Cold fusion turned out to be true, from wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_fusion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_fusion "By 1991, 92 groups of researchers from 10 different countries had reported excess heat, tritium, helium4, neutrons or other nuclear effects.[36] Over 3,000 cold fusion papers have been published including about 1,000 in peer-reviewed journals." "In February 2002, a laboratory within the United States Navy released a report[42][43] that came to the conclusion that the cold fusion phenomenon was in fact real and deserved an official funding source for research.[44] Navy researchers have now published more than 40 papers on cold fusion.[45]" It is also interesting that there was an effort at suppressing positive results and generation of fraudulent data to discredit the initial findings. "The late Nobel Laureate Julian Schwinger (1918 - 1994) also stated in 1991 that he had experienced "the pressure for conformity in editor's rejection of submitted papers, based on venomous criticism of anonymous reviewers," "In 1991, Dr. Eugene Mallove stated that the negative report issued by the MIT Plasma Fusion Center in 1989, which was highly influential in the controversy, was fraudulent because data was shifted without explanation, obscuring a possible positive excess heat result at MIT." People often use Cold Fusion as an example of pseudoscience when it is actually an example of suppression of a new idea. The accusations of fraud were widely publicized and remembered but vindication of initial claims is hardly known.
