cold fusion

(Newser) - This is either bombshell, world-changing news or "one of the most elaborate hoaxes in scientific history," reports Mark Gibbs at Forbes . An Italian engineer who claims to have achieved cold fusion—the holy grail of clean energy—says his E-Cat device has been deemed credible by an independent...

(Newser) - Imagine a future in which a microwave-sized device provides unlimited non-polluting, cheap energy for every home in America—using nothing more than water and lithium. So what's the hold up? The device uses low energy nuclear reaction (LENR) technology, a very close cousin of cold fusion, the elusive quest for...

(Newser) - A new lab discovery holds promise that cold fusion could become a reality, according to a US Navy researcher. The chemist—whose report was greeted with skepticism in the scientific world—says her new process created highly energized neutrons in a reaction that could someday provide almost limitless amounts of...
