...Silvera leads a team in the Lyman Labs that is using a high-pressure diamond anvil to crush together a palladium and deuterium cell. Silvera says their first test, which failed to release heat or emit subatomic particles that are expected by-products of fusion, could have failed because of accidental leaking by the liquid deuterium...
...this point I am a little bit pessimistic," Silvera says. "If we perform the experiment the way we want and we don't get results, then we're not going to pursue...
...Unfortunately there has been a polarization between the chemistry and physics community," Silvera says. "I don't think science needs that kind of confrontation...
...Silvera put it, "I don't think the story's over...
