- jessriedel 14y agoThis same group research group, including the same first author, published in Nature last year. http://arxiv.org/abs/1205.2024 http://arxiv.org/abs/1205.2024 Since it's common practice to first post to the ArXiv before submitting to a journal (note, for instance, that the first version of their Nature paper was posted to the ArXiv 4 month before being published), I'm confident this paper is or soon will be submitted for peer review. It's always possible they made a mistake or are overstating their findings, but I don't think these guys are a bunch of hacks.
