Wanna buy a used car powered by LENR?
The possibility that LENR is fraudulent, or a result of error is now non-existent, and "the ducks are coming home to roost".
For those of you interested in an in-depth discussion of the science in language a layman can understand, but with sufficient depth to be convincing to the dedicated scientist, this book:
is excellent.

It should also be noted that the Toshiba work was reported at a meeting of the American NUCLEAR Society.

Or so they say.
The possibility that LENR is fraudulent, or a result of error is now non-existent,
The possibility that LENR is fraudulent, or a result of error is now exactly the same as it was before. UNTIL this is PUBLICALLY DEMONSTRATED it still just remains CLAIMS.
It is amazing that the global warming pseudo science gained wide acceptance despite strong evidence it does not exist and was based on manipulated data, while “ cold fusion” has far more credible research supporting it and has not been taken seriously.
You had me until this.
Andrea Rossi is a complete fraud.
It doesn’t inspire confidence when nuclear physicists mis-spell spell “length” in one of their figures.
“The possibility that LENR is fraudulent...” - WW
The probability of fraud the same as it was. Check your logic.
Since some stock certificates are true and valid, are all stock certificates true and valid?
If presented with a stock certificate from BNY Mellon, do you treat it with the same precaution as you would from one claimed to be found in grandma’s safe? How would you treat one presented from a convicted forger?
The scientific process and search for truth is about independent verification. Trust nobody. Instead get their procedures and replicate the findings.
I have always been pulling for cold fusion ever since Pons and Flieshchman announced. I bought the Wall Street Journal the next day to get the details. I am surprised the Israelis have not been more active in cold fusion. They need the energy, they have the scientists, plus successful cold fusion marginalizes Arabs/Muslims who only have oil/gas to sell the world
Japan has few oil/gas resources so they should have always been pushing harder for cold fusion development....But now they are getting there with some heavy hitters
This in itself is pretty old hat. I was running these just last week as a demonstration lab for undergraduate physics students, transforming aluminum into silicon using the thermal neutron-induced n-gamma reaction. Thermal neutron capture by 235U or 239Pu involves low-energy particles but it liberates tremendous amounts of energy.
I know you know that but a lot of people will be taken by the claim "without the use of high-energy nuclear physics". Laymen reading an article like this will be impressed by that statement in and of itself, when they probably should not be. I'm not disputing any of the claims of the people involved here as I have not looked into it too deeply, but I'm just saying throwing around buzzwords and technobabble probably doesn't help their case.
I’m not sure I understand this concept, but I’ve wondered why used radioactive rods had to be stored away. IMHO, it seems that still “radioactive” energy may still be useful.
No?
This article is gibberish. The paragraphs appear to have been dropped in no particular order.
As a matter of research for its own sake, cold fusion passes the test, anything beyond that is obsessive hope.
And it's chickens that roost, not ducks.
Politics has caused profound damage to science many times before. Students should have it beat into their heads that consensus is NOT science, it’s politics.
This was a panel discussion sponsored by Krivit. It doesn't appear to be confirmed or peer reviewed in any way.
