Italian Scientists Claim (Dubious) Cold Fusion Breakthrough
- Retric 16y agoDon't change the title: "Italian Scientists Claim (Dubious) Cold Fusion Breakthrough"

Briefly, the claimed reaction isn't one predicted by current theoretical work, and the apparatus isn't described specifically enough for anyone to replicate it. They say it's been "running a factory" for two years, but don't elaborate on where it is, or what it's been doing.
