The last I heard of BYU physics department was those two bozos that did a press conference annoncing they'd solved cold fusion. That's incorrect. Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischman (P & F) did their work at the University of Utah - not BYU. Steven Jones did his work at Brigham Young University. P & F's cold fusion attempts utilized palladium catalysis. Jones' cold fusion attempts utilized muon-catalyzed fusion. The two mechanisms have nothing in common except the name "cold fusion". Muon- catalyzed fusion was predicted decades ago and has been observed in the lab - the only issue under contention is whether the muons can last long enough to induce enough fusion events to offset the energy needed to create the muons.
