* ''[[Muon-catalyzed fusion]]:'' This approach replaces [[electron]]s in [[diatomic molecule]]s of [[isotope]]s of [[hydrogen]] with [[muon]]s—more massive particles with the same [[electric charge]]. Their greater mass compresses the nuclei enough such that the [[strong interaction]] can cause fusion.{{sfn|Nagamine|2003}} As of 2007 producing muons required more energy than can be obtained from muon-catalyzed fusion.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Nagamine |first=K. |title=Introductory muon science |date=2007 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |isbn=978-0521038201 |location=Cambridge, England |language=en |oclc=124025585}}</ref>
* ''[[Lattice confinement fusion]]:'' Lattice confinement fusion ('''LCF''') is a type of [[nuclear fusion]] in which [[deuteron]]-saturated metals are exposed to [[gamma radiation]] or ion beams, such as in an [[Inertial electrostatic confinement|IEC fusor]], avoiding the confined high-temperature plasmas used in other methods of fusion.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://spectrum.ieee.org/lattice-confinement-fusion|title=NASA's New Shortcut to Fusion Power|last1=Baramsai |first1=Bayardadrakh |last2=Benyo |first2=Theresa |last3=Forsley |first3=Lawrence |last4=Steinetz |first4=Bruce |date=February 27, 2022|website=IEEE Spectrum}}</ref><ref name="erbium">{{Cite journal|url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevC.101.044610|title=Novel nuclear reactions observed in bremsstrahlung-irradiated deuterated metals|first1=Bruce M.|last1=Steinetz|first2=Theresa L.|last2=Benyo|first3=Arnon|last3=Chait|first4=Robert C.|last4=Hendricks|first5=Lawrence P.|last5=Forsley|first6=Bayarbadrakh|last6=Baramsai|first7=Philip B.|last7=Ugorowski|first8=Michael D.|last8=Becks|first9=Vladimir|last9=Pines|first10=Marianna|last10=Pines|first11=Richard E.|last11=Martin|first12=Nicholas|last12=Penney|first13=Gustave C.|last13=Fralick|first14=Carl E.|last14=Sandifer|date=April 20, 2020|journal=Physical Review C|volume=101|issue=4|pages=044610|via=APS|doi=10.1103/physrevc.101.044610|bibcode=2020PhRvC.101d4610S|s2cid=219083603}}</ref>
