The long-standing debate about cold fusion is receiving new impetus at the American Chemical Society's national meeting in the US this week.
Cold fusion, first announced 20 years ago on Monday, was claimed to be a boundless source of clean energy by Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons.
Attempts to replicate their experiments failed, but a number of researchers insist that cold fusion is possible.
The meeting will see several ...

This is a short article that notes widely discredited "cold fusion" will be discussed at a session of the American Chemical Society. The article is fair but really relies on only one source.
In cold fusion experiments, something was going on that did not appear to be strictly chemical. The hype and large expenditures of 20 years ago were not warranted but closing the experimental loop is desirable.
It appears there are two sources used here, probably from opposite sides of the cold fusion debate. But the balance is not very fair. The story has a fragmented feel to it, as though the reporter had a tough time weaving a story from disorganized interviews. Not all facts are supported by evidence.
Interesting article about the resurgence of interest in cold fusion, based on an experiment first announced 20 years ago, but never replicated on a wide scale. The article points out that many scientists still doubt that this approach can work, but are open to exploring all possibilities. However, only two scientists are quoted in the article, which suggests that more could be learned from a more in-depth report.
