Cold Fusion with Nanotech?

Posted by Hemos on from the rock-out dept.

According to reports from The Foresight Institute scientists at UC-Berkley have got cold fusion working using a hereto unknown aspect of nanotechnology. Further updates as more reports come in. I always knew nanotech was the ticket.

    Just imagine: cold fusion, nano technology, holography and computers...

    Cold fusion provides the power, the nano tech provides the cold fusion capabality and the solidity of the objects, the holography the looks of the objects and the computers the interactivity...

    Man, I love this world.

    Chase the dream, not the competition.

    That's why cryofusion is much better--fusion performed at extremely low temperatures (billionth Kelvin or so). Granted, it takes some pretty fancy laser cooling to achieve that, but having the dihydrogen mass in a solid makes it *so* much easier to handle (not to mention useful for cooling down your PII). Basically it uses the burst of protons streaming forth from the hydrogen to induce an eletric current.
