However, independent attempts to confirm these low energy nuclear reactions have always failed.
It was originally reported by two German scientists in 1925, but they later admitted the helium they had measured was from the background. Public awareness was raised in 1989 by the Fleischmann-Pons experiment, in which electrolyzed heavy water using a palladium cathode released far more energy than was expected. However, independent attempts to confirm these low energy nuclear reactions have always failed. For ten points, give the common term for nuclear reactions at low temperature.
