Cold Fusion Gets a Boost From the US Navy
Tjeerd writes in to alert us to the publication in a highly respected, peer-reviewed journal of results indicative of table-top fusion. The US Navy's Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center in San Diego, CA (called Spawar) has apparently been conducting research on "cold fusion" since the days of the discredited report of Pons and Fleischmann. They are reporting on the reproducible detection of highly energetic charged particles from a wire coated in palladium-deuterium and subjected to either an electric or a magnetic field. Their paper was published in February in the journal Naturwissenschaften (which has published work by Einstein, Heisenberg, and Lorenz). New Scientist also has a note about the fusion work but it is available only to subscribers.

.NET or J2EE.
I wonder why they chose that over ASP
The theory of relativity doesn't work right in Arkansas.
"... low energy nuclear reaction (LERN)" Someone needs to LERN to abbreviate correctly. (-:
I won't believe the Navy has really discovered anything until they commission The Village People to write a song about it.
Hopefully I didn't put any [] around my words.
When I saw the title I thought it was about ColdFusion and started wondering why the hell would the Navy want to improve MySpace :)
