An interesting read, but it only goes up to 2009 which is before the subject gets really interesting if you are interested in CF utility as I am. The English version is in too good English for it to be a translation! The mind set was that one had to look for neutrons in the early days rather

But countless times you have said Rossi is a fraud and the COP<1 Now you're saying the E-Cat maybe worked? If the E-Cat worked earlier do you really suppose Rossi retrograded performance with time? AA On 8/29/2016 5:09 PM, Jed Rothwell wrote: a.ashfield

It seems the American Physical Society is going to publish replication results of Rossi's Ni/H2/L reactor How are you going to explain that Jed? That Rossi, who has been working on it for years can't do it, but a new group using hints he has published can?

"This is because in ZrTe5 the electrons responsible for the current have no mass." That itself sounds like a dramatic claim, electrons with no mass? I am able to produce a current of something that I believe is like an electron albeit not propperly physical, and I believe it gains something by

RE: [Vo]:Article: Electrons with no mass acquire a mass in the presence of a high magnetic field

“Electrons with no mass”… wow… imagine the possibilities. Massless electrons ? Actually we should call them Weyl Fermions (WF) since by definition, the electron has mass and we do not want to ruffle too many feathers. And a quick googling indicates high probability that WF have been

In a quick search to see if there are known candidates for Weyl semimetals which also are known to be contaminants of palladium in small quantities, one candidate has turned up - Pr2Ir2O7. In fact iridium is commonly found with palladium ore. Praseodymium is a rare earth element that also has a

Bob Greenyer has a new video that proposes a method to determine which theory is right and then goes on the talk about muon generation. It is a curiously awkward presentation and you can safely skip the first nine minutes.
