scientists unveil bioplastic that degrades at room temperature, and outperforms petroplastics
Plastic pollution is a mounting global issue, but scientists at Washington University in St. Louis have taken a bold step forward by creating a new bioplastic inspired by the structure of leaves. Their innovation, LEAFF, enhances strength, functionality, and biodegradability by utilizing cellulose nanofibers, outperforming even traditional plastics. It degrades at room temperature, can be […]
Building electronics that don’t die: Columbia's breakthrough at CERN
Deep beneath the Swiss-French border, the Large Hadron Collider unleashes staggering amounts of energy and radiation—enough to fry most electronics. Enter a team of Columbia engineers, who built ultra-rugged, radiation-resistant chips that now play a pivotal role in capturing data from subatomic particle collisions. These custom-designed ADCs not only survive the hostile environment inside CERN […]
Digital twins are reinventing clean energy — but there’s a catch
Researchers are exploring AI-powered digital twins as a game-changing tool to accelerate the clean energy transition. These digital models simulate and optimize real-world energy systems like wind, solar, geothermal, hydro, and biomass. But while they hold immense promise for improving efficiency and sustainability, the technology is still riddled with challenges—from environmental variability and degraded equipment […]
Quantum tunneling mystery solved after 100 years—and it involves a surprise collision
For the first time ever, scientists have watched electrons perform a bizarre quantum feat: tunneling through atomic barriers by not just slipping through, but doubling back and slamming into the nucleus mid-tunnel. This surprising finding, led by POSTECH and Max Planck physicists, redefines our understanding of quantum tunneling—a process that powers everything from the sun […]

Consequences of plagiarism

166 1 min 0

The consequences for committing plagiarism can be severe, including penalties such as receiving a failing grade or even expulsion from the university. Universities educate students on how to avoid plagiarism and the potential consequences of committing it. On my article on the different types of plagiarism, I ordered them in severity. Take a look there to see what is the most severe type of plagiarism.

1. Investigation & What happens afterwards?

Upon discovery of plagiarism, the incident will be reported to the dean for review. Typically, a meeting between the course supervisor, dean, and student will be held to determine the appropriate action. Minor incidents may be handled directly, while major incidents are typically overseen by a university committee. The student may also be required to seek external counseling. Each university has its own academic integrity committee, so the specific penalties may vary. Regardless, plagiarism should not be taken lightly as the consequences can be severe.
