Then maybe her piece should have said so - rather than going on to smear the whole concept of LENR.And is there really an excuse for the ending? Has she now become too afraid to talk about the "good work"?The benefits of cold fusion are obvious to everyone...

Ed, in light of Popperian philosophy, what is your null hypothesis and what data you have to falsify the Null? How many replicates? How many outside labs have repeated the results? Sorry if you have discussed this elsewhere as I visit this site rarely.I ha...

Suffice to say, Sabine is aware that good work is being done in this space.Then maybe her piece should have said so - rather than going on to smear the whole concept of LENR.And is there really an excuse for the ending? Has she now become too afraid to ta...

The papers referenced above talk that EM field ( so your electrons) is able to deform the coulomb barrier, becoming anisotropic. So that helps to lower the reaction threshold.Yes, good to know. We also know from the hot fusion studies that the electrons c...

Yes, in the former time.. Now how you could explain that only 8.367 eV destabilize the thorium 229 nucleus ? Researchers embedded Thorium-229 inside a CaF₂ ionic insulating crystal and excited its unusually low-energy nuclear isomer (~8 eV) using resonan...

The explanation determines the kind of data that is sought and obtained. For example, McKubre et al. believe the D/Pd ratio is important. Consequently, they work hard to design materials and methods that could produce a large D/Pd ratio. In contrast, I be...

I don't have the hubris to think that anything other than an open discussions and further experiments will improve funding to "LENR" or improve its public image.Sabrina is not unreasonable or incompetent. However, the story of "metal lattice cold fusion" a...

Agree in nature and reality but in academia the line is clear: a chemist can only go so far in explaining a phenomena until it is the physcisist turn to explain. Or the material scientist. 100 years ago science was not hard divided and we got the integrate...

That is a mechanical reaction, isn't it? The egg shell, yolk and white are not chemically changed. They change when you heat them.The local regions where the break occures experience a chemical reaction because the bonds between the atoms was changed, whi...

The dividing line between chemical and nuclear reactions is not as clearcut as people think.Agree in nature and reality but in academia the line is clear: a chemist can only go so far in explaining a phenomena until it is the physcisist turn to explain. Or...

At least give us credit for calling out Rossi for what he is. There have been a few others over the years we did the same for. If they are clearly obvious we do act on it. Not so much coming out and pointing an accusatory finger (although that has been do...

That is true, and it is important. However, as I pointed out in another thread, a low energy process can trigger another, and another, until a nuclear reaction occurs. The example I gave was a eV level chemical explosion triggering a mechanical implosion o...

The problem is that there is a lot of not-so-good work and, much more consequentially, a lot of people who constantly make outrageous, unsubstantiated, splashy, commercial claims, and attract a lot of attention doing so.At least give us credit for calling...

This video is a masterclass in how damaging spurious claims from dubious companies are to this field, especially in the age of an attention economy that thrives on hyperbole and reduction.It will never cease to amaze me how people in this field fail to und...
