Albert Cau is a French independent researcher known for running the "Albert Cau Laboratory," a self-financed laboratory dedicated to the scientific study of alchemy, and for a claimed low-temperature nuclear process he calls "Soft Fusion Technology." They are listed in The Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists.
Work
Through his laboratory website, Cau presents a self-funded research program that seeks to interpret traditional alchemy using modern scientific tools and data. His stated topics include the synthesis of super-heavy elements, transmutation, and low-energy ("soft") nuclear fusion. He argues that institutional science has wrongly refused to treat alchemy as a legitimate object of study, and he publishes opinion essays, experimental notes, and software on the site. These claims lie well outside mainstream chemistry and nuclear physics, placing his work in the "new energy" and cold-fusion milieu for which de Climont lists him.
