HomeWelcome THE ICCF-18CONFERENCE ISHOSTED BY:University ofMissouriWelcome message from General Chair Dr. Robert V.DuncanIt gives me great pleasure to welcome you to this year’s InternationalConference on Condensed Matter Nuclear Science, (ICCF), the 18th meetingof this community. We at the University of Missouri (MU) are delighted to teamwith ENEA and National Instruments to review and explore developments incondensed matter nuclear science. There have been great advances in thisdiscipline over the last five years by research labs and private institutionsaround the world, and this work will be explored at ICCF-18. The NavalResearch Lab (NRL), and many other excellent laboratories have confirmedthat the excess heat effects reported by Fleischmann and Pons are real, and roughly one thousandtimes larger than can be attributed to a chemical process. Other phenomena, such as transmutationand nuclear process of geologic origin, remain at the forefront of current inquiry. There have alsobeen developments and confirmations of nuclear process in other condensed matter systems, andmany of these reports come from outside the traditional ICCF Community. For example, NASA, usingits FERMI gamma burst satellite has confirmed antimatter ejections from major thunderstorms manyhundreds of times. In the past, we have seen the development of pyro-electric hydrogen fusion atUCLA, and the development of piezo-electric hydrogen fusion continues at MU today. Clearly,condensed matter nuclear science is undergoing a renaissance. Join us here at the University ofMissouri as we review the state of our understanding of these systems, and as we apply the scientificmethod to understanding anomalous phenomena that are based upon reproducible empirical reports.Robert V.
