Is There Anything Left in the Dream of Cold Fusion?

Quanta Magazine examines whether anything remains viable in the long-discredited idea of cold fusion, the claim that nuclear fusion could occur at room temperature. The piece revisits the field's collapse after the 1989 Fleischmann-Pons controversy and looks at what, if anything, current research still draws from it. Discussion centres on whether mainstream science should give the idea another look or leave it behind.

Why now: Renewed curiosity about whether fringe energy research like cold fusion deserves re-examination amid today's fusion energy advances.
