“…researchers claimed to have experimentally confirmed cold fusion in a presentation at the American Chemical Society’s annual meeting.

“We have compelling evidence that fusion reactions are occurring” at room temperature…The results are “the first scientific report of highly energetic neutrons from low-energy nuclear reactions,”…scientists were unable to duplicate the 1989 results, thereby discrediting the work…researchers claim that the problem was instrumentation, which was not up to the task…Other presenters at the conference also presented evidence supporting cold fusion…reported both excess heat and helium gas.

“We now have very convincing experimental evidence,”…also reported excess heat generation and gamma-ray emissions.

All three research groups are currently exploring both experimental and theoretical studies in hopes of better understanding the cold fusion process well enough to commercialize it.” Slice One

hmmm…

“Researchers are reporting compelling new scientific evidence for the existence of low-energy nuclear reactions (LENR), the process once called “cold fusion”…One group of scientists…describes what it terms the first clear visual evidence that LENR devices can produce neutrons…”To our knowledge, this is the first scientific report of the production of highly energetic neutrons from an LENR device.”…The first report on “cold fusion,” presented in 1989…could not reproduce their results, and the whole field of research declined…used a special plastic, CR-39, to capture and track any high-energy particles that may have been emitted during reactions…discovered patterns of “triple tracks,” tiny-clusters of three adjacent pits that appear to split apart from a single point…other evidence for nuclear reactions including X-rays, tritium (another form of hydrogen), and excess heat…reported the production of excess heat generation and gamma ray emissions from an unconventional LENR device that uses phenanthrene, a type of hydrocarbon, as a reactant…evidence supporting the existence of low energy nuclear reactions…lab experiments demonstrating the simultaneous production of both excess heat and helium gas…” Slice Two
