Science Ping!

[Radio Free Tuscaloosa]

Still more creativity from a red state. Whowouldathunkit?

[ProudVet77]

Sounds a tad like a solid state laser for xrays. Pretty cool. Make one heck of a missile interceptor in space. Use the same system to generate it's own power via fusion.

Pictures please.

And when it goes awry, instant black hole, is it? No, wait a minute, that was a conversation with Art Bell....

These are big steps. But compared to the total task they are small. The number of such big steps is nearly uncountable up to this point and there is probably at least as much to go. Commercial fusion power is proceeding by such steps of genius and creativity and technical excellence and inspiration. If funding were bumped up 10X would it go 10X faster? Probably not, but it might go appreciably faster. It might go fast enough to save us from the energy disaster that looms in the not too distant future.

"These alterations will achieve still more powerful outputs for weapons studies..."

Let's hope this research leads to some of THESE for our troops...

[Itzlzha]

Now, by inserting a pretty, two-inch-long crystal that reflects at only a single frequency into the hellish center of Z as it fires, researchers have been able to visually filter out the bedlam of more than 99 percent of the energies generated.

"Aye...it's called a 'DiLithium Crystal'"...

Gene Roddenberry strikes again!

I love science
