                        COLD FUSION  

 A Massachusetts Institute of Technology IAP Lecture Program
       January 16, 1993   Saturday 9AM-4PM   Room  6-120 

   Cold fusion is the production of excess power from
 electrochemical cells, typically involving heavy water with
 palladium, or light water with nickel. From these systems and
 from metals in gases, nuclear products and radiation have
 also been reported, such as tritium, neutrons, helium-4, and
 charged particles.  As the literature of cold fusion expands,
 the startling phenomena are of continuing interest to
 experimentalists, theoreticians, inventors, and
 entrepreneurs.  In this day of lectures, discussions, and
 videos, we will focus on the history, science, technology,
 and business of cold fusion.
