"In a paper scheduled to appear in the May 18 print issue of the American Chemical Society's Energy & Fuels, Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Hu describes a novel method to achieve spontaneous ignition and sustained combustion at room temperature. He achieves this 'nano-catalytic reaction' with nothing but nanometer-sized particles of platinum stuck to fibers of glass wool in a small jar with methanol and air - with no source of external ignition."

Cold fusion it ain't.

Nope -- but I'll take it anyway.
