- For those who are interested, and I assume that is most of you, there is
- a nice article in today's (17 Nov 92) NYTimes about Cold Fusion research
- in Japan. Dateline is Nagoya, and the article is a feature article
- follow-up to the recent conference. (The article is in the "Science Times"
- section, starting on B-5 in the national edition we get here.) It includes
- nice pictures of Ikegami and Takahashi and some interesting statements
- from all parties involved.
-
- Akito Arima says he still sees no reason to take out the razor and shave
- his head, Huizenga says the Japanese are repeating mistakes made in the
- US, Ikegami says he had to go to Europe to find a "critic" since no
- Japanese would attack the work being done, and some observations that
- Japan is more technologically optimistic and thus willing to take a
- chance on a long shot like cold fusion. There is much more; the
- continuation of the article is about half a page.
-
- What I found most interesting was a statement that implied that each
- professor in Japan has $40,000/year in discretionary research funds!
