Brian Scanlan is an independent energy researcher known for his work on cold fusion, also called low-energy nuclear reactions (LENR), in collaboration with the chemist Edmund Storms. He is listed in The Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists.
Work
Scanlan co-founded Kiva Labs, an independent energy-research company with facilities in New Mexico and Connecticut, where he worked with Edmund Storms investigating claimed excess-heat and nuclear effects in cold fusion experiments. With Storms he co-authored the 2012 paper "What Is Cold Fusion and Why Should You Care?", presented at the 19th Natural Philosophy Alliance conference as the John Chappell Memorial Paper, which reviews the history of the field, the experimental evidence claimed for it, and proposed mechanisms. He has also been a co-author on studies reporting radiation emission from LENR experiments and on models of cluster formation in the LENR process. Cold fusion remains outside the accepted scientific mainstream.
