At a first meeting with Rossi at the end of February they were given access to a sample of the pure nickel powder, intended for use in the energy catalyzer, and another sample of nickel powder which, according to Rossi, had been used in the reactor for 2.5 months.

Their analyses showed that the pure powder consists of essentially pure nickel, while the used powder contains several other substances, mainly 10 percent copper and 11 percent iron.

"Provided that copper is not one of the additives used as catalyst, the copper isotopes 63 and 65 can only have been formed during the process. Their presence is therefore a proof that nuclear reactions took place in the process," Kullander said (see further details below).

Exciting stuff. Seems the claims of cold fusion the Italians had wasn't a hoax.

Damn... Saw "NyTeknik" and thought there were Danish researchers involved, but then it turned out to be Swedish...

I'll wait until the peer review...

I really hope they did it.

This. There have been tons of claims in the past about cold fusion. I'll wait until the scientific community accepts it before I get all excited.

Sounds more like Alchemy than Cold Fusion.

First things I thought of when I saw cold fusion were cold cathodes, nuclear fusion, liquid nitrogen, and dry ice (solid carbon dioxide ice cubes).

At least this seemingly passed another step and is closer to being proven. Only time will tell, though, as the scientific peer review process may prove this to be shenanigans.

You lot do know that there have been THOUSANDS of free energy devices made but EVERY SINGLE ONE gets brought off buy the oil company's to suppress it, same will happen to this.

Free energy eh? I think thermodynamics disproves that, and cold fusion isn't free, it's a nuclear reaction. And if I made a free energy device, I just wouldn't sell it to them

But alchemy IS science. Think of all the gold they produce.

I was about to say the same thing. The fact that you have an almost equal amount of fe and cu means that a transfer occurred somehow, but I thought fusion had to be the combining of two whole nuclei?

Thousands you say? Guess it shouldn't be too hard to make my own then.

Any step forward is a step in the right direction. When/if we master cold fusion, we really could tremendously reduce reliance on fossil fuels. We can never be completely free of them due to plastics, but if we stop using oil as a power source and only as a resource for production, it's useful lifespan would be immensely multiplied.

fail, they don't work, even Mythbusters tested them

I dont know what makes you so dumb, but it works.
