Bubble Fusion Results Replicated by 4 Institutions

Posted by Hemos on from the moving-towards-more dept.

Trackster writes ""TROY, N.Y. - Physical Review E has announced the publication of an article by a team of researchers from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), Purdue University, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), and the Russian Academy of Science (RAS) stating that they have replicated and extended previous experimental results that indicated the occurrence of nuclear fusion using a novel approach for plasma confinement." Here's another link in case EVWorld gets burned."

    I don't think we're allowed to get excited by this possibility, because it was used in a crappy movie.

    I'm also surprised that this isn't on the main page of Slashdot. When reading the previous article on the discovery, there was a lot of "let's wait for confirmation" messages. Now we have it and it seems an appropriate time to get excited

    I'm sorry. We prefer to keep the main page of slashdot for unconfirmed loony perpetual motion devices.
