It is uncertain which Cold Fusion tutorial came first. One of the first ones, however, would be online at the After Hours Program site which gives you a very detailed response.

Why is the cold fusion theory controversial?

The cold fusion theory is controversial because it proposes a way to generate energy by fusing atoms at room temperature, contradicting traditional fusion theory. Many scientists are skeptical of cold fusion due to the lack of consistent, reproducible experimental results and the failure to explain the underlying mechanism adequately. The initial claim of cold fusion in 1989 was met with skepticism and debate in the scientific community, contributing to its controversial status.


What is the difference between hot nuclear fusion and cold nuclear fusion?

"Hot" nuclear fusion (this is not the term normally used) is exactly what the name implies, the materials are heated, which provides them with enough energy to overcome the normal repulsion of protons. Cold nuclear fusion requires no heating and has not yet been proved, although dozens of Physicists and Electro-Chemists have claimed to have created cold fusion. Cold Fusion relies on other forces, such as pressure, to overcome the electrostatic force of repulsion.


Is sustained nuclear fusion possible?

It hasn't been achieved yet, and it seems doubtful that it is possible. You may want to read the Wikipedia article on cold fusion to get a more detailed overview. To summarize it: the muon-catalyzed kind definitely is possible and is routinely done by researchers in the field - the problem is that it requires more energy to generate the muons than you can get out of the fusion. The Fleischmann and Pons kind appears to have been poor laboratory technique (I'm being charitable here, and not suggesting that it was deliberate fraud).


What happened to the group to a group that scientistswho claimed they had achieved cold fusion even though they had not?

The group of scientists who claimed they had achieved cold fusion was discredited and their results could not be replicated by other researchers. This incident damaged their reputation in the scientific community and their claims were dismissed as not being credible.


Stars can form most easily in clouds that are?

Cold, dense, and massive. These conditions allow gravity to overcome internal pressure and initiate the process of nuclear fusion, leading to the formation of a star.

What is the cold fusion?

"Cold fusion" refers to fusion at (or near) room temperature, rather than the millions of degrees that are normally required. This has not been achieved so far - at least, not to any significant degree.

What is the formula for cold fusion?

Cold fusion is a type of nuclear reaction that occurs at or near room temperature, leading to significant energy production. The specific formula for cold fusion is not well understood or documented, as the process is still a subject of ongoing research and debate in the scientific community.

How is cold fusion done?

It is generally thought that reports of cold fusion made in the past were in error, for one reason or another. It seems unlikely from theory. There is a Wikipedia article if you want to read it.
