I've already linked to that on the Open thread, and incurred the inevitable downvotes for giving any kind of publicity to Rossi (I didn't whine about the downvotes at all, though).
Short version is that the "independent" verification is still mighty fishy (conducted at Rossi's facility, somewhat under his control, and not using accepted methodology).
Three whole downvotes. How do you sleep at night?
Until now.
This vastly understates the situation. In a stark change from the usual, Lubos Motl is right about something.
Motl is rude, has some strong political beliefs, and personalizes absolutely everything. But when it comes to physics, he generally knows what he's talking about.
The unfortunate thing about him is that he wasted all his energy being a massive troll, and stopped publishing (really good, if mostly string-theoretic) work years ago.
Thanks for the link, I recalled something about an Italian guy trying to pull something a few years back so I became suspicious by two of the four authors being Italian from the get-go, but other than that I just don't have any clue about whether or not cold fusion is actually doable.
I'll look into that tread right away, thanks for the heads up.
