Another MIT researcher, Stanley Luckhardt, told the convention last night that his team has not produced the same amount of heat that Pons and Fleischmann generated in their experiment, but said they are not giving up.
Wolfgang H.E. Rueckner, a staff member of the Advanced Physics Laboratory which is trying to duplicate the Pons-Fleischmann experiment with titanium instead of palladium, called the MIT results disappointing. He added, however, that he will continue his experiment, since his device for detecting neutrons emitted in the reaction is...
Rueckner said that he would be convinced only when results are announced at the Los Alamos National Lab, which is using an exact duplicate of the apparatus Pons and Fleischmann used.
Cabot Professor of the Natural Sciences Isaac F. Silvera, who is also trying to reproduce the Utah results, said that he will continue his experiment because he is using a different method than the one Pons and Fleischmann used.
Ronald R. Parker, the director of MIT's Plasma Fusion Center and a member of Petrasso's research team, said at a news conference Monday that no neutrons or gamma rays could have been detected in the Pons-Fleischmann experiment.
