New Energy Times has obtained additional papers from authors attending the 17th International Conference on Cold Fusion in Daejeon, Korea.

New Energy Times has requested conference papers from the other authors as well as from the conference organizers.

I spoke with Frank Gordon, the co-chair of the ICCF-17 conference, earlier this week and asked him about forthcoming highlights. Continue reading »
