Bubble-fusion allegations merit more investigation

Purdue University makes statement on bubble fusion researcher Taleyarkhan.

A Purdue University panel inquiring into allegations of research misconduct against nuclear engineer Rusi Taleyarkhan has concluded that "several matters merit further investigation".

The panel was set up after contact between Purdue, based in West Lafayette, Indiana, and the Office of Naval Research, which in 2005 allocated $250,000 to research by Taleyarkhan.
