Sergio Focardi, 81

Sergio Focardi

Sergio Focardi died June 22. He was 81 and had been in declining health for many years. Focardi was a professor emeritus of physics at the University of Bologna. He was a key associate and friend of Francesco Piantelli, who discovered the nickel-hydrogen-gas LENR method. New Energy Times wrote two feature articles about their work in 2008. Piantelli and Focardi were never able to achieve high rates of repeatability for their work, nor did they ever achieve widespread recognition for their significant contribution to the field.
