Baltimore and his former colleagues at M.I.T. owe O'Toole an apology, if not a job. And like other scientists currently facing critical scrutiny -- including AIDS researcher Robert Gallo and cold-fusion gurus Martin Fleischmann and B. Stanley Pons -- they owe it to themselves to take a close look at...
Before anyone jumps to conclusions, there is probably an innocent explanation for the fact that Stanley Pons has dropped out of sight, hiding his whereabouts from the press and his employers. Granted, the University of Utah chemist has been under pressure since March 1989, when he and British colleague Martin...
Pons' disappearance comes just as the state of Utah is trying to decide whether it should continue to support a cold-fusion laboratory on which the state has already spent $5 million. And it hardly helps that there are reports that Pons' phone has been disconnected and his Salt Lake...
But Pons and Fleischmann claimed that their device--in which electricity was sent through a jar of heavy water and a palladium electrode at room temperature--produced additional heat, which could only occur if the heavy hydrogen atoms in the water fused together.
An MIT research team published a report in May that thoroughly examined the Pons-Fleischmann procedure and concluded that it was carelessly performed and that its results were incorrect.
