很多科学家可以通过惊人或独特的发现而赢得名誉和金钱，并且如果这一发现可以激发一项好研究的话，那将会被滥用。本文列出了十件愚弄了很多人的科学诈骗。也许这也能提醒人们该对某些科学“发现”持保留意见。

A lot of fame and money can be made by scientists who make amazing or unique discoveries, and while this generally provides a motivation for good research, it is occasionally abused. This is a list of 10 cases of scientific fraud that fooled many people. Perhaps this can serve as a reminder that some scientific “discoveries” need be taken with a grain of globally warmed salt.

J.H.舍恩 (Jan Henrik Schön)

舍恩（图左）是新泽西州贝尔实验室的一位研究员。1998年到2001年间，他曾在《自然》上刊登过五篇论文，在《科学》期刊上刊登过七篇文章，都是有关于电子学的高级领域。他的发现很深奥，但还是被同仁们视为正在升起的新星。

2002年，委员会发现他的结果是从16个偶然里得出的，这使得他的同事、老板、以及承认他结果的两本期刊编辑人员都遭受了公众尴尬。

当时仅32岁的舍恩说：“我承认我在科学工作中犯了很多错误，并且对此感到非常的后悔。”《自然》杂志也补充说明道：“我真的相信所报道的科学结果是真实、刺激并值得为之奋斗的。”他不会再说什么了。

Jan Henrik Schön (pictured on the left), a researcher at Bell Laboratories in New Jersey, had five papers published in Nature and seven in the journal Science between 1998 and 2001, dealing with advanced aspects of electronics. The discoveries were abstruse, but he was seen by many of his peers as a rising star.

In 2002, a committee found that he had made up his results on at least 16 occasions, resulting in the public embarrassment of his colleagues, his employer, and the editorial staffs of both the journals that accepted his results.

Schön, who by then was still only 32, said: “I have to admit that I made various mistakes in my scientific work, which I deeply regret.” Nature also reported him as adding in a statement, “I truly believe that the reported scientific effects are real, exciting and worth working for.” He would say no more.
