Editing Albert Ghiorso (section)

===Later life===
In his later years, Ghiorso continued research toward finding superheavy elements, fusion energy, and innovative electron beam sources. He was a non-participating co-author of the experiments in 1999 that gave evidence of elements 116 and 118, which later turned out to be a case of scientific fraud perpetrated by the first author, [[Victor Ninov]]. He also had brief research interests in the free quark experiment of William Fairbank of Stanford, in the discovery of [[technetium|element 43]], and in the electron disk accelerator, among others.
