  1. ​ @finwefingolfin7113 ​ ​Buddy, that's not how scientific research works Scientist don't just work on one single paper in a project at a time. At the time of Schon publication, Bao, Kloc and evnen Battlog were doing their own things, they have their jobs and their own projects, it's just that among their projects, there's the collaboration with Schon. That's why Schon is the main author of the paper. Kloc and Bao provided samples, not samples grown because of the project that requires tremendous work, they provide samples that Schon ask them to provide accordingly. Battlog is a supervising to an entire division with multiple scientists, not just Schon. When you have an actual scientific job, you'll start realizing how you don't have enough time to pay great attention to every single project, because it's impossible, both time wise and expertise wise. And it's not breakthrough science, that's a meaningless term, what Schon did was claiming breakthrough discovery, meaning discovering and seeing stuff that is already there but was never observed before due to lack of research. That doesn't require much funding, the crystals are grown by Kloc or Bao, what Schon did was doing the measurements.
