Re: [Vo]:Topology is Key. Carbon Nanostructures are King

The CNT hypothesis it is interesting in that it provides a way engineer the
nano-feature cavities.  However, a problem may exist with this strategy if
Peter Hagelstein's theory is correct.  According to Hagelstein, the excited
fused nucleus relaxes to a ground state by emitting multiple phonons due to
STRONG COUPLING of the fused nucleus to the surrounding LATTICE.  If you
have CNTs on a surface and not integrated into a lattice, you will not have
that strong coupling.  Any fusion to 4He that takes place in the CNT will
not then relax via multiple phonon emission and may instead emit gamma.
 This could end up being a test for Hagelstein's theory.
