Dogged by controversy, the idea of bubble fusion needed a boost - and in January this year it seemed to get it. Nuclear engineer Rusi Taleyarkhan, who originally reported the phenomenon in 2002, ...

A technique that some scientists claim generates thermonuclear fusion in a benchtop apparatus works even without its controversial neutron trigger. So say the researchers who, since 2002, have ...

The words "cold fusion" immediately sprang to mind when it was announced last month that a team of researchers led by Rusi Taleyarkhan of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee was due to ...

fusion is the dream of energy scientists the world over, because it promises limitless, clean electricity. Most efforts to kickstart the process use high-intensity lasers, insane magnetic fields and ...

Data claimed in January to be evidence for bubble fusion are actually a much better match for the radioactive decay of a standard lab source - by a factor of more than 100 million. That is the key ...

Physicists at Purdue University in Indiana claim to have found new evidence for nuclear fusion in a tabletop device. Yiban Xu and Adam Butt say that firing sound waves into a beaker of deuterated ...

Bubble fusion is the theory that nuclear fusion can be induced by rapidly collapsing bubbles in certain fluids. According to a new investigative report [by New Energy Times, Steven B. Krivit] into Oak ...

TROY, NY – Physical Review E has announced the publication of an article by a team of researchers from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), Purdue University, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), ...

Cold fusion eventually became the laughingstock of physics. With that scientific history in mind, skeptics of bubble fusion began criticizing the 2002 paper even before it was published. Later, in an ...
