Cold fusion is a hypothesized type of nuclear reaction that would occur at or near room temperature. 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 (this meaning is used 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 (2001 film), a documentary film about skiing and snowboarding by Warren Miller Cold Fusion (2011 film), a sci-fi film starring Adrian Paul and William Hope In computing Adobe ColdFusion, application server and development framework for computer software ColdFusion Markup Language, CFML, scripting programming language for the Adobe server See also Cold contact (disambiguation) Cold joint Cold junction (disambiguation) Cold welding Fusion (disambiguation)
