Cold fusion (disambiguation) explained
Cold fusion is a hypothesized type of nuclear reaction that would occur at or near room temperature.
Cold fusion may also refer to:
In science
- Muon-catalyzed fusion, before Fleischmann and Pons, was sometimes called cold fusion
- Pyroelectric fusion, first achieved in 2005, uses a pyroelectric crystal to accelerate ions to fusion energies with room temperature equipment
- Polywell fusion, uses inertial electrostatic confinement to attract and confine ions so densely that they fuse
- Nuclear fusion where the product nuclei have a relatively low excitation energy of around 10 to 20 MeV (this meaning is used mostly in the field of the synthesis of superheavy elements)
In culture
- Cold Fusion (novel), 1996 novel by Lance Parkin, based on the sci-fi TV series Doctor Who
- "Cold Fusion" (The Twilight Zone), an episode of the 2002 TV series
- Cold Fusion (2001 film), a documentary film about skiing and snowboarding by Warren Miller
- Cold Fusion (2011 film), a sci-fi film starring Adrian Paul and William Hope
