A “standard” not shared completely on the Internet is not a workable tool for global collaboration

Freya Blekman @freyablekman #CMSPaper 1338 describes a precision measurement of the production rate of the quantum carriers of the weak force, the Z and W bosons. These measurements allow comparison and improvement of detailed understanding of the strong force in the standard model https://buff.ly/3ZaS4kI https://pic.x.com/593sfmughe Replying to @freyablekman A “standard” not shared completely on the

Wu’s parity violation is likely magnetic for strong (MeV) and weak (KeV) isotope reactions

Zhigang Suo @zhigangsuo  The Nobel Laureate T.D. Lee died recently. @yangyang_cheng wrote about Lee’s role in lifting science in China, and in bridging China and America. These magical years of 1980s! https://npr.org/2024/09/05/nx-s1-5092630/td-lee-legacy-perspective-china-physics-yangyang-cheng Replying to @zhigangsuo and @yangyang_cheng Thanks for sharing! There have been many excellent and outstanding researchers from China working in China and around

KeV and MeV bond reactions with practical applications – atomic fuels, and extended nuclear materials

Ideal Weapon: Can Hafnium Bombs Replace Nuclear Bombs? at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHPzQrJ8D7M Suggest you use NuDat3 at BNL to see all the isotopes that can be used. You also need all the magnetic moments, which I think they will be adding. Most of the radioactive isotopes can be used for their reactions. Not just stable ones if

Modular GigaWatt units only have to store and deliver for a few minutes

Military Affairs: US Tests Its Monstrously Powerful Laser Carrier To Beat Hypersonic Missiles at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmN23S8GmWk For SpaceX type earth to orbit and orbit to earth field generators, many modular 2 GigaWatt units only have to store and deliver for a few minutes, so they can be small and if some fail, sufficient backup is available.

Electrospray and laser assisted “fabrics” and “strings” can be made – up to atomic and nuclear bond energies

Chan Zuckerberg Initiative @ChanZuckerberg Imaging researcher @edithsandstroem + team captured this image in under 12 minutes—the same image generated with the current standard of mass spectrometers would take more than 3 days!  https://pic.x.com/wu9fcipfnr Replying to @ChanZuckerberg and @edithsandstroem The electrospray Taylor cone approach for surface tension (surface energy) might well be applied to carbon, boron,
