[This is the first of a four-part series.]

After a decade-long absence from low-energy nuclear reaction research, the Electric Power Research Institute in Palo Alto, Calif., has sponsored work in the field. Recent LENR work by researchers at Toyota Central Research and Development Laboratories in Nagakute, Aichi, Japan, shows that Toyota also is seriously interested in the field. Another Toyota subsidiary, Technova, has sponsored recent LENR research in Japan.

EPRI is an independent research company that provides technology, policy and economic analyses to its members. EPRI’s corporate members include companies that produce 90 percent of the electricity generated and delivered in the United States; EPRI also has members in 40 countries. Continue reading »

After today, most of our feature articles and exclusive news content will be available to subscribers only. You will be able to read the first paragraph or two of all articles, but then the articles for subscribers will display a lock icon and a login prompt. Once you log in, the full article will become visible. Every month, or sooner if major news occurs, we will send you an e-mail with a list of the latest New Energy Times headlines and links to the full articles. We now provide Twitter service for instant notification of all New Energy Times news stories. Continue reading »

Nature Magazine Publishes Obituary on Fleischmann

Sept. 6, 2012 — by Philip Ball —

The following obituary appeared in Nature on September 6, 2012. Click the link below to read the entire obituary on Nature’s website.

Although a final reckoning should not let genuine achievements be overshadowed by errors, the blot that cold fusion left on Martin Fleischmann’s reputation is hard to expunge.

Fleischmann, who died on 3 August at the age of 85 after illness related to Parkinson’s disease, heart disease and diabetes, was the first to observe enhanced Raman emission from molecules at surfaces, now the basis of a spectroscopy technique. And he developed ultramicroelectrodes, used as sensitive electrochemical probes.

Nonetheless, he is best known for his claim in 1989 to have initiated nuclear fusion in bench-top apparatus. The ‘cold fusion’ debacle provoked bitter disputes that reverberate today. Along with polywater and homeopathy, cold fusion is now regarded as one of the most notorious cases of what chemist Irving Langmuir called pathological science: “the science of things that aren’t so”.
