CFP (Cold Fusion Phenomenon)
stands for “nuclear reactions and accompanying events occurring in solids with
high densities of hydrogen isotopes (H and/or D) in ambient radiation.”
This is the CFRL News (in
English) No. 68 for Cold Fusion researchers published by Dr. H. Kozima, now at
the Cold Fusion Research Laboratory, Shizuoka, Japan.
This issue contains following items:

(Synopsis)
In 1989, the discovery of
the now infamous “cold fusion process” was announced at a press conference on
the same day that a scientific paper about the discovery was accepted for
publication in a scientific journal. This discovery was greeted with great
interest across the globe due to its potential application as a greener, more
environmentally friendly energy source, and because such a phenomenon is
impossible according to accepted theory. At the time, the physics and chemistry
of the cold fusion phenomenon were too complicated to be understood based on
current thinking then.
I have engaged in this
field for more than 16 years during which a traditional approach was used to
explain the cold fusion phenomenon, using models, and quantum dynamics in
tandem. The results show elements of the new science of the cold fusion
phenomenon (CFP), where neutrons in solids seem to be a key element in an
interdisciplinary region of traditional solid-state physics, nuclear physics
and nuclear chemistry.
It is also emphasized that
a system in which the CFP occurs should be considered as a complex system where
self-organization and chaos appear if the system is put into an unstable state.
This is a necessary condition for inducing the CFP. In reality, there are many
phases of the CFP suggesting that self-organization and/or chaos do occur.
In this seminar, those
features of the CFP will be explained using experimental data and possible
explanations based on the traditional science of solids and nuclei.
2. The Journal of New Energy No. 7-2
(2007) will be published soon.
Hal Fox, the editor of the
Journal of New Energy, announced recently that a new issue of J. New Energy
No. 7-2 (2007) will appear in a couple of months.
His mail address is

In this issue, following two
papers by the editor of this News will be printed.
1) H. Kozima, “Anomalous
Nuclear Reactions and Atomic Processes in Transition-Metal Hydrides and
Deuterides” J. New Energy 7-2
(2007) (to be published)
2) H. Kozima, “Six Sketches on Complexity and
Wavefunctions in the Cold Fusion Phenomenon” J. New Energy 7-2
(2007) (to be published)
