Team Confirms UCLA Tabletop Fusion
An anonymous reader writes "A team of New York physicists has confirmed that a tabletop contraption made at UCLA does in fact generate nuclear fusion at room temperatures, using pairs of crystals and a small tank of deuterium. But unlike less reliable reports back in the 1980s, there's no talk this time of producing endless supplies of power. Rather, the technology could lead to ultra-portable x-ray machines and even a wearable device that could provide safe, continuous cancer treatment."
Back in the 1980s there was the same vibe over cold fusion, and we all know how that turned out.
"No, this sucker's electrical, but I need a nulear reaction to generate the 1.2 Gigawatts needed for time travel!"
HELLO MR. FUSION!
(Now where's that beer can...)
A team of New York physicists has confirmed that a tabletop contraption made at UCLA does in fact generate nuclear fusion at room temperatures...
If the New York physicists have confirmed it, then it has to be true. Has to be.
NOTICE TO NEW BUYERS! Please do not eat, drop, fall-on-top-of, get in car wreck, avoid all plane crashes and train accidents...
no thanks, wearing a landmine 'round my neck doesn't seem better than going through chemo.
even a wearable device that could provide safe, continuous cancer treatment.
Because, after demonstrating they could use personal firearms safely and only in the recommended manner, it was deemed reasonable to give Americans personal nukes.
