    THE SCIENCE OF LOW ENERGY NUCLEAR REACTION
    A Comprehensive Compilation of Evidence and Explanations about Cold Fusion

    by Edmund Storms (retired from Los Alamos National Laboratory, USA)

    Table of Contents (61k)
    Preface (543k)
    Chapter 1: Introduction (970k)



    One of the most important discoveries of this century — cold fusion — was summarily rejected by science and the media before sufficient evidence had been accumulated to make a rational judgment possible. Enough evidence is now available to show that this rejection was wrong and that the discovery of a new source of clean energy may help solve some serious problems currently facing mankind. The book catalogues and evaluates this evidence and shows why the initial reaction was driven more by self-interest than fact. This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the history and science behind the cold fusion controversy. In addition to the technological importance of the effect, the discovery of new ways to initiate nuclear reactions without producing significant radiation reveals an entirely new mechanism operating at the nuclear level in solid material. This new mechanism has important implications for an understanding of many other phenomena.

    “Storms' book certainly is recommended reading, for both skeptics and proponents.”
