Why can low energy nuclear reactions (LENR) occur, while no state of condensed matter is able to provide for either the high-energy excitation of nuclei or the effective screening of their electric charge needed?Firstly, contrary to common delusion, it is because the dynamical behavior of ...
How long does it take for nuclear waste to decay? Why does spontaneous fission occur? How do radioactive isotopes decay? What happens in the nucleus during alpha decay? What are the causes of nuclear pollution? How does uranium-235 decay?
Why is it that chain reactions do not occur in natural deposits of uranium? Why do stars explode when they die? Discuss the pros and cons of nuclear power. Why is the possibility of sustained nuclear fusion as a source of power explored with such determination?
Nuclear fusion reactions are much safer than nuclear fission reactions, as they do not have the potential to undergo a catastrophic meltdown. Nuclear fusion technology is still in the early stages of development, and there are many challenges that need to be overcome before it can be used as ...
The helium fusion that occurs will go out of thermal control and a helium flash will occur. There will be a huge amount of energy generated that will expand the interior of the sun, and then the interior, the remaining helium, will undergo a stabilizing reaction, and then the sun will su...
Briefly explain the eutectic and eutectoid reactions in Iron - Iron Carbide (Fe-Fe3C) phase diagram. At what temperatures and compositions (Percent C) do these reactions occur? What are the phases before and after the reactions? ...
Miracles have not been demonstrated to occur. The existence of a miracle would poselogical problemsfor belief in a god which can supposedly see the future and began the universe with a set of predefined laws. Even if a ‘miracle’ could be demonstrated itwould notimmediately imply the existence...
gases. The star at the center of the solar system may be 150 million kilometers (93 million miles) from Earth, but it's bright due to its enormous size. The heat that produces the brightness is powered by nuclear fusion that takes place in the sun's core under massive gravitational ...
with living things in general. Even the simplest cells have four physical features: a cell membrane to protect and hold together the cell;cytoplasmto make up the bulk of its mass and offer a matrix in which reactions can occur,ribosomesto make proteins; andgenetic materialin the form of ...
The commercial nuclear power plants that exist today generate electricity through nuclear fission reactions. In these reactions, heavier atoms (often uranium-235) are split into smaller atoms. A small amount of mass is converted to energy in this process and this energy is used...
