LENR (Low Energy Nuclear Reactions)

Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR), also known as cold fusion, refer to a process where nuclear reactions occur at relatively low temperatures, unlike traditional nuclear power that requires extremely high heat. In LENR, atoms—often hydrogen or its isotopes—are theorized to interact with a metal lattice (like nickel or palladium), leading to nuclear events that produce energy without the high radiation typically associated with nuclear reactions. While some experimental results suggest excess heat and nuclear byproducts, LENR remains controversial and not fully accepted by the mainstream scientific community due to challenges in reproducibility and understanding the underlying mechanisms.
