- Condensed Matter Nuclear State Physics (CMNS)
- Solid State Nuclear Reactions, Lattice Enabled
- Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR).

Note that "fusion" is most likely an inaccurate descriptor. While it is probably a nuclear event, such as transmutation, it is most likely not "fusion".

"Cold fusion has been [roughly] reproduced roughly 17,000 times according to an estimate published by the Institute of High Energy Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences." -- Jed Rothwell, LENR-CANR.org, Jan. 19, 2011

    The nuclear reactor in your basement - How would you like to replace your water heater with a nuclear reactor? That’s what Joseph Zawodny, a senior scientist at NASA’s Langley Research Center, hopes to help bring about. It would tap the enormous power of the atom to provide hot water for your bath, warm air for your furnace system, and more than enough electricity to run your house and, of course, your electric car.

    Technology Forecast: Worldwide Research on Low-Energy Nuclear Reactions Increasing and Gaining Acceptance (pdf) - U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency report on cold fusion from November 13, 2009 has been unclassified. "Scientists worldwide have been quietly investigating low-energy nuclear reactions (LENR) for the past 20 years. Researchers in this controversial field are now claiming paradigm-shifting results, including generation of large amounts of excess heat, nuclear activity and transmutation of elements. Although no current theory exists to explain all the reported phenomena, some scientists now believe quantum-level nuclear reactions may be occurring. DIA assesses with high confidence that if LENR can produce nuclear-origin energy at room temperatures, this disruptive technology could revolutionize energy production and storage, since nuclear reactions release millions of times more energy per unit mass than do any known chemical fuel."
