Conflicting Results on a Long-Lived Nuclear Isomer of Hafnium
Posted on Saturday, May 08, 2004 @ 21:02:21 UTC by vlad

Science Anonymous writes: Conflicting Results on a Long-Lived Nuclear Isomer of Hafnium Have Wider Implications

Since 1999, a collaboration led by Carl Collins (University of Texas at Dallas) has been reporting evidence for the x-ray induced release of energy stored in an unusually long-lived nuclear isomer of hafnium-178. Collins's claims have aroused a public debate whose acrimony reflects issues that go far beyond the interesting but normally staid physics of nuclear isomers.


The Texas collaboration purports to have demonstrated that a 10-keV x-ray photon can precipitate a prompt 2.45-MeV gamma-ray cascade as the isomer 178Hfm2 relaxes to the stable nuclear ground state. Normally, the isomer's halflife is 31 years. Such triggered release of nuclear energy, if it is indeed possible, raises the prospect of radically new weapons and energy-storage technologies.

The bleatings of the physics establishment are quite entertaining to listen to. According to what I have read, this experiment has not been successfully repeated at Argonne, but has been in Japan.

I have no idea if this is real or not. Its certainly possible. And its obvious why the military would be interested in this technology.

Cold fusion seems to be coming in out of the cold, no pun intended.
