A recent review paper in Nature showed some Google-backed academic research, conducted across several institutions, which investigated the claims made by the Cold Fusion community. Agonisingly, it came out a day or two after I'd taped the Cold Fusion episode for our fusion series. But I decided to talk about it anyway.
In this bonus episode, we'll discuss what they found (spoilers: not cold fusion) and describe the experiments in more detail.
