Researchers at a US Navy laboratory have unveiled what they say is “significant” evidence of cold fusion, a potential energy source that has many skeptics in the scientific community.<\/p>\n

The scientists on Monday described what they called the first clear visual evidence that low-energy nuclear reaction (LENR), or cold fusion devices can produce neutrons, subatomic particles that scientists say are indicative of nuclear reactions. “Our finding is very significant,” said analytical chemist Pamela Mosier-Boss of the US Navy’s Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center (SPAWAR) in San Diego, California. <\/p>\n

“To our knowledge, this is the first scientific report of the production of highly energetic neutrons from a LENR device,” added the study’s co-author in a statement.<\/p>\n

The study’s results were presented at the annual meeting of the American Chemical Society in Salt Lake City, Utah.<\/p>\n

The city is also the site of an infamous presentation on cold fusion 20 years ago by Martin Fleishmann and Stanley Pons that sent shockwaves across the world. <\/p>\n

Steven Krivit, editor of the New Energy Times, said the study was “big” and could open a new scientific field.<\/p>\n

The neutrons produced in the experiments “may not be caused by fusion but perhaps some new, unknown nuclear process,” added Krivit, who has monitored cold fusion studies for the past 20 years.<\/p>\n

“We’re talking about a new field of science that’s a hybrid between chemistry and physics.” <\/p>\n
