Cold Fusion, Real?

A new paper has been published which claims detection of fusion reactions at room temperature, a.k.a cold fusion. They took the debunked claims of Fleischmann and Pons and continued refining their process.

The claims of Fleischmann and Pons were not actually debunked, that is a myth. You can go here http://newenergytimes.com/PR/Start.htm to learn more about this history.

Bennett Daviss' article in New Scientist on May 3 is a follow-up piece to the in-depth article on the SPAWAR San Diego research by Steven Krivit and Daviss published in New Energy Times in November.

Apparently, New Scientist chose to neglect the term "low energy nuclear reactions," which those of us observing, and working in the field have now adopted.

The term "cold fusion" was never chosen by Fleischmann and Pons; it was wished on them by the press. It was and is a poor descriptor for the phenomenon. The concept of fusion remains highly speculative, a variety of phenomena are clearly not fusion, and then there is the Widom-Larsen not-fusion theory. (http://www.newenergytimes.com/wltheory)
