Nuclear transmutations are better facilitated by alloys over pure metal cathodes in electrolysis. Kumar Ankit , Rajeev K. P., Pala Raj Ganesh, Jain Panka Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur Email:ankt@iitk.ac.in, kpraj@iitk.ac.in, rpala@iitk.ac.in, pkjain@iitk.ac.in Recently, various studies have shown Nuclear signatures in low energy physical and chemical processes (“Cold fusion” edited by Jean-Paul Biberian). One of the most effective methods to realize low energy nuclear reactions (LENR) is via electrolysis. Our primary objective is to explore the importance of alloys as opposed to pure metals as cathodes for LENR. To explore this question, we evaluated four systems: Pure Ni, pure Cu,...

Construction of the device and preliminary tests can be found in my previous posts. The device used here (brass-brass) is exaclty the same tested before as control (Fig. 1). - Electroplating/Co-deposition process The working electrode (WE) was gently rubbed with fine sandpaper and cleaned with alcohol, then it was placed in the electrolytic cell. The cell was realised with a normal test tube, with four 1 mm iron wires sourrounding the WE. The iron wires were connected to...

Epic sci-fi crap typically ain't my cup of tea. I get a lot of angry e-mails from people whose bottle of Mountain Dew it is. The notes are usually pretty threatening, as though me not liking something these people love is a matter of utmost importance. As though the fact some as***le with a web site doesn't care for what they do threatens the substance of their passion. My nephew Jimmy is one of these people. He is spurred to action only when someone insults the s**t he likes. Then, his first reaction is to insult whomever doesn't share his...

On Hawaii's Mauna Kea volcano, which rises more than 13,000 feet above sea level, there is a mid-level base facility where scientists can pretend they are on the moon. Hawaii's volcanic terrain, soil and remote environment provide an ideal environment for testing instruments and equipment that someday may be used by astronauts at a lunar base. Recently, a team of scientists working for the Pacific International Space Center for Exploration Systems (PISCES) demonstrated its first field test for NASA's In Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) Project. Research Operations Manager John Hamilton supported the mission simulation to show how astronauts will be...

LIVERMORE, Calif., Oct. 16 (UPI) -- U.S. and Russian scientists say they have discovered the newest superheavy element -- element 118. The researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and from the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Russia made the announcement Monday. In experiments conducted at the JINR U400 cyclotron from February-June 2005, the researchers said they observed atomic decay patterns, or chains, that establish the existence of element 118. In these decay chains, previously observed element 116 is produced via the alpha decay of element 118. Element 118 is expected to be a noble...
