"[[Fusion]] is the [[process]] that [[powers]] the [[Sun]] and the [[stars]]; it uses deuterium, a form of hydrogen, as its fuel. The [[promise]] of cheap [[electricity]], created with reactors much safer than fission reactors and relying on a fuel easily extracted from ordinary [[water]], excited [[policy]] makers. Over the following decades, scientists and engineers expended hundreds of millions of dollars pursuing hot fusion. They found [[fusion]] difficult to [[control]], and fusion reactors required large amounts of [[power]] to raise the temperatures the millions of degrees sufficient to actually create fusion. The dream of using fusion has not yet been realized."
"The [[experiment]] of Pons and Fleischmann consisted of a tabletop apparatus in which deuterium was electrolyzed by two electrodes made of palladium and platinum. The experiment generated more [[energy]] than was put into it. From the beginning, many scientists, especially [[physicists]], doubted that such a simple experiment could yield such [[dramatic]] results. Other [[laboratories]] around the world attempted to duplicate the experiment; some met with partial success, and many failed. A laboratory in Italy announced they had detected excess [[neutrons]] in their experiment, an indication of fusion. The [[media]] went into a '''frenzy''', and [[governments]] quickly announced funding for cold fusion [[research]]." (Cold Fusion. (2005). Science in the Contemporary World: An Encyclopedia.)
