Two 1989 original press releases related to the reported discovery of cold fusion at the University of Utah, and the use of National Instruments LabView program in attempting to verify the findings.
In a March 23, 1989 news conference at the university’s Henry Eyring Building, chemists Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann claimed that they had produced gobs of heat from a tabletop electrolysis experiment – so much heat that it could only be explained if nuclear fusion were occurring. And if fusion energy can be produced from such a simple device, it had the potential to redefine energy on the planet. This would have been the Holy Grail for energy.
