I once knew, but forgot that he did real cold fusion with muons...this is too funny. :-)
Although at least muon-catalyzed cold fusion worked . . . although in the short life of a muon, it apparently cannot catalyze enough fusion reactions to make as much energy as it took to make the muon in the first place, so it is not a great new source of energy.
I was in Provo at the time, and I'll try to find a summary I wrote of what went on if anyone's interested . . .
