Cool stuff and only the beginning. Government needs to get out of the way of research, stop politicizing it and let it run its course.

wasn’t tesla on to something like this with static electricity?

Cross engineer it with those 24,000 year old Rotifers.

Then turn them loose at landfills.

Just what we need. Robots with a fully independent power source.

I thought Terminator was supposed to be a warning, but it appears we’re using it as a cookbook.

Cool. In my view, all you’d need to do is load up the carbon nanotube with deuterium and the electrons might actually generate LENR.

Carbon nanotube assisted fusion?

https://patents.google.com/patent/EP2656350A1/en
Methods of generating energy and/or he-4 using graphene based materials
Abstract
There is disclosed a method of generating non-ionizing radiation, non-ionizing 4He atoms, or a combination of both, the method comprising: contacting graphene materials with a source of deuterium; and aging the graphene materials in the source of deuterium for a time sufficient to generate non-ionizing radiation, non-ionizing 4He atoms. In one embodiment, graphene materials may comprise carbon nanotubes, such as nitrogen doped single walled or multi-walled carbon nanotubes. Unlike an alpha particle, the non-ionizing 4He atoms generated by the disclosed method are a low energy particles, such as one having an energy of less than 1 MeV, such as less than 100 keV. Other non-ionizing radiation that can be generated by the disclosed process include soft x-rays, phonons or energetic electrons within the carbon material, and visible light.

Seldon Technologies, NASA, and LENR
“The present disclosure combines the unique properties of nanotubes and in one embodiment carbon nanotubes, in a novel manifestation designed to meet current and future energy needs in an environmentally friendly way. Devices powered with nanotube based nuclear power systems may substantially change the current state of power distribution.”
–Retired U.S. Rear Admiral Craig E. Steidle of Seldon Technologies on cold fusion nanotube-based nuclear power systems.

In engineering, you haven’t made it until they name a dimensionless number after you, like Reynolds.

What happens when you suck all the energy out of the environment?

“Carbon P. Dubbs?”

First cousin of Maynard G. Krebbs.

I dunno, the current administration has pretty much done that with the economy.

The lead authors of the study are MIT graduate student Albert Tianxiang Liu and former MIT researcher Yuichiro Kunai. Other authors include former graduate student Anton Cottrill, postdocs Amir Kaplan and Hyunah Kim, graduate student Ge Zhang, and recent MIT graduates Rafid Mollah and Yannick Eatmon.

I'm noticing a trend here. I doubt these kids took any "Woke" math or were taught CRT BS.
