"The whole thing is over," said prominent Yale physicist Moshe Gai, who attended the conference. "Pons and Fleischmann's experiment is clearly flawed."
Jones, who initially worked with Pons and Fleischmann but was left out when the pair made their dramatic announcement in March, said he will be collaborating with Gai this summer. He emphasized that they will study his experiment, rather than the one conducted by Pons and Fleischmann.
Brophy added that a second University of Utah team is conducting tests similar to the original Pons-Fleischmann experiment and so far has produced similar results.
The fusion confusion also continues outside of Utah. According to a Stanford University spokeperson, Stanford professor of Materials Science Robert A. Huggins insists that the heat energy released in his experiment could only be caused by fusion.
And in the past two weeks, separate teams in Sweden and Japan have announced they have reproduced the original Pons-Fleischmann experiment with the same results, leaving scientists as puzzled as they were when the controversy started.
