    I have the original paper that was peer reviewed. I've shown it to my research advisor and several other faculty. Most think it was a thought that was formulated in a bar and someone took it seriously.

    Now I may have a bias as I do try to follow the research being done but when a compound that the person who finally makes it says:

    And the world doesn't bat an eye, something is wrong...

    This is a more technical link but here is palau'amine

    My reaction is: I want to get drunk knowing that one of the biggest jokes I've now seen in the chemistry field is what gets press

    All you need is the right marketing!

    Heh, I don't care, it looks fucking stupid and has no application as it requires a gold surface to work on. Maybe a step towards nano machines but even then I don't like that idea to begin with.
