Dr. Mike McKubre Mini Documentary
The team at Solid State Fusion have released a mini documentary on the life and legacy of Dr. Mike McKubre. Dr. Michael McKubre, a brilliant electrochemist and lifelong experimentalist in low energy nuclear reactions (LENR), passed away in August 2025 after a battle with cancer. A beloved scientist, mentor, and friend, he was known for his unwavering curiosity and integrity. As the former Director of the Energy Research Center at SRI International, Dr. McKubre shaped our collective understanding of LENR through decades of patient, careful experimentation and thoughtful inquiry. Colleagues remember him not only as a sharp mind and talented…

“Experimental Signatures of a New Channel of the Deuteron-Deuteron Reaction at Very Low Energy” Dubey et al. Published in Physical Review X
A new paper in Physical Review X reports on experimental observations of a new D-D fusion reaction channel at very low energies. Importantly, this new channel helps to explain the lack of conventional branching ratios observed in many condensed matter nuclear science experiments. Our congratulations to Dr. Rakesh Dubey and his colleagues at Uniwersytet Szczeciński and the Maritime University of Szczecin. Read the paper Abstract: The discovery of a new, 𝑒+𝑒− reaction channel in deuteron-deuteron (DD) fusion at very low energies might have major implications for understanding primordial and stellar nucleosynthesis, where electron-positron reaction channels are typically not considered. It could…
