In cavitation experiments with deuterated acetone, tritium decay activity above background levels was detected. addition, evidence for neutron emission near 2.5 million electron volts also observed, as would be expected deuterium-deuterium fusion. Control normal acetone did not result in or emissions. Hydrodynamic shock code simulations supported the observed data and indicated highly compressed, hot (10 6 to 10 7 kelvin) bubble implosion conditions, required nuclear fusion reactions.

Abstract Poverty entails more than a scarcity of material resources—it also involves shortage time. To examine the causal benefits reducing time poverty, we conducted longitudinal field experiment over six consecutive weeks in an urban slum Kenya with sample working mothers, population who is especially likely to experience severe poverty. Participants received vouchers for services designed reduce their burden unpaid labor. We compared effect these against equivalently valued unconditional...

A unique, new stand-alone acoustic inertial confinement nuclear fusion test device was successfully tested. Experiments using four different liquid types were conducted in which bubbles self-nucleated without the use of external neutrons. Four independent detection systems used (i.e., a neutron track plastic detector to provide unambiguous visible records for fast neutrons, ${\mathrm{BF}}_{3}$ detector, NE-113-type scintillation and NaI $\ensuremath{\gamma}$ ray detector). Statistically...

The theoretical and experimental foundations of so-called bubble nuclear fusion are reviewed. In the process, a spherical cavitation cluster m in diameter is produced bubbles at center cylindrical chamber filled with deuterated acetone using focused acoustic field having resonant frequency about 20 kHz. acoustically-forced effectuate volume oscillations sharp collapses during compression stage. At final stages collapse, emits 2.5 MeV D-D neutron pulses rate per second. yield s. parallel,...

Americans are time-poor. They work long hours and leave paid vacation days unused. An analysis of over 200,000 U.S. workers reveals that not prioritizing is linked to lower happiness. Many people, however, do feel they can take due financial temporal constraints. How might people enjoy the emotional benefits without taking additional time off or spending money? Three preregistered experiments tested effect simply treating weekend “like a vacation” (vs. regular weekend”) on subsequent...

Experiments on the prompt neutron-induced cavitation effect in tetrachloroethylene are described. Cavitation bubbles were detected by fast acoustic signals they emit, probably during collapse phase. Using a pulsed fast-neutron source phase locked to field, and time analyser, information was obtained history of which nucleated at known sound pressure field. Some other properties also investigated using both Po/Be source.
