US Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) to hold LENR Workshop:

Low-Energy Nuclear Reactions Workshop

October 21-22, 2021 The objective of this workshop is to explore compelling R&D opportunities in Low-Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR) [1], in support of developing metrics for a potential ARPA-E R&D program in LENR. Despite a large body of empirical evidence for LENR that has been reported internationally over the past 30+ years in both published and unpublished materials, as well as multiple books, there still does not exist a widely accepted, on-demand, repeatable LENR experiment nor a sound theoretical basis. This has led to a stalemate where adequate funding is not accessible to establish irrefutable evidence and understanding of LENR, and lack of the latter precludes the field from accessing adequate funding. Building on and leveraging the most promising recent developments in LENR research, ARPA-E envisions a potential two-phase approach toward breaking this stalemate:

1. Support targeted R&D toward establishing at least one on-demand, repeatable LENR experiment with diagnostic evidence that is convincing to the wider scientific community (focus of this workshop); 2. If phase 1 above is successful (metrics to be determined), support a broader range of R&D activities (to be defined later) toward better understanding of LENR and its potential for scale-up toward disruptive energy applications, thus setting up LENR for broader and more systematic support by both the public and private sectors. Familiar LENR researcher names that will have a role in the development of the workshop are:

David Nagel, Florian Metzler, David McKubre, Robert Duncan,

Also one expert of Calorimetry (David Fork) and Matt Trevithick, both officially participating as Google representatives.

Of special interest is that will involve a “lightning session” with private sector enterprises:

Clean Planet, Industrial Heat, Brillouin Energy, LENRIA, Limitless Space Institute, Anthropocene Institute (5 each followed by Q&A/discussion) .

Also of note the foot page that acknowledges LENR as:

“For the purposes of this workshop, LENR is defined as a not-yet-understood process (or class of processes) characterized by system energy outputs characteristic of nuclear physics (typically >> 1 keV/amu/reaction) and energy inputs characteristic of chemistry (~eV/atom).“


TOPICS: Science
KEYWORDS: cmns; coldfusion; lenr
This is yet another official recognition of LENR as a valid field of Research in great need of funding and further development.

This topic has a following, people who wish to learn and discuss the materials presented.

Please refrain from posting anything that doesn’t legitimately address the issue.

Something is going on in this segment of science. There are a considerable number of research groups studying the matter. -Sidebar Moderator


The issue isn’t whether we allow skepticism, it is whether we allow hyperskeptics and skeptopaths to ruin the scientific dialog. Civil discussion of the involved science is desired.

Wow! I guess MIT's "wake for cold fusion" was a bit premature.

Maybe they had a wake but now they’re woke to LENR.

The treachery of those who tried to strangle LENR in the crib will not be forgotten.

Sure it will. It already has been forgotten. Science progresses one funeral at a time.
