Other Chinese scientists have also been involved in research theft.
Chemistry World April 8, 2013 Charlie Quigg	Biomimetic bricks inspired by mother of pearl Chinese chemists have developed a new nacre-like material which is stronger than natural nacre and most other composites.
Chemistry World April 8, 2013 Philip Robinson	The truth about snake oil? US scientists have carried out the first analyses of old 'patent medicines' - medicinal preparations from the turn of the last century - to identify the chemical constituents of the medications and perhaps determine if there was any truth in the wild health claims they made.
