His twin motivations have been an unrelenting curiosity (what if?) and a desire for concrete change (what’s the application ultimately?).

Dr. Benjamin Barrowes: The Thrill of Discovery

Author: Eman Elshaikh
​​For Ben Barrowes, cold fusion was a family affair. He remembers his father,a scientist, coming home and standing in front of the television, enthralled by the news of the cold fusion discovery, so much so that he ignored his family members. His father was convinced it was nuclear, and his excitement showed—and as Barrowes put it, his father wasn’t easily impressed. The enthusiasm was infectious. With AP Physics and AP Calculus under his belt, Barrowes attended the first ICCF as a teenager.

Dr. Edmund Storms: Making the LENR Map

Author: Eman Elshaikh
The scientific spirit came naturally for Storms, who experimented from a young age.
