The cold fusion claims of 1989, in contrast, attracted criticism that spilled over from the purely theoretic domain to the professional one.
Reactions of the second kind were perceptible in the chemistry community from an early stage in the cold fusion controversy.
The extra features shown by the cold fusion controversy are due in part to the disciplinary issues that underlay it.
