Scientists in the U.S. and Japan Get Serious About
Low-Energy Nuclear Reactions:
"It’s been a big year for low-energy nuclear reactions. LENRs, as they’re known, are a
fringe research topic that some physicists think could explain the results of an
infamous experiment nearly 30 years ago that formed the basis for the idea of cold
fusion. That idea didn’t hold up, and only a handful of researchers around the world
have continued trying to understand the mysterious nature of the inconsistent, heat-
generating reactions that had spurred those claims.
Their determination may finally pay off, as researchers in Japan have recently
managed to generate heat more consistently from these reactions, and the U.S. Navy
is now paying close attention to the field.
In June, scientists at several Japanese research institutes published a paper in the
International Journal of Hydrogen Energy in which they recorded excess heat after
exposing metal nanoparticles to hydrogen gas. The results are the strongest in a long
line of LENR studies from Japanese institutions like Mitsubishi Heavy Industries."
