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. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Cold fusion.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh91000926 650 0 Cold fusion|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh91000926|xResearch|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2002006576|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99005024 650 7 Cold fusion.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/866994 650 7 Cold fusion|xResearch.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast /866997 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aStorms, Edmund.|tScience of low energy nuclear reaction.|dSingapore : World Scientific, ©2007 |z9812706208|w(DLC) 2007299372|w(OCoLC)187300588 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=518603|zOnline eBook.
