Cold Fusion and Nanotechnology – a new opportunity in energy researchThe workshop Nanotechnology and Energy Systems in the upcoming conference Nanotek-2014 provides an opportunity for meeting researchers in the field of cold fusion (LENR)
TORONTO - March 17, 2014 - PRLog -- The advancement in cold fusion (LENR) based on nickel-hydrogen, where the nickel is in a form of nanopowder, brings a new synergy between nanomaterials and energy. This could be a new subfield in the fast expanding field of nanotechnology.
After the pioneering research of Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann reported in 1989, the interest in cold fusion resulted in the creation of a large international LENR community. While the initial research was based primarily on palladium and deuterium, the output results were quite modest and controversial. The situation significantly changed when the focus was shifted to another pair of elements – nickel and hydrogen. The experimental results showed a significant increase of output power when the nickel is in a form of nanopowder at a suitable reaction environment. In the last few years significant progress was made by some researchers, who demonstrated an output heat power in the range of kilowatts at coefficient of performance greater than three [http://arxiv.org/ The new phenomenon raised the attention of some academic groups who initiated periodical meetings, for example, The 2014 Cold Fusion [LANR] Colloquium at MIT: http://coldfusionnow.org/ The succsss in the experimental field provoked a new theoretical approach with the intention to provide useful practical recomendations: OMICS Group’s 4th International Conference on Nanotek & Expo will be held during December 01-03, 2014, San Francisco, USA with a theme ‘Challenging Aspects and Frontiers in Nanoscience & Nanotechnology’ End
