Re: [Vo]:Nikkei reports on Iwamura's transumtation research
Another interesting tidbit: p. 1 says they were awarded a patent in Japan, and a patent in Europe in 2013. Page 1 also quotes the guy in charge of the research center, Ishide, saying that they have made progress in recent years. He says the amount of material transmuted has increased from "nanogram levels to micrograms; an improvement by 3 orders of magnitude . . ." I think the rest of the technical content can be found in recent papers by Iwamura. - Jed
Re: [Vo]:Nikkei reports on Iwamura's transumtation research
The second page of this article discusses cold fusion. It includes the usual blather about how it was "mostly" not replicated, and how it is considered no better than alchemy. The article implies Iwamura is trying to distance himself from cold fusion, which is not true. Then it has a photo of Prof. Arima visiting the experiment in 2007. Arima is Japan's version of Robert Park. He denounced cold fusion when it was first reported, and he is the go-to source for the newspapers when they want a fresh attack. I hope Iwamura rubbed his nose in the results. - Jed

Ah, thanks. Someone told me about this, but I could not find it with the Nikkei's search function. - Jed

放射性廃棄物の無害化に道？ 三菱重、実用研究へ (google translation) The road to the detoxification of radioactive waste? Mitsubishi Heavy, to practical research 2014/4/8 7:00 Use the deuterium, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries established the basic technology of the element conversion to change the type of the element with less energy. Without a large-scale nuclear reactors and accelerators, for example cesium was confirmed by experiment and can vary in many praseodymium element number four. Toward demonstration equipment installation in the future and into the practical application research. Converted to harmless non-radioactive elements, the same strontium and radioactive cesium radioactive waste and those that open the way for detoxification of, the rush to put to practical use as a primary manufacturer. conversion element in a hundred hours Late March, lecture room of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the U.S. Boston. Before researchers of more than 100 people that gathered from the world, Iwamura Yasuhiro intelligence group length in the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd., Advanced Technology Research Center was reported, "was confirmed micro parts per million () grams elemental conversion".Proposal of theory which receives numerous questions, to explain the experiment that the company also announced a number... http://www.nikkei.com/article/DGXNASDZ040JJ_X00C14A400/
