Nonetheless, while the evidence is suggestive, there is still no clear understanding of what is going on. In their experiment, Pons and Fleischmann immersed electrodes of palladium and platinum in a bath of heavy water -- water whose ordinary hydrogen has been replaced with an isotope called deuterium. When they passed...
The uproar transformed last week's meeting of the American Chemical Society in Dallas into the scientific equivalent of a championship basketball game. The Dallas conference packed in some 7,000 chemists hoping for what society executive director John Crum called "the experience of a lifetime." The crowd was there...
Those are big ifs, as evidenced by the preliminary results emerging from dozens of labs in the U.S. and abroad. The data provided new support for the notion that cold fusion is real, but none of the experiments were complete or totally convincing. Researchers at Texas A&M University said...
At the University of Washington, two graduate students reported finding tritium, another fusion waste product, in their version of the experiment. A scientist in Moscow asserted that he too had found evidence of cold fusion. And M.I.T. filed for patents based on a researcher's theoretical model of how fusion...
Last week's results, while they seemed promising, had a hurried, slapdash quality to them. The jury-rigged experiments were based largely on what researchers had seen in the popular press and copies of the sketchy initial paper by Pons and Fleischmann, which began circulating by fax machine almost at...
