...lifetime." The crowd was there to hear chemistry's new superstar, B. Stanley Pons, describe and defend the experiment that had catapulted him and British colleague Martin Fleischmann to instant fame only a few weeks earlier. Pons and Fleischmann claim to have produced controlled nuclear fusion in a jar at room temperature. If Pons, a professor at the University of Utah, and Fleischmann, of the University of Southampton in England, are correct, and if the process can be harnessed economically on a large scale, the world's energy problems are over...
...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 in a jar might work...
Ever since Stanley Pons of the University of Utah and Martin Fleischman of the University of Southhampton announced last month that they had sparked nuclear fusion in a jar at room temperature, some pundits have speculated that the use of the cheap, virtually endless supply of energy would change the world's political order...
...doughnuts have been eaten. Umbrellas now drip in the classroom's corner as the vigil continues. A jar of instant Maxwell House coffee and a plastic teapot sit untouched on the floor...
...informal process known as "publication by fax," copies of a paper Pons and Fleischmann had prepared began to circulate from lab to lab. Next, one of the best-known figures in the field, physicist Steven Jones of Brigham Young University, announced that he too had achieved fusion in a jar, although, significantly, with far lower energy output. Even a pair of Hungarian scientists claimed to have carried out room-temperature fusion...
