Fleischmann, Martin contributions

An Overview of Martin Fleischmann s Contributions to Electrochemical Nucleation Studies... 

Martin Fleischmann, too, is relevant. He got his Ph.D. in a small group near to my group in which Conway worked. However, he joined us in various activities, particularly the discussions. He became well known internationally not only because of his contributions to physical electrochemistry, but also because in 1989 he resuscitated an idea, - which had been introduced by the French and Japanese in the 1960 s, - that nuclear reactions could be carried out in solutions in the cold. 

Some readers of this book will consider that this chapter on cold fusion represents Martin Fleischmann s greatest scientific failure however, the authors believe that this may instead be one of the greatest contributions that Martin Fleischmann, along with Stanley Pons, made to science [1,2]. Unfortunately, early attacks on this field were vigorous, even resorting to personal and unscientific criticisms [3-5], and progress in this field has been slow because of the consequential lack of funding and the difficult problem...
