Hacking the Atom: Explorations in Nuclear Research

Scientific evidence, experimental and theoretical, sheds new light on physics and chemistry and reveals how changes to atomic nuclei can occur with low-energy methods. For a century, this has been considered impossible. The book reveals that 100 years of chemistry and physics is not wrong, but incomplete, and that there is something new and exciting in the physical sciences.

Written for a general audience, this book reveals the hidden story of what was initially and erroneously called "cold fusion." Low-energy nuclear reactions (LENRs) are not fusion or fission but a new, third type of nuclear phenomenon. The book explains why Robert Park, the former spokesman of the American Physical Society, concedes that LENRs are real, reversing his longstanding opposition to the research. Krivit's conversations about LENRs with Richard Garwin, who played a key role in the development of the first hydrogen bomb, are also illuminating.
