A monthly round-up of the best of LENR-Forum, LENR research, CMNS papers, patents, media, videos, and emerging-energy news.
Your Source for Open Science and Emerging Energy Technology
August has been another highly active month for Low-Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR), Condensed Matter Nuclear Science (CMNS), Solid-State Fusion (SSF), Lattice Confinement Fusion (LCF), anomalous heat research and the wider metal-hydrogen energy field.
Commercial groups continue moving toward larger prototypes, industrial testing, financing and intellectual-property development. At the same time, the scientific discussion surrounding nuclear reactions inside condensed matter has expanded significantly following the recent Nature Communications work on sub-keV D-D fusion in metallic hydrides.
Perhaps the most notable late-August development is a newly released NASA Technical Reports Server presentation by Lawrence Forsley tracing the parallel NASA and Google solid-state-fusion research programs and explicitly connecting those programs with DOE ARPA-E LENR and DARPA’s new MARRS initiative.
With ICCF-27 beginning August 31 in Niagara Falls and a new ISCMNS quarterly newsletter now circulating, the September newsletter should have plenty more to report.

3.) ENG8 moves toward 100 kW industrial testing
Following its PRIO JumpStart 2026 win, ENG8 has provided additional information on its move from laboratory-scale EnergiCell experiments toward industrial deployment.
ENG8 says its planned 100 kW Primus installation in Aveiro, Portugal, will supply hot air into an operating industrial process and is intended to move its technology from approximately TRL 4–5 toward TRL 7–8.
The company also states that first commercial energy sales are targeted for Q4 2026.
A separate ENG8 update states that a 100 kW EnergiCell is being installed in a working ceramics production line under a June 29 letter of intent, while a second pilot with PRIO is under development.
On August 27, ENG8 also announced selection for Tech Foundry Portugal – Deep Tech Edition, saying its first industrial trial is beginning and reiterating that it expects first commercial energy sales in Q4 2026.
These field tests will be particularly important because sustained, third-party-instrumented industrial operation is substantially more informative than laboratory COP claims alone.

4.) ASTRAL Systems expands following £23 million Series A and opens DT fusion testing to commercial access
ASTRAL Systems secured a £23 million Series A financing round earlier this summer, a significant commercial milestone for its expanding fusion-neutron and medical-isotope program.
The University of Bristol reports that the round was led by Mercia Ventures with participation from Tees River, Daphni, Blast Club and existing investors including Speedinvest and Playfair Capital.
A major late-August development followed on August 27, when the UK Nuclear Industry Association reported that ASTRAL had opened its privately developed deuterium-tritium (DT) fusion testing platform to commercial users.
The announcement says the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) has commissioned an experimental campaign at the facility after ASTRAL demonstrated 60 hours of sustained DT operation across two parallel reactor modules.
During that campaign, ASTRAL reports DT neutron fluences exceeding 10¹¹ n/cm², and the commissioned work includes tritium-breeding experiments supporting UKAEA’s LIBRTI program, radiation-diagnostics work and characterization of ASTRAL’s neutron generators.
ASTRAL says it is now extending the platform toward longer-duration campaigns lasting weeks and eventually months.
This is important as commercial fusion infrastructure rather than as evidence of net power production: the reported milestone concerns sustained DT neutron irradiation and access to a test environment, not fusion-energy breakeven.

5.) BIACO continues demonstrator and intellectual-property development
BIACO has continued expanding its patent portfolio and says it plans to begin trials of a 50 kW demonstrator with industrial partners from late 2026.
The company’s patent activity should be followed as part of its broader transition from laboratory plasma-cell work toward larger field demonstrations.

6.) American Fusion reports continued Texatron testing toward D–³He fusion conditions
On August 27, American Fusion issued a new testing update on its Texatron pulsed magnetic-compression program, covering an approximately 500 kW 11-inch development configuration and a proposed 5 MW 23-inch configuration.
The company reports repeatable high-pressure magnetic-confinement testing with peak pressures of approximately 100,000 atmospheres and says a new portable vacuum chamber arrived at its development facility on August 26.
Its next work is aimed at characterizing the combined plasma temperature, density and confinement time required for deuterium–helium-3 fusion.
American Fusion’s release also presents modeled fusion-reaction and energy-per-pulse figures for assumed plasma conditions. Importantly, the company explicitly states that these figures are calculations, not measurements of fusion output, ignition, net energy gain or continuous electrical generation.
This update is adjacent to conventional/pulsed-fusion news rather than LENR, but it is relevant because American Fusion is already being followed in this newsletter for its rapidly expanding patent portfolio.

