Cold fusion (aka low-energy nuclear reaction or LENR) is a hypothesized type of nuclear reaction that would occur at or near room temperature, originally put forward by electrochemists Fleischmann and Pons.
Cold fusion may also refer to:
In science
- Muon-catalyzed fusion, before Fleischmann and Pons, was sometimes called cold fusion
- Pyroelectric fusion, first achieved in 2005, uses a pyroelectric crystal to accelerate ions to fusion energies with room temperature equipment
- Polywell fusion, uses inertial electrostatic confinement to attract and confine ions so densely that they fuse
- Nuclear fusion where the product nuclei have a relatively low excitation energy of around 10 to 20 MeV (used with this definition mostly in the field of the synthesis of superheavy elements)
In culture
- Cold Fusion (novel), 1996 novel by Lance Parkin, based on the sci-fi TV series Doctor Who
- Cold Fusion (The Twilight Zone), an episode of the 2002 TV series
- Cold Fusion (2011 Film)
- Cold Fusion, a film about skiing and snowboarding by Warren Miller
In computing
- Adobe ColdFusion, application server and development framework for computer software
- ColdFusion Markup Language, CFML, scripting programming language for the Adobe server
- ColdFusion on Wheels, web application framework
