The Google Alerts program brought me the following link:

I am not a subscriber to nature.com, so I do not know what the article
says, but Google brought me a partial quote:
"Physics: Far from the frontier
Nature.com (subscription) - London,England,UK
... problem with reports of tabletop fusion is that for most scientists
they evoke memories of the notorious, and now largely discredited, 'cold
fusion' claim made ... "
Note that it says: "now largely discredited . . ." Perhaps it is my
imagination, but I detect a slight change in emphasis. Unfortunately, at
this rate it will take a hundred years for Nature to admit its mistake.
