Cold fusion is the term proposed to describe controlled nuclear fusion reactions occurring at or near room temperature. The attainment of cold fusion, with a net release of energy, was announced at a press conference in Salt Lake City, Utah, on March...

Nuclear fusion has long been thought to have the potential to be a cheap and virtually unlimited source of energy. However, fusion requires extremely high temperatures or pressures. Cold fusion is fusion occurring at moderate temperatures and...

Viewpoint: Yes, the experiments of Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons offered legitimate proof that cold fusion exists, and subsequent efforts by other scientists have supported their claim. Viewpoint: No, Fleischmann and Pons did not utilize proper...

Cold fusion is a controversial effect reported by some researchers to have been produced from nuclear fusion at conditions near room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Early announcements raised hopes of a cheap source of electricity or fuel, but as...

10th anniversary update It's been 10 years since Drs. Pans and Fleishmann set the scientific world on end with their claim to producing fusion at room temperature with a simple tabletop apparatus. Not only did their news send physicists scrambling for their...

Long-range predictions by meteorologists at this weather station for the New Year are gloomy (bearing in mind, of course, that there is no money in good news). With that in mind, here’s the forecast for 2006: January: In his State of the Nation speech, President...
