Positronium molecules created in a lab
RIVERSIDE, Calif., Sept. 12 (UPI) -- U.S. physicists have, for the first time, created positronium molecules in a laboratory.
The scientists at the University of California-Riverside said each briefly stable molecule is made up of a pair of electrons and a pair of their anti-particles, called positrons.
The research paves the way for studying multi-positronium interactions that might one day help develop fusion power generation, as well as directed energy weapons such as gamma-ray lasers, the scientists said, adding the achievement might also help explain how the observable universe ended up with so much more matter than antimatter.
The research by Professors Allen Mills and David Cassidy and colleagues is to appear in the Sept. 13 issue of the journal Nature.
====================================
What could be bad, unless of course it had been Iammadjohn news from Iran?
That is a cool story... I’m going to read up on thiose developments.
Sadly, I think things will come to a head in Iran well before a new generation of beam weapons is available.
Not to mention the other issues - when ray guns are standard side arms then the 2nd amendment will protect ray gun ownership but some mayor with a judge behind him will no doubt want to ban ray guns.
History repeats.
