WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Researchers are reporting new evidence supporting their earlier discovery of an inexpensive "tabletop" device that uses sound waves to produce nuclear fusion reactions. The ...

The pressure variations of a sound wave can make a gas bubble in a liquid periodically shrink and grow. At certain temperatures and pressures, the bubble may implode to generate a huge pulse of energy ...

In sonoluminescence, pulses of light are emitted by bubbles that are forced to expand and collapse by sound waves. Physicists have long speculated that the considerable compression forces inside the ...

The dramatic flashing implosion of tiny bubbles–in acetone containing deuterium atoms–produces tritium and nuclear emissions similar to emissions characteristic of nuclear fusion involving ...

A few years back, bubble fusion was all the rage and sonoluminescence could do everything from generating free energy to curing baldness. Alas, the stigma of research fraud has cooled much of the ...

It is three years since Professor Rusi Taleyarkhan made the controversial claim that he had achieved one of the holy grails of science - nuclear fusion. Since then, he has grown tired of the ...
