Superheavy, artificial elements can use for gamma- or X-ray stroboscopes. Or in extremely powerful nuclear reactors.

   

Superheavy, artificial elements can use for gamma- or X-ray stroboscopes. Or in extremely powerful nuclear reactors. 



There are many hypothetical places where synthetic elements can use. But the thing that limits their use is the short half-life. That thing means that those extremely heavy radioactive elements can store in particle accelerators or electromagnetic radiation. Which pushes those atoms to one piece will deny their splitting or natural fission of those atoms. 

But it all started when Technetium was first time produced in 1937 by Emilio Segrè (1905-1989) and Carlo Perrier (1886-1948). The first synthetic element in the world is Technetium. That element shows that there is possible to create synthetic elements. Like Dmitri Mendeev (1834-1907) predicted in 1871. Technetium is used as a gamma-ray source and for radioactive medical work.

The use of super-heavy elements is a very limited thing. The super heavy or synthetic elements are extremely short-living. Most of them are coming after Uranium except Technetium element number 43. Technetium is the first of synthetic elements in the world. Technetium is used in some sensors. As the radiation source. 

There is a long list of use of that synthetic radioactive element. The fact is Technetium is found in nature. It's the product of the natural fission of Uranium 238, or it's also in the giant stars. 

Plutonium is used in nuclear weapons. But it could also use in small and powerful nuclear reactors. There are small numbers of Plutonium in nature. But most of it is synthetically produced. 

All elements, which are heavier than Uranium are synthetic. Or are found in very small numbers in places like deep minings or heavy stars. Artificial radioactive elements and isotopes are made from other elements. By using neutron or ion bombardment. The researchers require a particle accelerator for creating the heaviest particles in the world. 

In those systems, the particle accelerator drives ionized elements together. And the heavy particle fusion creates new elements. Sometimes people are asked why Uranium 235 turns to heavier element Plutonium 239 during fission? 

The fact is that the element that turns to Plutonium 239 is Uranium 238 which catches one neutron during nuclear fission. So the Uranium 235 is impacting with neutrons the product of the fission are  Iodine-131, Cesium-137, and Strontium-90. The bombardment of Uranium 238 creates Plutonium 239. 

The super-heavy elements, like Oganesson, is the heaviest known element. It is predicted to be a noble gas. And the last in the periodic table of elements with the number 118 has half-time 0,69 ms. The thing is that this kind of very short-living radioactive element has one use. Those kinds of elements can use in X- or gamma-ray stroboscopes. 

Then that kind of element has an extremely short half-time is released to the front of the sensor it will send short-periodic gamma- or x-ray bursts. And those flashes can be used as gamma- or X-ray sources in stroboscopes that are detecting extremely short-period reactions. 

A thing that makes those particles so unstable is their extremely big atom weight. The oscillation in the nuclei of the atoms is so strong that the electron cores cannot keep protons and neutrons together. And that causes the effect where atoms are splitting. 

Sometimes is introduced an idea that increasing the electrons around the nuclei of those super heavy particles is making those particles more stable. Or in some other ideas, the powerful laser or other electromagnetic fields are used to push those Moscovium and Oganesson atoms and that pressure can stabilize them. 


Moscovium and "anti-gravity".



In that case, element 115 or Moscovium is used in the systems that can levitate over the ground. The system would use super-heavy elements for creating antimatter. But the thing is that those systems would be only theoretical use of those elements. 

The thing is that elements like Oganesson and Moscovium which is element 115, can be used in extremely small-size nuclear reactors. The system would use the particle accelerator for causing the time dilation which stores those elements for storing them. 

There are many stories about the use of especially element 115 in "anti-gravity" The fact is that the short half-time will make the use of those elements as a fuel in a nuclear reactor. But if the stabilization can be made those elements could give a very high power for the air- and spacecraft. 

The thing is that the element 115 can simply spray into the air. And then that short-living element can create the radiation that pushes the craft forward. When the element 115 will spray under the craft.  

There could be an antimatter collector. In that system, the beta-radiation will impact the gold leaf. And then that thing would turn at least part of those particles into antimatter. This kind of system would be very capable of orbital flights.  But also extremely difficult to make because of the short-half time of the used elements. So making that system is not impossible. But storing and producing that element is difficult.

The new fusion system is always fundamental. But the problem is that nobody has experience with fusion reactors.

 

The new fusion system is always fundamental. But the problem is that nobody has experience with fusion reactors. 


Fusion systems are good-looking things. Always when the new fusion test system is coming to the publicity. They are promising a big advantage. But then the systems are left without a final breakthrough. The self-sustaining fusion reaction has not been successful. 

The problem is that the temperature of the system is so high. And the magnets that are keeping the plasma levitating turning hot. The magnets are pressing plasma to high pressure. And microwave and laser systems are stressing it.

