This site features a library of papers on LENR, Low Energy Nuclear Reactions, also known as Cold Fusion. (CANR, Chemically Assisted Nuclear Reactions is another term for this phenomenon.) The library includes more than 2,300 original scientific papers reprinted with permission from the authors and publishers. The papers are linked to a bibliography of over 4,700 journal papers, news articles and books about LENR. Here is a shortcut to this website: LENR.org

This website includes:

• The Introduction to LENR-CANR, and a list of books, videos and links to other sites about LENR.
• News about LENR.
• A look at experiments: photographs of laboratories and equipment.
• Special collections include papers from ICCF conferences, the 2004 DoE review, the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) and U.S. Navy authors.
• The LIBRARY is a collection of full-text papers and books integrated with our bibliography.

For the general reader

This website provides scholars with papers and primary source material in easily accessible form. Here are some popular papers for the general reader:
