"We found out that when comet-like streamers of bubbles formed the reactions would stop. Their irregular shape diminishes the bubbles' ability to compress the enclosed gas and subsequently prevents fusion reactions from occurring."

I hate it when that happens!

Ho-hum. I used to create Bubble Fusion when my mom gave me a bath.

Fascinating - always thought that there was substance tothe first reports of coldfusion.

The big question is can it be commercialized

Can they scale it up to power a home?

Replication, an important step towards mainstream acceptance. I wonder if it's easily scalable and/or can be used for space propulsion?

The Physicists I know have widely panned this entire branch of research as a waste of resources. I find it extremely difficult to accept that meaningful fusion on an scale useful as a energy source can be achieved with this approach, much less that fusion is even occurring at all.

Now that is just perfect! A couple of Boilermakers inventing Bubble Fusion. Kinda like back to the future.

Famouse Swedish-American Polka/Jazz Bubble Fusion empressario Lawrence Welk.

Nobody did bubbles like Lawrence Welk.

All I need is some empty beer cans and a few banana peels.

On a more series note, I say:

"Go for it you whacky Physicists!"

I spent the first two years in college on that route, but I excaped (sic) to EE, LOL.

I do remember following that whole Cold Fusion thing, so I'll withhold my opinion.

Redsox won at last.

Ya know, wouldn't it be neat to have a desktop Nuclear Reactor to power my computer, monitor, and printer?

Well, I think the *real* question is can they do it WITHOUT fingernail polish remover???

THEN they'd have something!
