Download or read book Science Of Low Energy Nuclear Reaction The A Comprehensive Compilation Of Evidence And Explanations About Cold Fusion written by Edmund Storms and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2007-07-09 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: Scientific evidence, experimental and theoretical, sheds new light on physics and chemistry and reveals how changes to atomic nuclei can occur with low-energy methods. For a century, this has been considered impossible. The book reveals that 100 years of chemistry and physics is not wrong, but incomplete, and that there is something new and exciting in the physical sciences. Written for a general audience, this book reveals the hidden story of what was initially and erroneously called "cold fusion." Low-energy nuclear reactions (LENRs) are not fusion or fission but a new, third type of nuclear phenomenon. The book explains why Robert Park, the former spokesman of the American Physical Society, concedes that LENRs are real, reversing his longstanding opposition to the research. Krivit's conversations about LENRs with Richard Garwin, who played a key role in the development of the first hydrogen bomb, are also illuminating. Hacking the Atom: - Explains the new science of LENRs for scientists and non-scientists alike. - Offers insights about a possible new form of nuclear energy without harmful radiation. - Reveals intense behind-the-scenes human drama and fiery intellectual conflict that inevitably accompanies the pursuit of revolutionary science and technology. - Explains why low-energy nuclear reactions (LENRs) are not "cold fusion." - Shows experimental research that confirms why LENRs are real nuclear reactions. - Provides the first "plain English" explanation of the Widom-Larsen theory. - Demonstrates why the Widom-Larsen theory is viable and consistent with existing physics.

Download or read book Low energy Nuclear Reactions Sourcebook written by Jan Marwan and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a summary of selected experimental and theoretical research performed over the last 19 years that gives profound and unambiguous evidence for low energy nuclear reaction (LENR), historically known as cold fusion. In 1989, the subject was announced with great fanfare, to the chagrin of many people in the science community. However, the significant claim of its discoverers, Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons, excess heat without harmful neutron emissions or strong gamma radiation, involving electrochemical cells using heavy water and palladium, has held strong. In recent years, LENR, within the field of condensed matter nuclear science, has begun to attract widespread attention and is regarded as a potential alternative and renewable energy source to confront climate change and energy scarcity. The aim of the research is to collect experimental findings for LENR in order to present reasonable explanations and a conclusive theoretical and practical working model. The goal of the field is directed toward the fabrication of LENR devices with unique commercial potential demonstrating an alternative energy source that does not produce greenhouse gases, long-lived radiation or strong prompt radiation. The idea of LENR has led to endless discussions about the kinetic impossibility of intense nuclear reactions with high coulomb barrier potential. However, recent theoretical work may soon shed light on this mystery. Understanding this process is one of the most challenging and perhaps important issues in the scientific world. This book includes previously unpublished studies, new and controversial theories to approach LENR with access to new sources and experimental results. The book offers insight into this controversial subject and will help readers re-evaluate their perspective on LENR for a possible alternative energy source.
Download or read book New Trends in Nuclear Science written by Nasser Awwad and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2018-12-12 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will hopefully shed light on some of the advances taking place within nuclear science research in recent times. It describes the interesting results of some modern nuclear science research carried out by bright scientists and researchers in different parts of the world. The book is divided into five chapters. The first one is an introductory chapter to explain the nature and purpose of the book and the logic and significance of its contents. The second chapter is a concise introduction to the core subject of nuclear science, which is the nuclear reactions. This chapter also touches on the fundamental and basic physics underlining major nuclear reactions. Chapter three addresses some recent advances related to the famous nuclear detector material namely CdTe. The authors suggest that the modern detector based on CdTe materials can be developed as a multi-element detection platform that allows for the direct conversion of information generated by passing X/y-radiations through an examined object into an array of digital electrical signals without using an intermediate visible image on a fluorescent screen. In chapter four, a new study on the effect of unintended and accidental nuclear impact on the environment is discussed. In the last chapter, Thomas W. Grimshaw; from The University of Texas at Austin, USA; has composed an interesting study on the so-called cold nuclear fusion or the more widely known low energy nuclear reaction (LENR). He, among others, argues that nuclear cold fusion, if realized and understood, could be a significant source of cheap and clean energy. This book will hopefully encourage readers, researchers, and scientists to look further into the frontier topics of modern nuclear science and make the needed efforts to develop its cause and uses.
