Successful Cold Fusion Experiment?

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the so-cold-it's-hot dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The italian economic journal 'Il sole 24 ore' published an article about a successful cold fusion experiment performed by Yoshiaki Arata in Japan. They seems to have pumped high pressure deutherium gas in a nanometric matrix of palladium and zyrcon oxide. The experiments generates a considerable amount of energy and they found the presence of Helium-4 in the matrix (as sign of the fusion). I was not able to find other articles about this but the journal is very authoritative in Italy. Google translations are also available."

    Must have been a very successful experiment. All the "H" are indeed gone!

      Well, that was certainly the most interesting etymological post I've seen on slashdot lately! Certainly more interesting than an article on physics posted in an Italian business magazine, which seems to have been the original topic.

      That mod option is right next to the "-1 Resists Education" one.

    That's why Slashdot has editors to clean up the submissions, and discard the dupes.

    Oh, wait...

    or at best, it's a "word changing experiment". ;)

    In my personal experience, machine translation has long since surpassed your average Italian English speaker.

    Don't be silly. That would violate the principle of conservation of Hs. They appear to have migrated to the the deuterium and converted it to "deutherium."

      Law of *conservation* of H's? No, no, no. See, this is Japan. They create H all the time -- one of the most common formulas is Schoolgirl + 6Tentacle -> Schoolgirl +12Tentacle + H

    Don't worry, I'll get modded down once the U.S. Slashdotters start logging on. Americans whose great-great-grandparents came from Sicily will see me talking shit about "Italians" and think that I was talking about them.
