====Misinterpretation of data==== Some research groups initially reported that they had replicated the Fleischmann and Pons results but later retracted their reports and offered an alternative explanation for their original positive results. A group at [[Georgia Institute of Technology|Georgia Tech]] found problems with their neutron detector, and Texas A&M discovered bad wiring in their thermometers.{{sfn|ps=|Bird|1998|pp=261β262}} These retractions, combined with negative results from some famous laboratories,{{sfn|ps=|Browne|1989}} led most scientists to conclude, as early as 1989, that no positive result should be attributed to cold fusion.{{sfn|ps=|Bird|1998|pp=261β262}}{{sfn|ps=|Saeta|1999|loc= (pages 5β6; "Response"; Heeter, Robert F.)}}
