Well, maybe this is the beginning of another cold fusion story.
Despite failures to reproduce the Pons/Fleischmann results, it spawned a whole new field: LENR which has very interesting yearly conferences.
- kergonath 3y agoNot exactly. Cold fusion was contradicted by our knowledge of Physics at the time. Room-temperature superconductors are a field of active study, because even though we don’t know one, we think they might exist and the industrial applications could be world-changing. The response was not “room-temperature superconductors cannot exist”, as with cold fusion, but more “this sounds implausible and your preprint is dodgy; nevertheless we’ll try to replicate it”.