The problem with the fusion reactor is that. The pressure in the reactor is lower than in the nucleus of the Sun. So the lower pressure must compensate by raising the temperature of the fuel higher than the nucleus of the Sun. And that thing is the problem. The structures of the reactor are facing extreme thermal stress. 

The fusion system bases the idea of the torus-shaped reactor or accelerator where the plasma is hovering without contact with the wall of the system. If the plasma will contact the wall that thing melts the reactor right away. The fusion reactor is not itself make radioactive material. But the problem is that the high-temperature plasma would destroy if its leaks outside the reactor chamber. 

The fusion system is the most promising of the futuristic systems. Fusion energy is used in hydrogen bombs. But the commercial and peaceful use of this energy source is not successful. Fusion requires so much energy. That in weapons it is normally made by using the fission bomb.

But in fusion reactors. There is needed some other system that ignites the fuel. The laser rays or microwaves are the most promising things along with ionized fuel. In ionized reactors, two different polar rays will put to travel in opposite directions. The friction will raise the temperature along with electromagnetic stress to the levels that make the fusion possible.  

In some visions, the sodium and chloride ions that are forming salt in nature. Would put to impact in the reactor chamber. In that process, those ions are sprayed into the reactor chamber. By using particle accelerators. And then to those ions will stress the high-power laser and microwave radiation. In that process, the system would melt those atoms together and make the hot sodium-chlorine process. But normally the particles that are impacting in fusion reactors are lighter. 

Fusion energy is promising. But nobody knows when the first commercial reactors are starting to produce electricity. 

While we are waiting for fusion energy we should think about the latest fission technology. In some visions, the fission reactors of the future use thorium-based fuel. They would have a modular structure which means the single reactor units are smaller. But there are more nuclear reactors in the plant. And those systems would be underground which protects them against things like terror strikes. 

And that's why the people who are making decisions about energy strategies should invest also in things like thorium-fission reactors and a new type of location of nuclear reactors. In the new visions, the nuclear reactors will bury kilometers depth underground to the artificial caves. That thing would make them safer.

The use of "fast neutrons" to transmit data has been successful.



Engineers have successfully transferred digitally encoded information wirelessly using nuclear radiation instead of conventional technology. Researchers made that test at Lancaster University. In that test, the neutrons transmitted data. Then the same data is saved in a laptop computer. 

Researchers of the Lancaster university UK haven been transmitted data by using radioactive radiation or sharper saying: the fast neutrons which source was Californium-252 isotope. The neutrons transmitted data wirelessly to the sensor. And that data is recorded by using the laptop.

Californium-252 is a synthetic isotope of the artificial element. And that means this kind of technology can use in long-term data transmission. If the oscillation circuit of the radio transmitter uses Californium as the oscillation crystal. 

That thing allows making an extremely safe communication line. No other element can create the same frequency. And that means the eavesdropper of the communication requires the highly radioactive Californium element. 

If the oscillation crystal is made by using synthetic isotopes like Californium. That means there are no natural sources for the same radiofrequency. And that thing will make it impossible to jam the communication that bases on this kind of system. 




The virtual qubits are possible to make by using multi-channel radio transmitters. But the problem is how to secure the data in the radio waves? One possibility is to replace quartz oscillation crystals by using some synthetic radioactive element. 

There are two ways to make the data transmitting by using neutrons. Another is to shoot the neutron itself to the sensor. And then it would release its data in the form of radiation. Another way is to anneal neutrons by using the laser. That thing means that the laser will load the neutron with energy. 


And then the neutron will release extra energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. The data transmission would happen by using the superposition of neutrons. Or the neutron can turn to qubits. 


The technology where neutrons are sending electromagnetic radiation is used in neutron bombs. The nuclear detonator will load energy to neutrons. And then the radiation that is released when neutrons are removing extra energy from them is kicking neutrons out of the structure.

The quantum annealing-based system means that neutrons are like small-size lamps. When those lamps are stressed with the energy they are sending radiation. Neutrons would be perfect data transporters. 

They are neutral for electromagnetic fields. And they are quite a large size. But transporting data by using neutrons needs free neutrons. The quantum annealing makes it possible that neutrons are sending data in the form of electromagnetic radiation. But data transportation by using neutrons requires free neutrons as I wrote. That means the qubit must build inside the nuclear reactor. If that thing is made. 

This allows making a safe quantum data transportation system. If the quantum annealing-based quantum computer can create in the nuclear reactor. That thing allows creating extremely safe communication lines between ground stations and nuclear submarines. 

Even if the radio communication happens by using the traditional radio waves. The researchers can replace quartz crystals by using some synthetic elements like Californium or Neptunium. That means there is no way to make similar oscillation circuits without those synthetic highly radioactive isotopes. That thing will make secured communication between the nuclear submarines and ground stations possible.
