antimatter
Dr. Steven Howe identified an antimatter niche for the acceleration of small unmanned interstellar probes. Small amounts of antimatter can be used to initiate fission events whose daughters provided thrust. * use a dedicated customer $650 million accelerator to produce …
In March 2020, Positron Dynamics completed a new source installation at Berkeley. They continue to make progress on experiments and designs. Positron Dynamics designs avoid huge show-stopper problems with using antimatter. We cannot store useful amounts of antimatter. We can …
Hbar Technologies looks at using Breakthrough Starshot laser acceleration to reach Proxima Centauri and then use antimatter propulsion to decelerate. This would not be a flyby mission where a mission would pass through the solar system at 10% of the …
We can produce very little antimatter and what we make is very difficult to store. These have been huge obstacles that have made antimatter propulsion many trillions of times beyond technological capabilities. Positron Dynamics and Ryan Weed get around these …
Researchers report the observation of the 1S2P, Lyman- transition in antihydrogen, based on 966 detected events and an estimated background of 14 events. They will use the laser cooling innovation to help produce cold and dense sample of anti-atoms for …
The world only produces a nanogram of antimatter every year but we cannot store any of it for any length of time. Positron Dynamics has solutions to all of the huge problems to use the immense power of antimatter. Positrons …
There was a 2016-2017 Kickstarter for Antimatter fuel production. It was an effort by Dr. Gerald Jackson. He has an antimatter drive website which has an outline of the steps needed for working out how to produce and store several …
The US Office of Operational Testing and Evaluation released a 62 page report on the F-35 stealth fighter and still finds 276 deficiencies in combat performance. Despite the problems a military program whose cost has soared from $233 billion to …
Arrival has been out for a while and is actual mostly out of theaters I just want to point something out that I noticed. Minor spoiler. The pair of aliens are called Abbot and Costello. They look more like Kang …
Canadian reactor designer StarCore Nuclear has applied to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) to begin the vendor design review process for its Generation IV high temperature gas reactor (HTGR). Montréal-based StarCore, founded in 2008, is focused on developing small …
