- COLD FUSION
-
- A Massachusetts Institute of Technology IAP Lecture Program
- January 16, 1993 Saturday 9AM-4PM Room 6-120
-
- Cold fusion is the production of excess power from
- electrochemical cells, typically involving heavy water with
- palladium, or light water with nickel. From these systems and
- from metals in gases, nuclear products and radiation have
- also been reported, such as tritium, neutrons, helium-4, and
- charged particles. As the literature of cold fusion expands,
- the startling phenomena are of continuing interest to
- experimentalists, theoreticians, inventors, and
- entrepreneurs. In this day of lectures, discussions, and
- videos, we will focus on the history, science, technology,
- and business of cold fusion.
