A post from can >From the Tern Research website linked above by Ahlfors there's a press release dated 2017-12-26; it has some interesting tidbits. It looks like they're doing laser ablation experiments. Metals exposed to ultra-dense hydrogen would take significantly more time to ablate. * * * * *

2018-01-28 Thread JonesBeene
Speaking of loss of “gravitational mass” the electrons in graphene are called massless. One of the most controversial and defining properties is indeed an “apparent loss of mass” which aside from semantics, is interesting for a number of practical reasons in batteries and capacitors. https:/
