[Newspoetry] Scientist Faked "Discoveries"

A series of extraordinary advances in physics claimed by scientists 
at Bell Labs relied on fraudulent data, a committee investigating the 
matter reported yesterday.

The findings, in effect, dismiss as fiction results from 17 papers 
that had been promoted as major breakthroughs in physics, including 
claims last fall that Bell Labs had created molecular-scale 
transistors.

The Isaac Newton Scientific Index fell nearly five percent in heavy trading.
