Indiana University found that nuclear engineering professor Rusi Taleyarkhan committed research conduct. The conduct wasn’t actually in his allegedly finding cold fusion, but slapping another prof’s name, as well as his own, on the paper he produced later, as well as claiming his findings were independently confirmed.
They weren’t then, and they still haven’t been.
That said, with, $140/bbl oil, I suspect shysters will be trying to trot out cold-fusion powered cars soon enough.
