By definition, Cold fusion is a nuclear fusion reaction that takes place at or near room temperature and normal pressure instead of the millions of degrees required for plasma fusion reactions.
Cold fusion is generally used to refer to "condensed matter nuclear science" (CMNS) or "low energy nuclear reactions" (LENR). Such cold fusion was initially reported by Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons at the University of Utah in March of 1989. Because it was presented as a new practical source of energy, this announcement was front-page news for some time, and generated a strong controversy, but the debate abated quickly and CMNS was rejected by the mainstream scientific community."DOE Warms to Cold Fusion", Physics Today, April 2004 * Some CMNS researchers say that they have been shunned by the scientific establishment.
Many scientists with a variety of credentials have contributed to the field or participated to the International Conferences on Cold Fusion. Many have reported the generation of excess heat, the detection of nuclear transmutations, tritium, and helium at low temperature with a variety of methods.Mizuno, T., "Nuclear Transmutation: The Reality of Cold Fusion". 1998, Concord, NH: Infinite Energy PressBeaudette, Charles.
