Pons, Fleischman and the university blew it, on both the science (didn't measure neutrons, which are the signature of fusion) and the press (pumped the hype without the science). Jones was much more reserved, and discussed with the press only as a result of the media attention https://www.deseretnews.com/article/40134/FUSION---BYU-PHYSICS-RESEARCHER-BREAKS-SILENCE-ON-A-SIMILAR-NUCLEAR-BREAKTHROUGH.html https://www.deseretnews.com/article/40134/FUSION---BYU-PHYSI... """ But Jones downplays any comparison to his work with such historical breakthroughs as the invention of the light bulb or the hydrogen bomb. "We have a lot more work ahead of us," he said. "We need to have some patience and do the scientific groundwork before we jump to too many conclusions." """
