Technical Note on Cold Fusion | doi.org/10.13182/FST92-A30111
Articles are hosted by Taylor and Francis Online.
A previous technical note suggests that cold fusion is a small-scale simulation of events that occur in cold stars faraway in the universe. Therefore, it is expected that tiny black holes might be produced during cold fusion. A search for tiny black holes whose traces might have been recorded on nuclear emulsions is described. Several traces suggesting the production and evaporation of tiny black holes have been successfully observed.
