Scientists confirm one-dimensional electron behavior in phosphorus chains
For the first time, researchers have shown that self-assembled phosphorus chains can host genuinely one-dimensional electron behavior. Using advanced imaging and spectroscopy techniques, they separated the signals from chains aligned in different directions to reveal their true nature. The findings suggest that squeezing the chains closer together could trigger a dramatic shift from semiconductor to […]
A tiny light trap could unlock million qubit quantum computers
A new light-based breakthrough could help quantum computers finally scale up. Stanford researchers created miniature optical cavities that efficiently collect light from individual atoms, allowing many qubits to be read at once. The team has already demonstrated working arrays with dozens and even hundreds of cavities. The approach could eventually support massive quantum networks with […]
A strange in-between state of matter is finally observed
When materials become just one atom thick, melting no longer follows the familiar rules. Instead of jumping straight from solid to liquid, an unusual in-between state emerges, where atomic positions loosen like a liquid but still keep some solid-like order. Scientists at the University of Vienna have now captured this elusive “hexatic” phase in real […]
New catalyst makes plastic upcycling 10x more efficient than platinum
Scientists are finding new ways to replace expensive, scarce platinum catalysts with something far more abundant: tungsten carbide. By carefully controlling how tungsten carbide’s atoms are arranged at extremely high temperatures, researchers discovered a specific form that can rival platinum in key chemical reactions, including turning carbon dioxide into useful fuels and chemicals. Even more […]
Engineers just created a “phonon laser” that could shrink your next smartphone
Engineers have created a device that generates incredibly tiny, earthquake-like vibrations on a microchip—and it could transform future electronics. Using a new kind of “phonon laser,” the team can produce ultra-fast surface waves that already play a hidden role in smartphones, GPS systems, and wireless tech. Unlike today’s bulky setups, this single-chip device could deliver […]
An old jeweler’s trick could change nuclear timekeeping
A team of physicists has discovered a surprisingly simple way to build nuclear clocks using tiny amounts of rare thorium. By electroplating thorium onto steel, they achieved the same results as years of work with delicate crystals — but far more efficiently. These clocks could be vastly more precise than current atomic clocks and work […]

Consequences of plagiarism

651 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.