7.) Thunderchild Fusion hiring Senior Scientist for low-energy fusion research in 2D materials
Thunderchild Fusion is recruiting a Senior Scientist in Low Energy, High Flux Accelerator Physics and Particle Detection to lead an experimental program investigating nuclear fusion in low-dimensional matter.
The role calls for development of a milliampere-class ion accelerator operating at tens of kilovolts, together with a high-vacuum target station for ultra-thin and two-dimensional material targets. Responsibilities include prompt and dosimetric nuclear-reaction-product measurements, precision beam analysis, in-situ target monitoring, residual-gas monitoring and determination of energy balance in novel fuel configurations.
Thunderchild describes its current research approach as using 2D nanomaterials to investigate fusion processes in unusual material environments. The hiring notice is therefore a useful indication of the instrumentation and experimental direction the company intends to pursue, rather than evidence of demonstrated fusion-energy production.

Papers:
1.) Analysis and Control Factors for Generation of Nuclear Reactions in Metals
Tadahiko Mizuno / Steve Kuo-Hsing Hwang
Research Square preprint
Posted May 7, 2026
Mizuno and Hwang report that heavily cold-worked SUS304 stainless steel, when heated, produced anomalous heat, electromotive force and signals interpreted as gamma radiation and neutrons.
The authors emphasize that the metal composition and especially the mechanical processing treatment appear to be critical variables.
They report more than 500 separate tests since 2020, with detailed analysis focused particularly on experiments performed during 2024–2025.
The paper has become one of the major technical discussion topics on LENR-Forum during August.

LENR-Forum Mizuno latest 304ss results: gamma, neutrons, heat
Readers note: the neutron, gamma and calorimetric observations are consequential experimental claims and require careful evaluation of backgrounds, detector calibration, controls, statistics and independent replication.
Experimental follow-up from MagicSound
LENR-Forum and MFMP member MagicSound reported an interim experiment performed at Ed Storms suggestion which he believes is consistent with Mizuno’s recent SUS304 activation results.
MagicSound wrote that his data appeared to support the recent finding of 304-alloy activation.
This can be described as an experimental follow-up, not a completed independent replication.

2.) 4H/TSC WS Fusion Theory in brief view
Akito Takahashi
NHFE Tech Report 20260820
August 20, 2026
DOI: 10.13140/RG.2.2.19920.88324
Akito Takahashi has published an updated short presentation of his 4H/TSC weak-interaction fusion theory.
ResearchGate identifies the document as an August 2026 technical report uploaded by Takahashi on August 21. The report specifically states that the deuterium-side TSC model is not included in this update.
The proposed model involves four protons occupying a transient tetrahedral configuration with four electrons in nanoscale hydrogen-loaded materials.
Takahashi proposes that four protons condense toward a T-site and undergo femtosecond-scale motion, followed in the theory by electron capture and subsequent nuclear interaction.
The report attempts to correlate this proposed mechanism with reported excess-energy generation and hydrogen absorption/desorption behavior in nanostructured catalyst powders exposed to ordinary H₂ at approximately 200-1000 °C.
It also reproduces NHFE experimental examples reporting long-duration excess heat and discusses helium-3 measurements that Takahashi interprets in support of the 4H/TSC mechanism.

Readers note: this is an NHFE technical report and theoretical interpretation, not a newly peer-reviewed journal article.
3.) The Trajectory of Recent Solid State Fusion Results
Lawrence P. Forsley
Global Energy Corporation / NASA Glenn Research Center
NASA Technical Reports Server
Document ID: 20260007648
Publication Date: August 24, 2026
This may be one of the most important additions to the August newsletter.
Forsley’s presentation reviews the parallel development of solid-state-fusion research supported by NASA and Google Research and traces how those programs converged on several common areas including plasma loading, deuterium loading and electron screening.
The NASA record describes the document as a presentation, technically reviewed through a NASA Peer Committee, prepared for a DoD DARPA Defense Science Office meeting in Arlington, Virginia, August 24–28, 2026.
Dr. Forsley writes that NASA has funded LENR/solid-state-fusion-related work since 1989, while Google’s organized research effort began in 2014.
The presentation connects NASA work with earlier U.S. Navy SPAWAR experiments and patents, while connecting Google’s program with research at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, UBC, MIT and other institutions.
It specifically lists two granted patents arising from the Google-associated work:
US 10,264,661 B2 Target structure for enhanced electron screening
US 10,566,094 B2 Enhanced electron screening through plasmon oscillations
Dr. Forsley argues that these otherwise separate research trajectories helped provide impetus for the later DOE ARPA-E LENR program and the DARPA Defense Sciences Office MARRS – Mechanisms for Amplification of Fusion Reaction Rates in Solids program.
The presentation places particular emphasis on the recent Nature Communications work showing an unexpected low-energy fusion-yield plateau in palladium and titanium hydrides.

