Bubble Fusion Bubbles Up Again

By Mark Anderson

The twelve-year-old "bubble fusion" saga reignited this week. Bubble fusion is the theory that nuclear fusion can be induced by rapidly collapsing bubbles in certain fluids. According to a new investigative report into Oak Ridge National Laboratory records, a highly publicized finding from 2002 that cast the controversial tabletop nuclear fusion experiment into doubt has itself been cast into doubt.

In fact, the reporter who examined the Oak Ridge document dump also found possible vindicating evidence that might have supported some of the embattled researchers—including lead author Rusi Taleyarkhan, now at Purdue University.

The report by Steven B. Krivit, publisher of New Energy Times finds, Talekyarkan's critics instead "said that they attempted their own experiment, but they didn't. They measured confirmatory data and later publicly said that they did not measure confirmatory data."
