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
