Abstract
In the last few decades, several scientific papers have reported experimental evidence of anomalous nuclear reactions occurring in condensed matter during electrolytic phenomena or mechanical instabilities such as fracture (in solids) and cavitation (in liquids). Despite the numerous research activities carried out in the field of so-called “Cold Nuclear Fusion”, this phenomenon remains today not fully understood. In recent contributions by the authors, the formation of cracks on the surface of the electrodes used during electrolysis tests, together with chemical composition variations and anomalous sub-atomic particle emissions, were described. A mechanical interpretation of the experimental evidence can be based on low-energy phono-fission reactions, which are a conse- quence of hydrogen embrittlement, microcracking, and THz vibrations. In the present paper, the repeatable results of different laboratory testing programs obtained by means of Pd and Ni are discussed. Preliminary short notes about the energy balance close the paper.