4.) Machine learning–based estimation of electron screening potential in the ⁹Be(p,α)⁶Li reaction
D. Chattopadhyay
Nuclear Physics A
Volume 1072
August 2026
Article 123416
This is not an LENR paper, but it is directly relevant to a conventional nuclear-physics mechanism frequently discussed in LCF and CMNS: electron screening at low energies.
The study uses neural-network methods to reanalyse low-energy reaction data and obtains an electron-screening potential of approximately:
269.64 ± 32 eV
for the ⁹Be(p,α)⁶Li reaction.
The work is useful context because screening potentials and their behavior in condensed matter remain central to understanding low-energy nuclear-reaction enhancement.

Readers note: this is conventional nuclear astrophysics and does not itself demonstrate anomalous heat or room-temperature fusion.
Patents:
1.) American Fusion reaches 100 pending patent applications
On August 24, American Fusion announced that it had reached 100 pending U.S. patent applications associated with its Texatron Fusion Engine platform.
The milestone follows the filing of another 17 U.S. applications between August 16 and August 22.
According to the company, the latest filings cover areas including:
- aluminum confinement structures;
- clamshell and unitary housings;
- hollow and rifled toroidal chambers;
- electromagnetic-field structures;
- fuel-injection systems;
- coil configurations;
- associated system architectures.
This supersedes American Fusion’s earlier August announcement reporting 82 applications.

Readers note: these are patent applications, not 100 granted patents, and patent activity does not establish technical performance.
2.) BIACO ranks 13th in UK patent applications
A correction to an earlier newsletter draft:
BIACO did not rank #1.
The company reported that it ranked 13th worldwide for UK patent applications filed during 2025, based on UK Intellectual Property Office statistics.
BIACO’s growing IP portfolio remains noteworthy, but patent-filing volume should be treated as an indication of development strategy rather than proof of technological validity.

In the Media:
1.) Physics World: Nuclear fusion persists at ultralow energies inside metal foils
On August 3, Physics World covered the recent Nature Communications article:
Enhanced nuclear fusion in the sub-keV energy regime
The UC Davis/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory team measured D-D fusion in palladium and titanium hydrides from approximately 0.25–6.5 keV center-of-mass energy.
Below roughly 2 keV, the measured fusion yield reached a plateau rather than continuing the expected exponential decline.
At the lowest energy examined, the reported fusion yield exceeded the bare-nucleus prediction by more than 10¹⁸.
The authors emphasize, however, that the absolute reaction rate remains far too low for energy production.
The significance is therefore not a power-producing cold-fusion result, but strong evidence that the condensed-matter environment—including electronic structure, defects and hydrogen transport—can substantially modify very-low-energy nuclear-reaction behavior.

2.) New Fire Energy launches source-linked LENR / frontier-energy intelligence project
On August 25, New Fire Energy published:
The LENR Energy Frontier Has Been Scattered for Decades. Now We’re Bringing It Together
The article introduces New Fire Signal, an AI-assisted research and intelligence platform intended to connect companies, researchers, papers, patents, conferences, validation activity and commercialization milestones across LENR, CMNS and related frontier-energy areas.
The most useful aspect of the proposed approach is its explicit effort to keep evidence categories distinct:
- company claims remain company claims;
- patents are treated as intellectual-property records rather than validation;
- papers remain research records rather than proof of commercial performance;
- community reports provide context rather than independent confirmation.
This methodology is especially relevant to LENR, where scientific papers, forum reports, patents, company announcements and independent validation are often discussed together despite having very different evidentiary weight.

3.) HYLENR receives additional media attention
HYLENR has continued receiving wider media coverage around its proposed modular LCF systems and possible industrial, defence and remote-power applications.
A useful additional August profile comes from YourStory, which reports the company’s roughly ₹26 crore pre-Series A funding, product ambitions and earlier public demonstrations while also noting that HYLENR’s central excess-heat and transmutation claims have not been published in a peer-reviewed journal or independently reproduced.
As always, technical performance figures reported by secondary media should be traced back to original test reports where possible rather than treated as independent verification.

