Characterising cold fusion in 2D models

Researchers have made significant progress in understanding cold fusion through a new 2D modelling approach. By directly calculating the probabilities of fusion reactions involving muonic pairs of tritium atoms, the team found that these processes are 1 billion times more likely to occur than in 3D systems.

Scientists revisit the cold case of cold fusion

A team of scientists from top universities and Google is investigating cold fusion, a type of benign nuclear reaction that could offer an attractive option for decarbonizing the global energy system. The research collaboration has produced promising new insights into metal-hydrogen interactions and has not yet found evidence of the phe...
