Today's featured articleCold fusion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_fusion) is the name for a nuclear fusion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_fusion) reaction that occurs well below the temperature required for thermonuclear (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermonuclear) reactions — such reactions may occur near room temperature (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_temperature) and atmospheric pressure (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_pressure), and even in a relatively small experiment. The term was coined by Dr. Paul Palmer of Brigham Young University (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brigham_Young_University) in 1986 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1986) in an investigation of the possible existence of fusion in a planetary core (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetary_core). It was brought into popular consciousness by the controversy surrounding the Fleischmann-Pons experiment in 1989 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989). Unfortunately, no "cold" fusion experiments that gave an otherwise unexplainable net release of energy have so far been reproducible. |
