Post by: AKIron on July 26, 2023, 04:56:10 PM: Interesting. Could be world changing if proven true.

I agree. You'll recall the headlines in May when Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory allegedly successfully completed the first cold fusion. There has been precious little announced progress on this since that first news release.
