EXCELLENT >> Cold Fusion: 18 hour test excludes combustion - [Additional details and corrections on the 18-hour test we reported on yesterday.] “In my opinion, all chemical sources are now excluded,” physicist Giuseppe Levi told Ny Teknik. "At night we did a measurement and the device then worked very stable and produced 20 kilowatts." He had a peek inside the black box to see there were no batteries. (NyTeknik; February 23, 2011)

Italian scientists claim to invent cold fusion - (A fairly decent overview of the main points, but leans heavy on the skeptical tone, and exhibits an obvious lack of appreciation of the extensive science behind the field in general. But at least they covered it -- something very few news agencies are doing, yet; the previous one being Discovery two days ago.) (TechEye.net; January , 2011)

Cold Fusion Claims Resurface - Discovery's coverage of the Italian breakthrough is even more pathetic that Popular Science, saying "Pons and Fleischmann ... remain adamant that their research was valid, though no one has been able to reproduce their findings"; when it has been reproduced roughly 17,000 times. Mainstream publications are digging their grave by such ridiculous idiocy. (Discovery; January 21, 2011)

Italian Scientists Claim (Dubious) Cold Fusion Breakthrough - Unfortunately, Popular Science's coverage of the Rossi-Focardi 10 kW H-Ni cold fusion press confernce is near the extreme of skeptical, jabbing in their image description: "The future of energy involves tin foil and Dell laptops". I posted an excoriating comment regarding their knee-jerk tendency to poo poo cold fusion. (Popular Science; January 20, 2011)

Italian scientists claim to have demonstrated cold fusion - Italian scientists Andrea Rossi and Sergio Focardi announced that they developed a cold fusion device capable of producing 12,400 W of heat power with an input of just 400 W. Last Friday, the scientists held a private invitation press conference in Bologna, attended by about 50 people, where they demonstrated what they claim is a nickel-hydrogen fusion reactor.
