Had they too just made an error? Or did they also achieve "cold fusion" or some other type of "excess energy"? I don't have a clue, but it must be cool to work in a field that tries to unravel the secrets of the universe.
I also remember reports of workers duplicating those results, but as the controversy swung to “that’s impossible” those reports seemed to disappear.

Academic cowardice perhaps?
