Our son won third place in the 5th grade for his Science Fair project on Nuclear Fusion. He was fascinated by the process and still is. I'll have to show him this article when he's finished with his Math lesson.

Temperature is the average kinetic energy of any number of molecules. To say that the temperature falls below that critical for fusion is only saying that on average, the molecules don't have enough KE to fuse atoms.

Well, no duh, if it didn't these researchers would be the first to know and the last to tell.

This is about as conclusive as Viking confirming no life exists on Mars. It's not a positive result, but it isn't a negative either.

We've shown that chemistry occurs within a collapsing bubble, and that it limits the energy available during cavitation

Sounds like some vocational myopia.
The cold fusion dudes were so focused on a physics-based solution that they forgot their chemistry.
Well, for the time being we still have advanced fission reactors to address our energy needs.

That's disappointing indeed. They need 10,000,000 degrees and fell short by 9,998,000. Maybe next time.
