A congressional panel is investigating Purdue University’s handling of challenges to a university scientist’s controversial “tabletop” nuclear fusion research.
The House Committee on Science and Technology has raised questions about Purdue’s internal investigation of whether nuclear scientist Rusi Taleyarkhan thwarted efforts to test his findings. “Despite the university’s statement that no misconduct has occurred, many disturbing questions remain about the scope and adequacy of the investigation,” said Rep. Brad Miller, D-N.C., who heads the panel’s subcommittee on investigations and oversight.
