Cold fusion (disambiguation)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cold fusion is a hypothesized type of nuclear reaction that would occur at or near room temperature.

Cold fusion may also refer to:

In science

[edit]
  • Muon-catalyzed fusion, before Fleischmann and Pons, was sometimes called cold fusion
  • Pyroelectric fusion, first achieved in 2005, uses a pyroelectric crystal to accelerate ions to fusion energies with room temperature equipment
  • Polywell fusion, uses inertial electrostatic confinement to attract and confine ions so densely that they fuse
  • Nuclear fusion where the product nuclei have a relatively low excitation energy of around 10 to 20 MeV (this meaning is used mostly in the field of the synthesis of superheavy elements)

In culture
