Knotted light in respected journal seems related to Focus Fusion

A paper in the journal “Nature Physics: Linked and knotted beams of light by William T. M. Irvine and Dirk Bouwmeester appears like it would be related to the goals of Lawrenceville Plasma Physics, Inc to make Focus Fusion. Because knotted light beams have both beamlike properties and unique unexplored properties, the physicists (Irvine and …

Transgenic genetic engineering update and a possible path to more transgenic breakthroughs

13 genes changed in a mouse embryo system, influence the molecular machinery to yield human limb and thumb development patterns. The method used could be applied across the genome to understand at a molecular level what leads to differences between humans and non-human primates. This work relates to transgenic genetic engineering and the possibility of …

Possible carbon fullerene advance to spintronics, molecular electronics and quantum computing

Stable carbon-80 fullerene (C79B) would be an electron short, instead of having an extra electron. There would be the components of a molecular semiconductor. C79N (carbon 80 with one carbon changed to a nitrogen) would have an extra electron. “No one has done anything like this,” said Harry Dorn of Virginia Tech. “Since the article …

Annular fuel 50% power ultra-uprate to nuclear power – Economics versus new nuclear plants is the key issue

MIT and Westinghouse have been working on increasing the power of existing pressure water nuclear reactors by 50%. A test reactor at MIT had successful tests. The technical and economic issues continue to be studied. This presents the economic and technical analysis that are being performed. In 2006, Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute started a …

Single Crystal Superconductors and Quantum Traffic Jam analysis of Superconductor electrons

Single Crystal Superconductor – clear scientific study of new Iron SuperconductorResearch groups have created versions of a class of widely studied superconducting compounds that are each one continuous crystal, rather than composed of many crystalline grains. These single-crystal materials are important achievements because they display better properties than polycrystalline types and are easier to study. …

Progress to exaflop computers and specialized supercomputers

Wehner, Oliker, and Shalf estimate that a general-purpose exaflop machine using today’s technology would cost $1 billion to build and 200 megawatts to power—enough for a small city. By comparison, they estimate, a specialized exaflop machine would cost just $75 million and consume just 4 MW. Berkeley Labs and Tensilica are working together on a …
