ICCF-11 The 11th
International Conference on
Condensed Matter Nuclear Science
(Formerly the International
Conference on Cold Fusion)
MARSEILLE,
FRANCE, 14 Oct., 2004 -- The worldwide cold fusion
community, awaiting a conclusion from the U.S. Department
of Energy's review of the field, will convene in France
for its annual conference 31 Oct.
"We are
pleased with the renewed government and public interest in
this field," conference chairman Professor Jean Paul
Biberian said. "Many of the researchers have worked
steadily in the field for the last 15 years. However,
important work remains."
Cold fusion
has the potential to fulfill the world's energy needs,
using ocean water as fuel, safely, without pollution or
harmful nuclear waste.
"Clearly,
the scientific community made a big error when it
determined back in 1989 that there was nothing to the cold
fusion claims," Nobel physics laureate and keynote
speaker Professor Brian Josephson said. "This
potentially very important area must now move forward
rapidly in order to make up for lost time."
Other
conference highlights include a live cold fusion
demonstration and the first annual general meeting of the
International Society for Condensed Matter Nuclear
Science.
Last year's
conference in Cambridge, Mass., USA, drew several hundred
researchers from 13 countries. Two researchers
demonstrated working cold fusion experiments.
"The
primary remaining question is whether this phenomenon can
be scaled up to become a commercial energy source,"
Professor David J. Nagel of The George Washington
University said.
For priority
registration, members of the press may send e-mail with
their credentials to conference chairman Jean Paul
Biberian at biberian@crmcn.univ-mrs.fr.
