Solid-State Fusion (SSF)

The case for Solid-State Fusion (SSF)

Richard Feynman was right. There is plenty room at the bottom and the quantum revolution has only begun. From transistors to superconducting materials, scientists have only begun to understand the behavior of matter at the nanometer level where quantum effects dominate. Can these properties be used to enable Solid-State Fusion (SSF), a phenomena that is also referred to as cold fusion or low energy nuclear reactions (LENR)?

Scientists from the US, EU, Japan, India, and China have independently observed the production of excess heat when nano-materials, made of metallic composites, react with hydrogen isotopes and controlled heat. While a consistent theory to explain this phenomenon has yet to be proposed, the coherent or collective effects at the quantum level are thought to enable reaction pathways that are not explained with nuclear science.

According to government funded studies in Japan, SSF is estimated to be four orders of magnitude higher than the equivalent chemical reaction per unit of hydrogen atom. No radioactive materials or radiation are produced. Unlike fusion reactors that require 100s of millions of degrees, SSF occurs at less than 1000 degrees.

Concurrent developments in hydrogen energy systems, metallurgy, nano materials, quantum science, and semiconductor manufacturing are enabling SSF to move forward.

Since 2015, government agencies in Japan, EU, and the US have funded public R&D programs in SSF.
