investigate the allegations and explained that the research had nothing to do with the companys current products ("Lucent-Research Review," 2005). Rather, questionable issues surrounded the areas of "superconductivity, molecular
crystals and molecular electronics" ("Lucent-Research Review," 2005). Still, as far as the general public was concerned, Lucent was in hot water once again. The company had some problems since its
inception. With this new incident, Lucent would have to deal with a great deal of bad publicity. Lucent did conclude its investigation in 2002 and in a press release, made

This scientists employment with Lucent Technologies has been terminated. The committee cleared all the other researchers who had contributed to the experiments, and who were co-authors on several published papers,
