Physicists in Japan have shown that "entirely end-bonded" multi-walled carbon nanotubes can superconduct at temperatures as high as 12 K, which is 30 times greater than for single-walled carbon nanotubes. The discovery has been made by a team led by Junji Haruyama of Aoyama Gakuin University in Kanagawa. The superconducting nanotubes could be used to study fundamental 1D quantum effects and also find practical applications in molecular quantum computing (Phys. Rev. Lett. 96 057001). Superconductivity is the complete absence of electrical resistance and is observed in certain materials when they are cooled below a superconducting transition temperature (Tc). Physicists agree...

To the Reader When I tried to express my ideas to explain the mechanism of the so-called cold fusion, I encountered a problem in determining the audience for which it is intended and where it will be understood. Yes, of course, this audience is included in a community of all the nuclear physicists—theorists, experimenters, and engineers on our planet. It is somewhere around 200,000 people or more. We can call this community group A. To understand our subject, we also must have a knowledge of physics of elementary particles, the hierarchy of types of interactions (charges)—weak, electromagnetic, and strong interactions,...

Can the collective emission of the excited surface phonon trigger low-energy nuclear reactions? Song-Yuan Ding* , Jun-Rong Zheng, Zhong-Qun Tian State Key Laboratory for Physical Chemistry of Solid Surfaces, College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Xiamen University, Xiamen 361005, China E-mail: syding@xmu.edu.cn Low-energy nuclear reaction (LENR) in condensed matter is a very challenging topic due to the complex control parameters to reproduce the experiments, and the remarkable impact to human society. The resonant tunnelling optical model with coupled complex potentials [1] is very interesting due to its simplicity and interoperability. The model includes a complex Coulomb barrier with a...

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...

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...
