Physicists Just Found The Lightest Known Form of Uranium, And It Has Unique Behaviors

That would be fission, not fusion. If you think it makes sense to ping the list, you’ll find it at the bottom of my profile page. Most of them probably won’t mind.

[Red Badger]

I wouldn’t want to create con-fusion..................

I wonder how much “lighter” it is in terms of pounds, ounces, kilograms, grams and such. Why? Nuclear powered space travel.

U-214 would be almost exactly 214/238 as dense as U-238.

Since U-238 has a density of 19.1 grams per cm3, that comes to about 17.1 grams per cm3.

However, as others here have pointed out, the extremely short half-life (measured in milliseconds) would make storage a problem (/understatement).

Yeah, noticed that “slight problem” when I last tried to reload the reactor with this new fuel they sold me. Seems it vanished before we unloaded it from the UPS truck.

Might need FedEx overnight delivery next time.

Seriously, how did they just now find/analyze the 122 neutron isotope, but not the apparently more stable 126 weight version?

[Red Badger]

Gonna need bigger neutrons..................

There is a secondary issue bearing down. I got a new cellphone and it doesn’t support my Bluetooth keyboard. I can’t select & copy individual paragraphs like the ping list.
Plus, when I try to select my entire profile page and delete everything but the ping list, it hangs my phone. So I’m kinda dead in the water .

Get a tablet, for FR. They are very cheap. $40 for a 7” Fire at Kohl’s and other fine retailers...........

[Larry Lucido]

Sorry, honey. There’s a reason they call me Uranium 214.

[zeugma]

One of the things I really like about FR is the range of topics covered here. It’s amazing, really.

[Kevmo]

I like the price and the concept. But it turns out that my cellphone carrier charges a “tethering” fee if I hook up across Wi-Fi or USB.

What I need is a tablet I can pop my cellphone Sim Card into.

I might be able to operate across bluetooth but the Galacy A32 doesn’t support my bluetooth keyboard so I have little confidence it’ll support a tablet.

[M Kehoe]

I lost a few isotopes one time.

Uranium 235 if I recall.

For some reason everyone got upset.

5.56mm

[SuperLuminal]

It appears that the Chinese uranium 214 is just like Chinese food...

Interesting & satisfying, but doesn’t stick around very long...

[AdmSmith]

Nice work, the description of the experimental measurements are here https://arxiv.org/pdf/2101.06023.pdf

The isotopes measured as of now are from z= 214 to 242 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_uranium but many more will be discovered. By using Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov method some data have been calculated for z = 209 to 296.

This https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTOp_2ZVZmM&t=192s is a very good visualization of the valley of stability depending on the number of protons and neutrons.

I changed my mind about pinging the cold fusion list to a fission thread because it mentions alpha decay and some cold fusion cells have logged this kind of decay.

[grey_whiskers]

What is the energy-dependent cross section for neutron absorption look like for it?

[Candor7]

Ping to Uranium lite.

[Fred Nerks]

Don’t know what I would do with Uranium Lite but I sure could use some transparent aluminum for a patio roof I plan to build.
