However, an increasing number of studies are now proposing that the reaction could be triggered more easily through a mechanism involving muons\u2014elementary particles with the same charge as electrons, but with around 200 times their mass. Through a study published in EPJ D, researchers led by Francisco Caruso at the Brazilian Centre for Physical Research have shown theoretically how this process would unfold within 2-D systems, without any need for approximations.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2020-12-characterising-cold-fusion-d.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Characterising cold fusion in 2-D models<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Progress towards &#8216;cold fusion,&#8217; where nuclear fusion can occur at close to room temperatures, has now been at a standstill for decades.
