| Look at note 212.102 for more on cold fusion.

| *Any* additional information on this would be more than welcome - if you
have any, please post it here (if appropriate) or send it to me directly.
There isn't a general science or physics conference in DEC, so there's not
too many places to talk or learn about this -- and the media doesn't seem
to care all that much.
[I suppose I should just wait until the May issue of Nature is published...]

| Re: -.1
Anyone interested in starting a conference on COLD_FUSION?
For documentation: So far, I found that the WALL STREET JOURNAL has had a
few front-page articles and other articles under the TECHNOLOGY section.
Check Last Friday (3/24) Monday and Wednesday for some good info. If it
made it into the WSJ, there are a lot of people taking it seriously. There
was also a late-breaking short article in the back of the EE-TIMES. No,
I'm not going to type them in, but I wish that the USENET was working! ;-)
On the NBC News last night (3/30/89), they said that someone REPLICATED the
experiment at Columbia University and was going to do a talk on it today
(3/31). If you want information, I would recommend watching any science
news program on cable this weekend/next week and pick up any weekly
periodical that has good science coverage for the next two weeks. It still
takes a week or so for science coverage to be adequate.
This breakthrough is only one week old! Think about where superconductors
where after a week, we're moving on this a lot faster. I only hope that
tomorrow the scientists DON'T have a news conference and say "April Fools."
In going back and reading this reply, I thought that even talking like this
would be more appropiate to the SF notes file just two or three years ago!
Here's to change,
Dave

There is a conference on physics at DECWET::PHYSICS. (Press KP7 to add
it to your notebook)

| I read on a french magazine "SCIENCE & VIE" May 89 that Ping and Pong
I mean Fleischman and Pons gave a detailed account of their experiments
in the "Journal of Electoanalycal Chemistry"
If anybody has read this journal please tell us about it. In the French
magazine it says that they tried their experiment with different size
cathodes and with the bigest ( a cube of 1 cm sides) the cathode melted
and that Fleischman was afraid that the thing might ignite in a fusion
run away reaction (in another words blow up, take this with a grain of
salt after all this is only a popular science magazine).

| I can't resist...
Maybe their funding was frozen?
I apologize. I won't do it again.

| 520.11 | Or Maybe... | VOSTOK::LEPAGE | Truth travels slowly | Thu Aug 31 1989 14:00 | 8 |
| I can't resist either...
I think they were reFUSED funding.
(I have no need to apologize, but I probably won't do it again either)

| Last I heard, most labs were unable to duplicate the process and
gave up on it. A few other labs reported partial success but could
come up with conclusive results.

| My last understanding is that it had become apparent that Ponns and
Flieschman had withheld some necessary instructions from their press
releases, this apparently to give themselves more time to patent the
process and do further development work. There have been a number of sites
which have substanciated the process BUT you have to be very careful how
you design components and run the experiments if you want to see results.
All of the info I've seen I picked up from the physics notes file.
