Plasma test in the MAST tokamak, a plasma fusion chamber. =================================================================================== A new way of classifying magnetized plasma has led to the discovery of 10 previously unknown topological phases of plasma. Learning more about these phases, and specifically the transitions between them, could help plasma physicists chase down the white whale of energy - plasma fusion. That's because the transitions between them support edge modes, or waves at the intersection of the plasma surfaces. These exotic excitations could broaden the potential practical uses for magnetized plasma. "These findings could lead to possible applications of these exotic excitations in space and...

Exposure of highly deuterated materials to a low-energy (nom. 2 MeV) photon beam resulted in nuclear activity of both the parent metals of hafnium and erbium and a witness material (molybdenum) mixed with the reactants. Gamma spectral analysis of all deuterated materials, ErD2.8+C36D74+Mo and HfD2+C36D74+Mo, showed that nuclear processes had occurred as shown by unique gamma signatures. For the deuterated erbium specimens, posttest gamma spectra showed evidence of radioisotopes of erbium (163Er and 171Er) and of molybdenum (99Mo and 101Mo) and by beta decay, technetium (99mTc and 101Tc). For the deuterated hafnium specimens, posttest gamma spectra showed evidence of radioisotopes...

Abnormal absorption of hydrogen in nickel at ambient temperature with associated emission of neutrons # Ubaldo Mastromatteo 1 1 A.R.G.A.L. Via S. Stefano, 27/B – 20008 Bareggio (MI), Italy, E-mail: ubaldo.mastromatteo@libero.it While it is known that nickel at a temperature of a few hundred degrees if in hydrogen can slowly absorb a certain amount of this gas [1], there is no evidence that this can occur at room temperature and at pressures below 1 bar. On the contrary, by conducting studies and experiments on LENR anomalies in the ARGAL laboratory in Bareggio, Italy, it has been experimentally verified several times...

Thanks to a reader for letting me know about the claims of a new company named Electric Fusion Systems who have announced success in creating a compact fusion reactor which they state “heralds a monstrous leap in clean energy technology, not an incremental improvement to existing technology.” (https://electricfusionsystems.com/#tech). Here is how they describe their reactor: “We have designed and tested a compact aneutronic fusion reactor capable of delivering tens of kilowatts of power, yet scalable to megawatts. It can deliver constant, distributed energy, anywhere, anytime, without generating greenhouse gases or other waste products, or requiring expensive capital infrastructure or exotic...

Electrochemistry is an excellent method for packing deuterium into Pd metal at high density. However, from the perspective of using the excess heat generated for practical purposes, temperature increase...

Plasmonic Condensed Matter Nuclear Fusion Katsuaki Tanabe Kyoto University, Japan E-mail: tanabe@cheme.kyoto-u.ac.jp The intensity and density of the triggering energy supplied to activate the nuclear fusion reaction are key factors to produce a smooth and reproducible initiation of the reaction. We previously proposed and numerically analyzed a scheme to provide high-density optical or electromagnetic energy to fusion-fuel materials by lasers and plasmonic field-enhancement effects, to significantly increase the reaction probability [1–6]. Large degrees of field enhancements, or energy focusing, were observed around metal nanoparticles and nanoshells [1], planar metal surfaces [2,3], metal/oxide interfaces [5], sharp metal tips [4], and metal...

arXiv.org > physics > arXiv:2106.12988 Physics > Plasma Physics [Submitted on 22 Jun 2021] Enhanced D-D Fusion Rates when the Coulomb Barrier Is Lowered by Electrons Alfred Y. Wong, Alexander Gunn, Allan X. Chen, Chun-Ching Shih, Mason J. Guffey A profusion of unbound, low-energy electrons creates a local electric field that reduces Coulomb potential and increases quantum tunneling probability for pairs of nuclei. Neutral beam-target experiments on deuterium-deuterium fusion reactions, observed with neutron detectors, show percentage increases in fusion products are consistent with electron-screening predictions from Schrodinger wave mechanics. Experiments performed confirm that observed fusion rate enhancement with a negatively...

Their website indicates they have three Holmlid-effect muon generators operating at the moment. Suggestion: Hybrid Holmlid/Mizuno device for generating neutrons. Place a magnetized Mizuno device in the output path of a Holmlid muon generator. Typically every muon catalyzes ahundred or so D+D fusions. A small muon output is thereby multiplied. That is such a major improvement that physicists would be impressed to the extent that massive financial support would be shifted from...

Physicists Observe New Phase in Quantum Condensate of Light Apr 2, 2021 by Enrico de Lazaro Physicists at the University of Bonn have experimentally observed a new, previously unknown phase in the photon Bose-Einstein condensate. The Bose-Einstein condensate is a gas of atoms so dense and cold that their matter waves lose their individuality and condense into a ‘superatom wave.’ It was predicted in the 1920s by Satyendra Nath Bose and Albert Einstein and was eventually created in the lab in the 1990s at the University of Colorado Boulder, MIT and Rice University using laser cooling and evaporative cooling techniques....
