| First academics academies, lookup on the subject :)
Second, this has all to do with academics actually, as this very practice of of signing papers/studies one had little or no involvement in is commonplace.
Sometimes money is involved, other times it's just about "fame", but then "fame" is all about maintaining relevance so as to get paid on cosigning of private studies.
What Merck is doing there is just academics business as usual. If that surprises you, prepare to be shocked even more: if they did not do that, they wouldn't be getting no-one notable enough to sign their studies, regardless of the studies merits or who made them: academics will only cosign work that their peers can cosign, or they risk being labeled as private firms' pets.

| Indeed, and the newsbit is a bit misleading, the demonstration was done with a 3bit memory (yeah, that's small), and access speeds are currently 1000 times slower thant what they need to be competitive with flash/HDD.
The 16bit snippet is actually what they anticipate to achieve, but even in the lab they're still not there, the kilobytes and megabytes are a long way off...
Interesting nonetheless :) Flag this | Edit this post |
