LENRs
Low-Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENRs) are a new area of scientific research that may lead to a new source of carbon-free nuclear energy and significant materials science technologies. Laboratory research indicates that LENRs do not produce radioactive waste or dangerous levels of radiation. Experiments have already demonstrated the production of net energy. Abundant fuel could come from the hydrogen in plain water and the metal nickel. Despite such promise, progress has been slow because of its troubled history.
ORIGIN
The research was originally and incorrectly identified as "cold fusion." Intense conflicts, confusion, and human drama took place during the field's introduction in 1989. As a result, the research fell into disrepute nearly as quickly as it generated its initial spectacular level of public interest and hope. The field and its researchers were condemned as pathological scientists and banished from mainstream science. Angry science authorities declared that the topic was "dead, and it will remain dead for a long, long time." Thanks to the persistence of a few hundred researchers worldwide, the field did not die.
KRIVIT
A decade later, Steven B. Krivit, then a computer networking systems engineer, serendipitously picked up the trail. He had been preceded by Eugene Mallove (1947-2004), founder of Infinite Energy magazine, and author Charles Beaudette (1930-2014). Using independent, online media as his primary communication platform, and the practices of investigative journalism, Krivit founded New Energy Times to support understanding and recognition of the new science. Communications projects have since expanded to include books, public lectures, and journal articles.
SITE
Since 2000, our site has been the trusted resource for independent, accurate, and scientific information about LENRs. We are and have always been financially independent of any commercial or investment activities in the LENR field. The hierarchical links listed below will take readers to more than 700 Web pages and 2,000 PDF reference/archival documents. Links also bring viewers to Archive.org, where we have also preserved and deposited additional archival collections.
