Submission declined on 11 March 2026 by StarryGrandma (talk). This is a speculative topic and cannot be considered without review articles providing in-depth coverage independent of the original researchers. Peer-reviewed papers are not enough. You need to show the topic has been accepted by the wider scientific community before there can be an encyclopedia article. Declined by StarryGrandma 4 months ago. |  |
Submission declined on 20 September 2025 by StarryGrandma (talk). Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not Physical Review Letters. We publish articles about well-established topics in the sciences as shown by in-depth coverage independent of the original researchers. Declined by StarryGrandma 10 months ago. | |
Comment: This is a speculative topic and there are no indications that it has been accepted by the wider scientific community. Until there is in-depth and reliably published coverage of the theory and experiments by people entirely independent of the original authors we cannot have an article.

- Comment: This page is not what Wikipedia is for. We only have established material not one groups work particularly when it is not verified. Ldm1954 (talk) 23:01, 15 September 2025 (UTC)

Nuclear metamorphosis is a proposed theoretical framework within the field of Low-energy nuclear reaction (LENR) and condensed matter nuclear science. It postualtes the transmutation of chemical elements through mechanical actions—such as the fracture of solids or cavitation in liquids and porous materials—without the emission of ionizing gamma rays.
The proposal is primarily based on the theory of deformed spacetime (DST), developed by Fabio Cardone and Roberto Mignani, which suggests that local energy density changes can trigger non-conventional nuclear processes.[1]
Scientific debate and reception
[edit]The phenomenon is a subject of ongoing scientific debate. While experimental results reporting neutron emissions and anomalous isotopic shifts have been published in peer-reviewed journals such as Scientific Reports and Applied Physics A,[2] the topic has met with skepticism from the wider physics community. Critics have questioned the reproducibility of the experiments and the theoretical consistency of piezonuclear reactions within standard nuclear models.
Independent reviews in the field of LENR have discussed nuclear metamorphosis as one of several alternative approaches to transmutation in condensed matter.[3] The topic is also covered in the German and French editions of Wikipedia, reflecting international academic interest in the controversy surrounding these non-conventional nuclear effects.
Experimental investigations
[edit]Research groups have explored the possibility of triggering nuclear phenomena through mechanical stresses in various materials.
- Fracture in solids: Research at the University of Cagliari analyzed fracture processes in rocks like granite and basalt under pressure. The authors reported neutron emissions interpreted as evidence of non-conventional nuclear reactions.[4] Similar studies at the Polytechnic University of Turin investigated these emissions as potential earthquake precursors.
- Cavitation in liquids: Studies on heat-exchange systems using cavitation have reported energy excesses not attributable to conventional chemical processes. A study published in Scientific Reports described the production of new isotopes and element transmutation in water, attributing these results to reactions triggered by bubble implosion.[2]
Potential applications
[edit]Based on the Deformed Spacetime theory, the construction of Nuclear Metamorphosis Reactors (RaM) has been proposed for energy production and the deactivation of radioactive waste.[5]
