This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

Stephen Foley (3 February 2009). "So is Wikipedia cracking up?:It was a utopian vision: an encyclopedia for the people, by the people. But eight years on, Wikipedia is plagued by endless hoaxes, and lurches from one cash crisis to another. Will it become a footnote in the history of the web?". The Independent.

Wigner Energy

In the criticism section no mention is made of the Wigner Energy, which is directly relevant to lattices that are loaded with hydrogen gas for some time, resulting in energy release later from an annealing effect. It should be an aspect of discussions about calorimetry. TheCampaignForRealPhysics (talk) 23:12, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