5.) Solid State Fusion Discovery examines input-power metrology in excess-heat experiments
A new August technical primer from Solid State Fusion Discovery, “Watts In, Watts Out,” focuses on an often-overlooked part of calorimetric claims: accurately measuring the electrical power entering an experiment.
The article points out that for clean DC, voltage multiplied by current is adequate, but in experiments using pulsed, ramped or distorted waveforms, real power must be obtained from the time-average of instantaneous voltage and current.
A few-percent input-power error can be decisive when the claimed excess heat is itself only a small fraction of total power.
The piece recommends wide-band power analysis, careful grounding and shielding, correct accounting for electrolysis and recombination, and precise characterization of non-DC stimulation.
Importantly, it does not claim that correcting these issues establishes LENR; its argument is that rigorous electrical metrology removes one preventable source of ambiguity.

Good To Know:
1.) DARPA MARRS explicitly targets fusion-rate amplification in solids
DARPA’s Mechanisms for Amplification of fusion Reaction Rates in Solids (MARRS) program deserves substantially more attention from the LENR/CMNS community.
DARPA says the program is investigating theoretical predictions and experimental evidence suggesting unexpectedly high fusion rates in relatively low-temperature solids, below roughly 2,000 K.
DARPA explicitly states that recent reported rates can be approximately 10¹⁸ above earlier bare-nucleus predictions, while emphasizing that they remain very low in absolute terms.
The program’s stated priorities include establishing quantitative models, understanding fundamental amplification mechanisms and determining whether fusion rates in solids can be progressively increased.
The DARPA program presentation identifies several important variables:
Ue → electron screening
N → deuterium loading
v → deuterium velocity
while emphasizing the interplay between nuclear, quantum and materials science.
DARPA goes further and states that, if successful, solid-state fusion could eventually support small-footprint kilowatt- or megawatt-scale distributed/mobile power generation.
It also explicitly says that determining whether there is a genuine scalable phenomenon is important to national security.

2.) Czerski group to present thermal D-D fusion measurements in metals
At the Zakopane 2026 Conference on Nuclear Physics, researchers from the University of Szczecin and collaborators will present:
Enhanced Thermal DD Fusion Rates in Metals Induced by Molecular Deuterium Beam
The group reports measurements of the:
²H(d,p)³H
reaction in palladium using D₁⁺, D₂⁺ and D₃⁺ beams from 20 keV down to 3.5 keV.
Their abstract reports:
- a nearly energy-independent low-energy yield plateau below approximately 5 keV;
- separate direct beam-target and low-energy components;
- similar behavior in PdTi and NiBe targets;
- a D₃⁺ plateau yield approximately 1.5 times that of D₂⁺;
- interpretations involving electron screening, deuterium diffusion, electron-phonon coupling and a proposed threshold resonance in ⁴He.
This is a conference abstract rather than a new peer-reviewed publication, but it is extremely relevant to the emerging discussion of nuclear reactions in metallic environments at very low energies.
Supporting publication: Thermal deuteron-deuteron fusion in metallic targets
The latest ISCMNS newsletter also highlights a closely related May 2026 preprint from Konrad Czerski, Rakesh Dubey, Gokul Haridas Das, Sreelakshmi Thulichery, Agata Kowalska, Natalia Targosz-Sleczka and Mathieu Valat.
The paper reports low-energy D-D measurements in titanium and palladium targets following earlier work in zirconium. The authors report low-energy yield plateaus and interpret them using a model involving thermal fusion within ion tracks, enhanced deuterium diffusion, electron screening and a proposed threshold resonance in ⁴He.
Because the preprint predates August, it is included here as technical background to the new Zakopane presentation rather than as a separate August paper.

5.) From the Archive: ISCMNS resurfaces the 1989 Los Alamos Cold Fusion Workshop videos
The ISCMNS reports that the full video series from the historic Los Alamos National Laboratory Workshop on Cold Fusion has been made available again through YouTube as part of the Society’s archival work.
The May 1989 workshop is an important primary historical record from the earliest months of the cold-fusion controversy. The meeting brought researchers together to discuss calorimetry, neutron and gamma detection, electrochemistry, condensed-matter physics and possible nuclear mechanisms at a time when laboratories around the world were attempting rapid replications of the Fleischmann-Pons claims.
More than three decades later, the recordings provide researchers and historians with direct access to the scientific arguments, measurements and uncertainties being discussed during the field’s formative period.
