...Utah fusion experiment, researchers B. Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann ran a current through a palladium electrode immersed in heavy water. They announced on March 23 that the deuterium nuclei in the water fused together into helium, releasing energy...
Petrasso said a graph Pons and Fleischmann published to describe the energy released in their experiment was erroneous, and he said that gamma rays, a by-product of fusion reactions, were not emitted in the experiment...
...Fusion, the nuclear reaction that powers the sun, occurs when the nuclei of two small atoms join together to form a larger atom, releasing energy and neutrons. Scientists had believed fusion possible only under great temperatures and pressures until the Utah researchers announced they had produced it at room temperature...
...Harvard research teams conducting cold fusion experiments said yesterday that their tests will proceed as planned, but noted that the MIT research increases their skepticism of the cold fusion process...
Since the MIT researchers did not disprove completely the fusion process, Silvera said that he will proceed with his experiment, but remains skeptical...
