Pubpeer is an incredible project [0], and unless I am mistaken, you could say that this finding may not have occurred without it. For those that do not know, it is a website (with browser extension) which allows a comment section for academic publication, with anonymous comment, for posting critique and questions about papers. I suggest all of my peers to install the extension, as a pre-warning system for poor quality papers. This paper in question can be found here [1], and it is a good example of what simple image processing techniques can be used to verify, or question claims. It is unfortunate that while things like NMR, XRD, SEM/TEM images, and Western blots are commonly faked, and found out- not all science is based off of verifiable data at the reader's end.
