Extractions: March 5 Evidence showing that nuclear fusion can occur in a beaker of liquid excited by sound waves, has produced a new flurry of press activity reminiscent of that around the 1989 announcement by Pons and Fleischmann that they had achieved fusion in an electrochemical cell. The new evidence, reporting on experiments by a team at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, is reported in an March 8, 2002 article in Science magazine that was released yesterday. As then, the prevailing popular delusions about what science is dominate the discussion, even by the scientists themselves. As the announcment of the 1989 cold fusion anomaly came under attack from lying establishment physicists, discussion unfortunately, degenerated into practical arguments over whether or not, and how soon, a cold-fusion cell in every basement could replace the gas furnace or oil burner. Whether the results announced in the 8 March Science article, ``Evidence for Nuclear Emissions During Acoustic Cavitation,'' prove sound or not, we are reminded again that scientific progress can result only from the posing and resolution of true paradoxes in the mind of an experimental investigator. The important subject in this case is sonoluminescence, the emission of pulses of blue light from the collapse of air bubbles in a liquid that has been excited by sound waves, first studied in Germany in 1934. How a light wave could be produced by a sound wave was the unsolved paradox. In the Oak Ridge experiments, the hydrogen in acetone (C-3 H-6 O), the principal ingredient in nail polish remover, is replaced by the heavier deuterium isotope. Sound waves are passed through the liquid at the same time as a pulse of high energy neutrons. It is hypothesized that the acoustic bubbles which form, then collapse so fast that not only is light produced, but the deuterium is somehow caused to undergo nuclear fusion. The evidence for this is in the excess of neutrons and tritium, a heavier isotope of hydrogen, detected in the solution. The amounts are very small, however, and the existence of the effect is being challenged.

Extractions: Students begin their exploration by first understanding some basic acoustical principles, such as resonance behavior, quality factors, variation of sound speed with temperature, and the eigenmode structure of a 3-dimensional resonance "cavity." Once these principles are understood there are a large number of experiments that can be performed focusing on the liquid sample preparation and the light emitted from the bubble.

Extractions: II: What is the light emitting mechanism? Question I can be answered along a hydrodynamical/chemical approach which we elaborated in the recent years: For SBSL to occur, the bubble collapse has to be violent enough to ensure energy transfer from the fluid to the gas in the bubble and strong enough heating of the gas inside the bubble.

Extractions: Why have I not heard or seen much about this technology? What is sonoluminescence? According to the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, "sonoluminescence is the emission of light by bubbles in a liquid excited by sound." The first process of sonoluminescence is to create a bubble with one percent argon impurity in a container filled with liquid. The size of this bubble should be about 4 microns in diameter. Next, sound waves with a frequency at around 110 decibels will bombard the bubble, causing sonoluminescence to be initiated. At first, the tiny bubble grows to at least one hundred microns wide. Then, the bubble collapses to 1 micron. During this process, the temperature of the bubble can rise as high as 72 000 K. How does this alternative benefit people? Like other alternative energies, sonoluminescence is clean and renewable, and at the same time produces large amounts of energy. It is for this very feature that it is possible with sonoluminescence to break down materials at the subatomic level; that can help to recycle different types of materials. Sonoluminescence can also be used to create fusion. Fusion is thought to occur in the bubble, for the pressure and the temperature are so high. Even several industrial laboratories have used the sonoluminescence process to fuse hydrogen into metal.

As the Internet becomes larger and larger, and consequently more difficult to control and to manage, telecommunication operators, manufacturers and companies require tools to perform management and control tasks. A large number of tools coming from different areas have been proposed but these are not sufficient to handle an evolving and dynamic environment. This book presents and explains all the techniques which integrate a certain level of intelligence (through intelligent software agents for example) in order to represent knowledge, take appropriate decisions, communicate with other entities and achieve a self-managing network.

Genetically engineered goats will be used to produce milk loaded with spider silk, five times as strong, by weight, as steel; tough enough to make a new generation of soft body armor or the finest surgical thread. "It's incredible that a tiny animal found literally in your backyard can create such an amazing material by using only amino acids, the same building blocks that are used to make skin and hair," said Jeffrey Turner, President of Nexia. "Spider silk is a material science wonder - a self-assembling, biodegradable, high-performance, nanofiber structure one-tenth the width of a human hair that can stop a bee traveling at 20 miles per hour without breaking. Spider silk has dwarfed Man's achievements in material science to date."

Extractions: Sonofusion The Star in a Jar History of Sonofusion Sonofusion Calculations Other Links Sonoluminescence occurs when sonic pressure waves cause the growth and subsequent collapse of microscopic bubbles. Due to the high pressures released during the collapse of the bubbles, energy can be emitted in the form of light, hence sonoluminescence. If the energy is great enough, it is thought that fusion reactions can be initiated, or sonofusion. Sonofusion or bubble cavitation is thought to be more correctly termed acoustic inertial confinement fusion (acoustic ICF). History of Sonofusion The earliest reference I have found on a sonofusion-type process is a patent by Hugh G. Flynn , a professor at the University of Rochester. Flynn passed away in 1997.

Research Uncovers Possible New Explanation For Sonoluminescence An Ohio State University physicist may have uncovered the atomic process behind sonoluminescence, an effect in which ultrasonic waves break against the http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/1998/06/980622061213.htm
Extractions: Share Blog Cite Print Email Bookmark ScienceDaily (Jun. 22, 1998) See also: This new explanation may assist the emerging field of sonochemistry, where scientists use ultrasound to accelerate and enhance chemical reactions for instance, in the creation of new materials. It may also hold applications in the field of optics. Sanjay Khare, a postdoctoral researcher in physics at Ohio State, said that even though scientists know a great deal about the motions of bubbles and ultrasonic waves, nobody knows exactly how sonoluminescence works on an atomic level. Khare and Pritiraj Mohanty, a graduate student of physics at the University of Maryland, College Park, found a possible clue to the atomic source of sonoluminescence when they considered that the ultrasound-stimulated bubbles emit light in very short pulses, as short as 10 parts in a trillionth of a second. Khare and Mohanty hit upon the idea that if the many atoms inside the bubble decayed at the same time, then the light waves would emerge in step with each other and at the same frequency. That would account for the short pulses. In a paper that appeared in a recent issue of the journal Physical Review Letters, the researchers proposed that stimulated, or excited, atoms decaying in unison could emit the kind of light seen in sonoluminescence.
