Good overview. Absolutely Not Cold Fusion. Nobody can explain why just yet, but it seems that something called a Thermal Energy Cell is able to produce heat energy "hundreds of times" in excess of the electrical energy which is supplied to it. Scientists investigating the device are perplexed but skeptical about the claims. Call it an "electrolytic anomaly", or a "previously unrecognized" source of energy, but whatever you do, don't call it Cold Fusion.

That's a story title - sans story - that has been in the back of my head for a decade or so now. It's a relief to find a place for it. Feel free to tell me what it means, and what you think of this eclectic collection. I track a handful of developing science news stories more or less continuously. I write notes and reading lists for courses I'd like to teach, essays on whatever's at hand, from hard science to music to fiber arts to kafkaesque turns in current events, and short fiction. Science fiction is a particular interest, as are essays on multiple topics (Loren Eiseley, David Sedaris, Molly Ivins, P.J. O'Rourke, and Calvin Trillin all occupy the same bookshelf - go figure.) To start, I'll store a few older completed pieces, but most will require that I (as Ursula LeGuin put it) "...apply the seat of the pants to the seat of the chair [and write]." Of course, she's the same person who said, "...Ready to begin? Of course you are. It's the middle that sends the writer running from the typewriter." Nusuth. No matter. Get started. 6:39:16 AM  comment []  Trackback []
