Students caught up in legal impasse at Mexican institute

摘要

As graduate students from the nanoscience and nanotechnology group of the Institute for Scientific and Technological Research of San Luis Potosi (IPICYT), we wish to update you on events affecting us since the departure of Humberto and Mauricio Terrones (Nature 464,148-149;2010).rnWe have no wish to discredit the authorities of our institute,rnbut we are concerned about the way in which they are handling our situation. It is evident that political and legal problems are interrupting our academic development.
