So - "Four years ago scientists at U/Texas showed how to trigger a
change in half-life." Funny we never read about it in Science, Science
News, Nature or Scientific American nor has the Nobel Committee acted
on this. Nothing (other than the

Scientists of Institute for Transuran in Karsruhe Germany reduced the
decay
period of Jod128 from million years to a couple of minutes using laser
pulses,but they did not get any nobel prize either.


Last I heard the highest number transuranic element was 118 and its
half life was less than a millisecond.

You've been hallucinating again Denyav

It proves that your knowledge base needs updating Jod128 is highly radioactive
by-product of nuclear reactors,it decays into stabile Jod129 in million years.
Karlsruhe scientists shortened this process to a few minutes using laser
pulses.
If Karlsruhe is too far for you, you might want to contact University of
Strathclyde in Glasgow,Glasgow scientists were also equally succesful in this
issue.(They did not get any Nobel Prize either!)

What they did at Strathclyde was speed up the decay
of IODINE 129 to iodine 128

That element is represented by the letter I

At least try and get some of the basics right when you bull****
there's a good chap.

When I speak about Karlsruhe experiment I used German word for that.


The paper published by the group in the Journal of Physics
did not use the German word however and the work was carried out by
a consortium from the University of Strathclyde, Imperial College London,
Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, ITU Karlsruhe and the University of Jena

Yes they did exactly that,or more precisely, shortened decaying time from
15,000,000 years to 25 minutes.
Karlsruhe team was even a little bit more succesful.

So from 15,000,000 years to a couple of minutes,you can call it a pretty
good
acceleration.


The trouble is they used a hell of a lot of power in the
process 5x1020 Watts per square centimetre to be precise.

They are going to have to reduce that by several orders of
magnitude for commercial use.

Correct.

Thats correct too,but "military" priorities and spending habits are a little
bit different from commercial ones.
Thats the probably reason why military was many times in the history the first
user of advanced technologies .
