Is it any wonder then, that fusion researchers are looking for more efficient fusion machines?

Mostly in the 1990s several books were published that were critical of cold fusion research methods and the conduct of cold fusion researchers.

Since 2005, Naturwissenschaften has published cold fusion papers; in 2009, the journal named a cold fusion researcher to its editorial board.

In response to skepticism about the lack of nuclear products, cold fusion researchers have tried to capture and measure nuclear products correlated with excess heat.

This process is known as "ignition", and has long been a goal of fusion researchers.

Two weeks after his absence set off an uproar, a top cold fusion researcher met privately with Utah officials today to discuss his work.

From then onward, fusion researchers had the conviction that at least one magnetic system could yield the confinement needed for a reactor.

By 1980, the Fusion Energy Foundation had close contacts with fusion researchers.

Dr. Schmidt, head of the proposed new machine, said fusion researchers' aim was to develop new materials and metals that are far stronger than current ones.

Other fusion researchers such as Rostoker and Monkhorst disagreed with this assessment.
