Scientist Creates Cold Fusion For the First Time In Decades - Image 1Almost two decades ago, a group of scientists presented a report of the existence of cold fusion. The report was bogged down in controversy and ever since then, cold fusion has mostly been looked upon with skepticism. Cold fusion's promise of cheap and efficient energy became a dream for many. Now, a retired physics professor claims that he has found the secret to cold fusion. Is this the real thing, or just another dead end?

Methanol Fuel Cell - Image 1Methanol fuel cells have been found to be an efficient and sustainable replacement for fossil fuels. The one thing preventing this device from hitting the mass market is its price since these devices need a catalyst made of platinum, a very expensive metal. However, a researcher from the University of Basque Country may have just the solution to drive the cost down. To find out more, head on over to the full article.
