Note that they use carbon nanotubes as the basis for those silicon 0.2 micron [not really nano-] tubes. Carbon is about 20x smaller than silicon — Far more likely to have individualized linear sets of atoms traveling in the smaller tube.
And once a fusion reaction happens, nothing is strong enough to hold it in place.
The silicon could act as a reinforcement to the carbon tubes, like a tube within a tube.
But maybe with this new material, called hexagonal boron nitride, it could even be stronger still................
Yeah, but then you would probably lose your generated neutrons by reaction with the boron nucleus.
Holmlid would explain the heat given off as the energy released by condensation of a hydrogen (isotope) during compression ( in this case by entry into a metallic lattice.)
His computations for formation of ultra dense hydrogen yield about 650 electro-volts per nucleon. This is far beyond the 4.5 eV binding energy for chemical dissociation involving hydrogen.
Edmund Storms of Los Alamos liked nano-cracks as active sites.
“Fleishman and Ponds were right.”
ROTFLMAO!
Not ‘cold fusion’. Keep your propaganda on your own threads.
Yes it IS cold fusion and you are unwelcome on these threads.
Open your own thread when ya wanna act like a seagull.
Wonder if they tried Uranium Deuteride, isn’t that UD3 (heheh)? A notable issue with using UD3 in initiators is the neutrons are moderated by the D and thus the nuclear reaction fizzles, but in this case something less than a fizzle is perfectly alright. If the UD3 is surface coated (a few atoms thick perhaps) onto a negatively charged conductor (heheh gold) then it could be bombarded with D+ ions from a Neutristor-like accelerator of some kind. Gold is interesting as a substrate because it will let out a little gamma when it captures a neutron or perhaps suffer beta decay. Either of which could stimulate more fun.
Note I am not a real nuclear physicist, just a lay person reading wikipedia and those interesting papers cited in the article.
“Yes it IS cold fusion and you are unwelcome on these threads.”
This is a non-cold fusion science thread. Keep your ignorance on your pseudo-science threads.
I opened this thread as a standard cold fusion science thread, pinged the regulars,, and disruptor trolls like you are unwelcome to such threads per Jimrob’s posted rules.
Post your own thread and whine over there, as has been done in the past.
Get lost.
I think the cracks are where Helium escapes the lattice and boats out the cracks even further.
Also, with so few fusion reactions [I think in this case the authors detected less than a hundred], they are realizing that gamma rays are released orthogonal to the collisions of the atoms and have a high probability of hitting or interacting with the host lattice atoms.
“I opened this thread as a standard cold fusion science thread”
Please explain how it is cold fusion when the interacting particles are at hot fusion energies ...
What cold fusion device is activated by high energy x-rays?
So the paragraphs fused together in your first try?

Please leave this thread. Per Jimrob’s stated rules.
I’m happy to answer legit questions on your own trolling thread.
If your purpose is Snide Remarks and trolling, you’re unwelcome on these cold fusion threads.

Please leave this thread. Open your own.
Your purpose is to throw shade so open your own shade thread and kindly get lost.
