mine it in space. When a region is disturbed by a supernova or hot stars,dust grains are vaporized, releasing deuterium atoms back into a gas phase. - suck that up with Space Force ship. "Since the 1970s we have been unable to explain why deuterium levels vary all over the place," said team leader Jeffrey Linsky of JILA, a joint institute of the University of Colorado, Boulder, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology. In the 1970s, NASA's Copernicus satellite found deuterium distribution in the Milky Way galaxy to be patchy. There was more in one direction and, inexplicably, far less in other directions. Early FUSE observations confirmed this, a perplexing result because deuterium should be evenly mixed and as readily available as other elements for the creation of new stars. In 2003, Bruce Draine of Princeton University, a tem member on the new result, developed computer models that showed how deuterium, compared to hydrogen, might preferentially bind to interstellar dust grains, changing from an easily detectable gaseous form to an unobservable solid form. The new FUSE data strongly support this theory. In regions that remain undisturbed for long periods, such as the "local bubble" around our sun a few hundred light-years across, deuterium atoms systematically leave the gas phase and replace normal hydrogen atoms in dust grains. FUSE cannot detect this non-gaseous form, which explains the low detection level of 15 parts per million hydrogen atoms in our neighborhood and values as low as 5 parts per million elsewhere. When a region is disturbed by a supernova or hot stars, dust grains are vaporized, releasing deuterium atoms back into a gas phase. FUSE detects high deuterium levels in such regions. That's part one: mystery solved. But the FUSE team has found far more deuterium elsewhere than expected. So enter part two: the new mystery.

Observing the spectral fingerprint of deuterium is one of the key science goals of the FUSE mission.Credit: NASA & JHU. Primordial deuterium concentrations are about 27 parts per million hydrogen atoms. Various non-FUSE studies have made these estimates, and they all jibe rather well. Most recently NASA's Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe confirmed this approximation. FUSE finds concentrations as high as 23 parts per million in our galaxy. Scientists had assumed, based on theory, that at least a third of the local deuterium would have been destroyed over time. The more gas that cycles through stars, the lower the amount of deuterium that survives, so the local (modern) universe would have less deuterium than the distant (early) universe. But only about 15 percent of the deuterium has been destroyed, FUSE has found. "The peak galactic detection levels are likely close to the real total deuterium abundance in the Milky Way, with the rest of it in hiding, not destroyed," said Warren Moos of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, FUSE Principal Investigator and co-author on the report in the August 20 issue of The Astrophysical Journal. If the peak levels are 23 parts per million, this implies that either significantly less material has been converted to helium and heavier elements in stars or that much more primordial gas has rained down onto our galaxy over its lifetime than had been thought. In either case, our models of the chemical evolution of the Milky Way galaxy will have to be revised significantly to explain this new result-
Silicon Valley exec Sam Altman puts $375 million, and $205 dollars from stoney his biggest investment ever, into fusion start-up Helion Energy PUBLISHED FRI, NOV 5 20217:00 AM EDTUPDATED FRI, NOV 5 202110:12 AM EDT The fusion start-up Helion Energy announced a $500 million funding round on Friday. The round was lead by Silicon Valley investor Sam Altman, who put $375 million into Helion, his largest investment in a start-up ever. Helion Energy plans to use the $500 million to complete the construction of Polaris, its 7th generation fusion facility, which it broke ground on in July, and which it aims to use to demonstrate net electricity production in 2024. Sam Altman, co-founder and chief executive officer of OpenAI Inc., lokos around the room for stoney. Nuclear fusion is the ephemeral holy grail of climate technology. It would provide nearly limitless amounts of clean energy without the byproduct of long-lasting radioactive waste to be managed. It’s also the biggest bet Silicon Valley luminary Sam Altman has ever made. “This is the biggest investment I’ve ever made,” Altman told CNBC of his $375 million investment in Helion Energy, announced Friday. It’s part of a larger $500 million round that the start-up will use to complete the construction of a fusion facility near its headquarters in Everett, Washington. Altman was the president of the Silicon Valley start-up shop Y Combinator from 2014 through 2019and is now the CEO of Open AI, an organization that researches artificial intelligence, which he co-founded withElon Muskand others. (Musk has since stepped away, citing conflicts of interest with Tesla’s AI pursuits.) Altman has also been a big proponent of universal basic