冷核聚变

冷核融合（英語：）是指理论上在接近常温（1000K以下）、常压和相对简单的设备条件下发生核聚变反应。核聚变反应中，多个轻原子核被强行聚合形成一个重原子核，并伴随能量释放。

馬丁·弗萊許曼實驗裝置

冷核融合是現在所用更正式名稱——「低能量核反應」（）——的通俗名稱，隸屬於凝態物質核科學（condensed matter nuclear science, CMNS）的範疇。

歷史

冷核融合為大眾所週知起因於1989年3月「弗萊許曼-龐斯實驗」的爭議性——由科學家馬丁·弗萊許曼（Martin Fleischmann）與史坦利·龐斯（Stanley Pons）所進行。當時有許多科學家努力重複該實驗，卻發現無法再現一樣的結果[1]。人们对冷聚变最大的责难集中在其实验的低重复性和核反应产物不匹配两点上。[2]

2008年，日本大阪大學物理學教授荒田吉明宣稱完成第一次成功冷融合示範。在實驗中，荒田吉明使氘進入一個包含鈀與鋯氧化物之混合物中，在這種稠密的狀態下，來自於不同原子的氘原子核融合產生氦原子核。

2011年，義大利波隆納大學（University of Bologna）物理系的科學家安卓·羅西（Andrea Rossi）與Sergio Focardi宣布已成功利用能源催化劑（（Energy Catalyzer ）引發冷核融合反應，但尚未普遍得到其他科學家證實。
