But test tube experiments failed to show the antibiotic properties he expected.
This is partly because other experiments failed to show the effect; however, their conditions were not strictly comparable, since few, if any, were conducted on mountaintops.
The third concerned the "luminiferous ether" that was supposed to fill all of space and serve as the medium through which light waves moved, the way sound waves move through air, or ocean waves through water: why had experiments failed to detect the earth's motion through this ether?
However, even Darwin did not reject the idea that Lamarckian inheritance had some part to play, and it did not disappear as a serious idea until 20th-century genetic experiments failed to find evidence for it.The wiggle room for the re-admission of Lamarck's ideas comes from the discovery that small RNAs are active in cells' nuclei as well as in their outer reaches.
Results from both experiments failed to replicate those from the original study.
These experiments failed to identify altered expression in wounded limbs compared with controls.
Such controlled experiments failed to represent variable field conditions, and rarely included crop growth feedback.
Since all five experiments failed to produce B type homokaryon, one more experiment was carried out to generate a total of 80 SPRs.
After high-altitude balloon experiments failed to detect any evidence of such atoms in cosmic rays, Ting proposed putting in space a large magnet with sensitive detectors.
Astrobiologist John Baross of the University of Washington in Seattle agrees that it is certainly conceivable that the Viking experiments failed to detect alien micro-organisms.
After data from earlier particle-physics experiments failed to show the θ+ or related exotica (Science, 19 November 2004, p. 1281, physicists awaited the results from several JLab experiments tailor-made to find the pentaquark.