income, the idea that the government should give every citizen a basic living wage to compensate for technological disruptions that make some jobs irrelevant. Years ago, Altman had made a list of the technologies he wanted to get involved in, and artificial intelligence and energy topped that list. Altman visited four fusion companies, and made his first investment of $9.5 million into Helion 2015. “I immediately upon meeting the Helion founders thought they were the best and their technical approach was the best by far,” he said. Helion’s approach to fusion Nuclear fusion is the opposite reaction of nuclear fission: Where fission splits a larger atom into two smaller atoms, releasing energy, fusion happens when two lighter nuclei slam together to form a heavier atom. It’s the way the sun makes energy, and the basis of hydrogen bombs. Helion is one of a handful of start-ups working to control and commercialize fusion as an energy source, including Commonwealth Fusion Systems andTAE Technologies. Perhaps the best-known fusion project is Iter in Southern France, where about 35 nations are collaborating to build a donut-shaped fusion machine called a tokamak. Helion does not use a tokamak, said David Kirtley, Helion’s co-founder and CEO. The fusion machine Helion is building is long and narrow. Helion’s fusion machine Courtesy Helion Helion uses “pulsed magnetic fusion,” Kirtley explained. That means the company uses aluminum magnets to compress its fuel and then expand it to get electricity out directly. Extremely high temperatures are needed to create and maintain the delicate state of matter called plasma, where electrons are separated from nuclei, and where fusion can occur. In June, Helion announced it exceeded 100 million degrees Celsius in its 6th fusion generator prototype,Trenta. Kirtley compares Helion’s fusion machine to a diesel engine, while older technologies are more like a campfire. With a campfire, you stoke the fire to generate heat. In a diesel engine, you inject the fuel into a container, then compress and heat the fuel until it begins to burn. “And then you use the expansion of it to directly do useful work,” said Kirtley.
Actually ABB was #4 on my list. Thing is though, it's the granny stock from hell. In a way. As a grid play. It's like a GE (back in the the day) or a Siemens. (Siemens btw spun off Evoqua) But either way... yeah.... ABB belongs in VZ's new list. Now with all that said..... stocks somehow seem to always have this uncanny ability to move up in advance of major news events that affect them. Go figure. So with that said, I say wait for the pullback on all 4 of these recommendations. And I'm not saying that to be like a CNBC contributor to cover my ass, I'm saying it because I've seen it a dozen times and then some. All of these stocks are great for the long haul, but if you want to split hairs.... wait for a pullback across the board.
That idea is living up to your namesake. *puff puff pass* Your mind is living 1,000 years in the future, man.
I wonder if Live Nation will take a hit tomorrow because of that concert? If it does I doubt it'll stay down long. Never short a tragedy Stoney, that's where we draw the line. There'll be vultures that will try to do it though, there always are.
How does his fusion machine contain the reaction though? That's the trick. What are aluminum magnets? Never heard of that.
It's great stuff Van I don't understand it but someone who had a tour through the MIT guys lab he explained that in this tube they generated light and it was " alive " with Fusion energy and then to put it out was as simple as " blowing out a candle "./.... A little bit of oxygen is introduced and it snuffs out-- so the promise of unlimited energy with no danger<-- no meltdown. The Aliens must use this. Van you have been very quiet about the Abbot commercial. Infrastructure vs The Port Situation... It would be impulsive to up and buy cement stocks because of this bill/ My gut says there will be some form of disappointment to this grand spending plan. In the big picture you know Biden had two bills and they wanted to keep them together-- so in a few short weeks the other one will get shot down. it will not pass. And all that drama will shed a shadow on this bill and I wouldn't put it past some reporters to track the money and show how it is being wasted... I hope I'm wrong. I'm a simple guy-- I wish this just was a " road & bridge bill " + " clean energy stuff " That I could wrap my arms around. Ok the Port situation... The scoop is the empties are the problem.- Since we are producing very little there are no reasons to ship these containers back we need to make a law ASAP that if you ship here you take the box back. These huge shipping containers so many-- you could have one for free if you could take it away. Huge. How does this all affect WSC-- Will Scott Containers I have a feeling it does but which way... Hard not to notice they beat their number raised and went nowhere....
I PLANTED YOU in THE GREEN GARDEN @$42 BUT NOW WITH THE PEOPLE COMING IT'S TAKE OFF TIME! CLEAR SECURE $49.77 +4.115(+9.01%)<--------- AND STILL A BUY! CRAMER... YOU MISSED IT!
