"Essentially Arata, together with his co-researcher Yue-Chang Zhang, uses pressure to force deuterium (D) gas into an evacuated cell containing a sample of palladium dispersed in zirconium oxide (ZrO2–Pd). He claims the deuterium is absorbed by the sample in large amounts — producing what he calls dense or "pynco" deuterium — so that the deuterium nuclei become close enough together to fuse."
However, there is some skepticism. this is an email from someone attending the conference.
"His lecture was very difficult to follow, even for native speakers, so I may have overlooked something,"
This story is hot off the press so details are still a little fuzzy, will be updating as needed.

It sounds interesting, but what will determine this to be true or false is whether or not the results can be duplicated successfully.

That's what happened the last time, they did it once but then couldn't repeat it.
Let's hope they have better luck this time.

Does this mean We can have more Pie??????

Argon: the article says that the demonstration was "highly reproducible". so it looks pretty groundbreaking.
-
From the picture, it's evident that the scientists have induced cold fusion in a phase reaction by creating a milkshake.

this is BIG... if it's for real... there's a certain skepticism to cold fusion that I've never understood... I'm hoping this has some merit... the world needs cold fusion!!!
-
I think the skepticism comes from repeated announcements like this which have all ended up being debunked eventually. That said, I am cautiously optimistic! ;)
-
Amazing!
-
Hogwash.
-
Though I'm all for harnessing cold fusion, I'll hold my exclamation until this is proven to be more than bad science or another hoax.
-
I'm willing to believe this. So much that was considered a futurists dream, or science fiction has become reality in recent years. Exosuits, coil guns, solar sails, cloned meat, memory resistors, vulcan lasers, nonlethal directed energy weapons actualy in use in Iraq, carbon nanogel medical sealents, bionic limbs with real sensory input, just to name a few.

Let's hope it works..... I need Cold Fusion for some of my doomsday dices to take over the world

So there trying to find another alternative fuel to launch rocket's and stuff,and if cold fusion work's then the probabilty of sending people into space is more economical and affordable for all human race to see what our world is like...We got a melting pot of View's and disbelief and belief what will come of this... hhmmmmm.
-
I have to agree with earlier posts, cold fusion is pretty much a myth.
I'll wait until it actually works before I believe it.
-
Yea, I just read this story on gizmodo.
-
The article mentions "pathological science"...bad science continuing in its falseness. But it really would be great if a marriage of milkshake technology and invention resulted in a new energy source!
-
I... fuse... your... atoms! [slurp] I fuse them up!
