University adds electrochemical boost in pursuit of cold fusion
Researchers at the University of British Columbia seeking the energy grail of cold fusion—alias lattice confinement fusion or low-energy nuclear reactions (LENR)— used electrochemistry to load extra deuterium ions into a metal lattice and found a “modest” performance boost of 15 percent, compared with experiments without the electrochemical loading technique, according to the university.

Wednesday, May 8, 2024|1:00–2:40PM MDT|Sweeney F
Industry and government leaders will discuss the near- and long-term opportunities and challenges involved with the deployment of space nuclear power and propulsion technologies, both on orbit and on surface. Some of the key questions that will be addressed include: Why consider nuclear technologies for the space economy, and why now? What are specific economic or other benefits nuclear power and/or propulsion technology solutions offer? How might regulatory processes affect technology development and deployment plans? What does industry see as a future path(s) to establishing a sustained business case for these technologies?
