Quantum physics in 1-D: New experiment supports long-predicted 'Luttinger liquid' model How would electrons behave if confined to a wire so slender they could pass through it only in single-file? Read more at: http://phys.org/news/2014-01-quantum-physics-d-long-predicted-luttinger.html#jCp The question has intrigued scientists for more than half a century. In 1950, Japanese Nobel Prize winner Sin-Itiro Tomonaga, followed by American physicist Joaquin Mazdak Luttinger in 1963, came up with a mathematical model showing that the effects of one particle on all others in a one-dimensional line would be much greater than in two- or three-dimensional spaces. Among quantum physicists, this model came to be...

Cold fusion continues to progress stealthily into the mainst Postby ko » Sun Jan 19, 2014 7:51 pm Cold fusion continues to progress stealthily into the mainstream Science 15 January 14 by David Hambling http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/201 ... mainstream Flickr / cc-licensed jmayer Cold fusion, otherwise known as Low Energy Nuclear Reactions or LENR is fringe science -- but it continues to progress stealthily into the mainstream. The developments over the last few months have been in business rather than science, with focus shifting towards commercialising a technology claimed to be able to generate unlimited energy from cheap, desktop-sized reactors. The current...

Stanislaw Szpak ∗ , † and Frank Gordon ‡ SPAWAR Systems Center, San Diego, CA 92152. USA Abstract A selected group of experimental evidence indicates that the Pd/D–D 2 O system can be put in its nuclear active state. This is done by negatively polarizing the system which (i) starts the process of self-organization, i.e. development of coherent processes involving protons/deuterons and lattice defects to produce the pre-nuclear active state and (ii) creates conditions for the electron capture by proton/deuteron reaction to occur. The low energy neutrons transform the pre-nuclear active state into an active state, i.e. display of features...

Some great sleuthing by E-Cat World reader ‘Mr. Moho’ has turned up more information about the Cherokee Investment Partnership involvement with the E-Cat. An article on a Chinese site called Icebank.cn, (apparently a refrigeration company) provides more information about Cherokee Investment Partners CEO Thomas Darden’s recent visit to China in connection with his involvement with the newly formed company Industrial Heat LLC. It must be noted that the information gleaned has come from a Google translation of the article, and so some of the quotes and details may be a little confusing, but I think the general gist of the...

Twenty years ago this week, a pair of previously unknown scientists stunned the world by announcing they'd done the impossible by achieving nuclear fusion in a lab flask at room temperature. Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons quickly became celebrities as the news media hailed them for discovering a cheap source of nearly limitless power. But it all fell apart as other scientists couldn't duplicate their results, and the pair later admitted they'd made mistakes in the experiments. Now a U.S. Navy researcher, speaking on the anniversary of and in the same city where they made their announcement, thinks Fleischmann and...

The Peak Oil Crisis: Cold Fusion Moves East January 7, 2014 5:44 PM 23 Comments By Tom Whipple Many of us believe that life on this planet is in a lot of trouble. The climate is becoming unstable; there are too many people; oceans are dying, sea levels are rising; and water, food, clean air, and minerals are coming into short supply. For many, the economy refuses to grow fast enough to maintain living standards. Although appreciated by only a handful, the evidence continues to build that, unless we have reached some kind of a tipping point, there may be...

Previous Next Industry and academic partnerships report from JCF-14 meeting [Translate] The Japanese Cold Fusion Research Society (JCF) held their fourteenth meeting on December 7-8, 2013 at the Tokyo Institute of Technology in Tokyo, Japan where teams from academia and industry reported on their research. Japanese business was an early supporter of cold fusion, also called Condensed-matter Fusion (CF), with giants like Toyota Corporation funding research that supported Drs. Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons in their French laboratory. Over the twenty-five years since, official support waned for the notoriously difficult-to-reproduce reaction. The Japanese Cold Fusion Society (JCF) was formed in...

This Kalman neutron-exchange paper is most definitely of interest to LENR. It offers yet another hypothetical way to get nuclear energy out of hydrogen-loaded metals with no free neutrons (as with W-L)- and with few of the other indicia of hot reactions. This electron-assisted modality also seems to work well - even better -...
