Bulk metal, in general, never absorb such abundant D/H atoms as to exceed the host metal atom density, and so, these D-atoms cannot be approachable each other at all even atomic distance of their molecule within the bulk metal. As a result, they never cause nuclear fusion within the bulk metal (ever bulk Pd). On the contrary, nano-metal, such as nano-Pd (isolated < Φ150 A, embedded ≤ Φ50 A in size), instantly absorbed abundant D/H atoms up to levels as high as 300% of Pd metal density. These absorbed atoms were solidified densely inside each unit cell of the host lattice as solid-state "Pycnodeuterium"/"Pycnohydrogen". Moreover, we developed not only nano-Pd metal but also new materials which show similar behavior with nano-metal under bulk-state. In a word, peculiar bulk oxidized compound absorbed abundant D/H atoms and solid-state "Pycnodeuterium"/"Pycnohydrogen" were produced within throughout their bulk materials. Pycnodeuterium with stimulation energy easily caused intense solid-state nuclear fusion, whereas in case of Pycnohydrogen no reaction occurred. As a result, it was clarified that Pycnodeuterium is by far the best nuclear fuel compared to all other nuclear fuels just as "gaseous deuterium" against the "thermonuclear fusion".
