Struggles to correct published errors

Article Abstract:

Efforts to correct errors in a published scientific article were met with defensive evasion on the part of editors and constituted a failure of the peer-review system. Senior editor Allen J. Bard and associate editor Richard L. Schowen of the Journal of the American Chemical Society dismissed efforts to point out egregious errors in a pair of articles co-authored by Ronald Breslow. The interests of science and of the public which funds it require that editors permit rebuttals by those who have the time and interest to read an article carefully.

A broadband superconducting detector suitable for use in large arrays

Article Abstract:

Cryogenic detectors are extremely sensitive and have a wide variety of applications but are difficult to integrate into large arrays like a modern CCD camera. The demonstration of a superconducting detector that is easily fabricated and can readily be incorporated into an array is presented.
