Physicists Say They Know How Cold Fusion Works

Nuclear fusion reactors require massive amounts of heat and pressure to re-create conditions similar to those at the center of the Sun. Cold fusion (sometimes called “Low Energy Nuclear Reactions”) is the idea that we could make nuclear fusion work instead at much lower energy within certain materials, typically palladium. This research area has been plagued by fraud, hype, and just bad science. But now, a group of physicists say they've figured out the theory for how it works.
