In Memory of:
As we approached the home of my uncle, Dr. Melvin H. Miles, in St. George, Utah, my wife and I noticed a small placard at the side of his door that we had never seen anywhere else: “Cold Fusion Is Real.” I was skeptical, based on what I had heard as a young chemical engineer, but wanted to learn. Two hours after we sat with him and asked about his years of research work for the Navy, we would hear that phrase again. After summarizing his findings, he looked me in the eye and said, “Either cold fusion is real, or I’m a liar.” From a good man noted for his frankness and honesty, this was a powerful statement.
That was in early 2025, the first of five interviews I had with him discussing cold fusion….
2.) Obituary | Dennis Meyer Bushnell of Hampton, Virginia | R. Hayden Smith Funeral Home
Dennis Meyer Bushnell, 84, passed away on Monday, October 20, 2025. He was born in New Haven, Connecticut to parents Jordan Lawrence Bushnell and Anna Marie Kaiser Bushnell, and grew up in Westbrook and Old Saybrook. Bushnell obtained his M.E. degree from the University of Connecticut in 1963 and his M.S. degree from the University of Virginia in 1967, both in the field of Mechanical Engineering….

4.) We have covered Prometheus before. They recently reported some exciting progress with their Prometheus Reactor: (8) Post | LinkedIn . The news article shown in the link is in Italian, but forum member “teppo” provided us a translation: https://www.lenr-forum.com/forum/thread/7151-prometheus-energy-italy-claim-lenr-h2-production-system/?postID=216803#post216803
a.) This AI video talks about their “gentle nuclear”, how it may possibly work, and speculate if neutrino’s may be involved: (43) Nuclear: The Italian Third Way – YouTube
b.) Prometheus will be sponsoring the IWAHLM 17th Workshop this coming March 24-26 in Bergamo, Italy at the Kilometro Rosso (details under the “Community Notices”).
“It is also our pleasure to inform you that a special half-day conference called “La Nuova
Energia” is organized by the local company Prometheus on March Monday 23, 2026 afternoon
at the same location. This particular conference will be announced separately by Prometheus.”
5.) Aureon Energy updates their website.
Papers:
1.) Dr. Ed Storms gifted the forum and LENR CANR a very interesting and historically valuable paper. In addition to including a brief self-biography and his dealings with Google/NASA, he takes us through his journey towards understanding the “Cold Fusion operational process”. Culminating in what he hopes will be a guideline for others to follow in achieving commercial applicability: “A METHOD TO PRODUCE PRACTICAL POWER”.
The History of Cold Fusion by Edmund Storms
*Heads up: Don’t stop reading at the acknowledgement. Below that is much more.
2.) Vol 40 of the Journal of Condensed Matter Nuclear Science has been uploaded to LENR-CANR: BiberianJPjcondensedzm.pdf
a.) Carl Page’s “Solid State Fusion” considers one of the Journal papers (Pinnow/Miller) to be of such significance they ran a Press Briefing on it: Solid-State Fusion | Fusion Energy as the Principal Energy Source
In the Media:
2.) The new Grokipedia has a surprisingly objective view of LENR: Cold fusion
3.) The popular French magazine Science & Vie: Europe’s leading magazine for scientific news – Science & Vie published “Fusion Froide, Le Grand Retour” by Anne le Duigou in the Nov Issue. It is behind a paywall, but forum member “SearchMe” provided us a translation: https://www.lenr-forum.com/forum/thread/2-media-news-video-library-no-discussions-please/?postID=216453#post216453
On YouTube/Video
You may recall last month’s newsletter contained Dr. Edmund Storms new paper “The Nature of Transmutations in Cold Fusion”. Bob Greenyer of the MFMP follwed up with this worth watching analysis of that paper and goes on to compare it with Matsumoto’s work:
