Why is cold fusion considered bogus? - Physics Stack Exchange In the past, after Fleischmann and Pons announced their cold fusion results, in perfectly good faith, they were proven wrong by subsequent experiments What are the experimental realities that make Fleischmann and Pons style cold fusions experiments easy to get wrong? Would the same risks apply to this new set up?
physical chemistry - Widom-Larsen Theory - Physics Stack Exchange The renaming is simply an attempt by Cold Fusion folks to politically distance themselves from Pons and Fleischmann, and people have a name for distancing the original discoverers--- it's called "plagiarism"
Is there any reproducible tested evidence for Ni-H cold fusion? Palladium Deuterium cold-fusion certainly exists, as tritium was detected by Pons Fleischmann at Utah, at Bhabha, at Texas A M by two independent groups (Wolf and Bocris) and also at Los Alamos (but the fellow was not allowed to publish)
Potential energy for different states - Physics Stack Exchange While studying thermal physics at school, I have been taught that solids simply have more potential energy than the liquids and gases Note that it was said that this potential energy is due to the
What is a phase space? - Physics Stack Exchange What is a phase space? And can the phase space be specified with x and y instead of with theta and omega? I am currently working on a problem where I am graphing the trajectories of three masses (the
Tour - Physics Stack Exchange Physics Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for active researchers, academics and students of physics and astronomy It's built and run by you as part of the Stack Exchange network of Q A sites With your help, we're working together to build a library of detailed answers to every question about physics, astronomy and astrophysics
Is tension a conservative force? - Physics Stack Exchange First, the definition of conservative force is not "a force that does no work" Second, you can always make your system large enough so that total mechanical energy is conserved for the system, so this cannot determine whether forces are conservative or not either Internal vs external is a subjective distinction, whereas conservative vs nonconservative is an objective distinction Finally
Why does medium not affect the frequency of sound? All that said, there are physical processes that can change the frequency of sound, or at least introduce some new frequencies For example, there are materials that can interact with a sound wave and change its shape, distorting it so that an originally pure single-frequency sound wave acquires overtones at higher frequencies These are not, however, the same kinds of continuous shifts as you
Relation between resistance, capacitance and resistivity The reason for the analogy between electrostatic in a dielectric medium and stationary current behavior in a resistive medium, both being isotropic and piece-wise homogeneous is that they follow the same mathematical partial differential equations and boundary conditions For electrostatics you can start with $\mathbf D = \epsilon \mathbf E$ and $$\nabla \times \mathbf E = 0\tag {1a
