When this research was published in Science Magazine, it was in their online magazine at sciencemag.org ... I don't know if it is available there now, but it is in the first March issue. I carefully reviewed their research, and I believe it is very likely that they produced fusion. They were very careful to avoid the Pons et al debacle. One of the lead authors is one of the directors of research at Oak Ridge. All I see there is very convincing. I am anxiously awaiting the confirmation experiments.
Whether this will have any commercial applicability, or will remain a laboratory curiousity like superfluidity of liquid helium is yet to be seen. I will bet you dollars to pennies that there are many companies, engineers, and fly-by-night inventors who are presently frantically pursuing this Holy Grail as I write this though, because the apparatus they used is very available and inexpensive, and the returns and patents available are almost unimaginable if commercial viability is ever achieved.
Cold fusion is real. It has been confirmed in
several labs including the
US Navy.
The recent ICCF-9 meeting was a success.
It has an advantage over these systems of not emitting neutrons.
