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 […]
Critical minerals are hiding in plain sight in U.S. Mines
Researchers found that U.S. metal mines already contain large amounts of critical minerals that are mostly going unused. Recovering even a small fraction of these byproducts could sharply reduce dependence on imports for materials essential to clean energy and advanced technology. In many cases, the value of these recovered minerals could exceed the value of […]
New state of quantum matter could power future space tech
A UC Irvine team uncovered a never-before-seen quantum phase formed when electrons and holes pair up and spin in unison, creating a glowing, liquid-like state of matter. By blasting a custom-made material with enormous magnetic fields, the researchers triggered this exotic transformation—one that could enable radiation-proof, self-charging computers ideal for deep-space travel.
Miracle material’s hidden quantum power could transform future electronics
Researchers have directly observed Floquet effects in graphene for the first time, settling a long-running scientific debate. Their ultrafast light-based technique demonstrates that graphene’s electronic properties can be tuned almost instantaneously. This paves the way for custom-engineered quantum materials and new approaches in electronics and sensing.
Century-old catalysis puzzle cracked by measuring a fraction of an electron
Scientists have directly measured the minuscule electron sharing that makes precious-metal catalysts so effective. Their new technique, IET, reveals how molecules bind and react on metal surfaces with unprecedented clarity. The insights promise faster discovery of advanced catalysts for energy, chemicals, and manufacturing.
Stanford discovers an extraordinary crystal that could transform quantum tech
Stanford scientists found that strontium titanate improves its performance when frozen to near absolute zero, showing extraordinary optical and mechanical behavior. Its nonlinear and piezoelectric properties make it ideal for cryogenic quantum technologies. Once overlooked, this cheap, accessible material now promises to advance lasers, computing, and space exploration alike.

Consequences of plagiarism

591 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.
