Here is something hilarious about the Nature webpage for this paper. Look at Reference 1. They just couldn't help themselves!
1. Fleischmann, M. & Pons, S. Electrochemically induced nuclear fusion of deuterium. *J. Electroanal. Chem. Interfacial Electrochem*. 261, 301–308 (1989). Article that introduced the possibility of room-temperature fusion during electrolysis with a palladium cathode in a LiOD/D 2 O electrolyte solution, publicly revealed at a press conference at the University of Utah on 23 March 1989. Here is something not so funny: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-01683-9 QUOTE: "Frank Close, a theoretical physicist at the University of Oxford, UK, says that the scientific mainstream has shunned the topic for good reason: no one has managed to independently reproduce the finding." I wonder if he really believes that? He is either crazy or a bold liar. Unfortunately, other people will believe him.
