Alpha Particle Induced Collision Cascade Fusion
Sandeep Puri, Noah D'Amico, Andrew Gillespie +4
We report experimental and computational investigations of a collision-cascade mechanism to induce deuterium-deuterium (D-D) fusion. Evidence of neutron production was observed fro…

Production of Low-Density Aerogel Nuclear Fuels for Use in Fission Fragment Rockets and Novel Reactor Design
Noah D'Amico, Sandeep Puri, Ian Jones +4
Graphene hydrogels were created and loaded with uranyl nitrate or thorium nitrate and freeze-dried to produce graphene aerogel nuclear fuels. These aerogels had densities between 0…
