Imaging of an active LANR quantum electronic component by CR-39

Abstract only.CR-39 has been used by gas and aqueous codeposition LANR systems. This effort examined the impact of ZrO2-PdNiD CF/LANR quantum electronic devices capable of significant energy gain upon CR-39. Chips were used at different distances, and one was placed directly over the NANOR during the irradiation sequence over several days. Examination of the processed CR-39 chips was done by sectioning each chip into 24 pixels, and a count was done by conventional optical microscopy with side imaging which separates out surface noise from deeper pits. There was a fall-off in pit count with increasing distance from the operating system. Most interestingly, the CR39 over the device essentially imaged the active CF/LANR device at very low resolution. The scalar counts of the largest and paired pits over the pixels, as we have done previously with positron emission tomography of tumors, reveal an "image" of the LANR/CF device elicited only after etching the CR-39 to derive the information "written" thereon. The conclusion is that LANR is a nuclear process, and for this system at this power level, the quantitative amount is measurable, can give a spatial image, and is biologically insignificant. In addition, integrating emission-sensitive elements can be used to image the active site of LANR systems

Review of SERS Substrates for Chemical Sensing

The SERS effect was initially discovered in the 1970s. Early research focused on understanding the phenomenon and increasing enhancement to achieve single molecule detection. From the mid-1980s to early 1990s, research started to move away from obtaining a fundamental understanding of the phenomenon to the exploration of analytical applications. At the same time, significant developments occurred in the field of photonics that led to the advent of inexpensive, robust, compact, field-deployable Raman systems. The 1990s also saw rapid development in nanoscience. This convergence of technologies (photonics and nanoscience) has led to accelerated development of SERS substrates to detect a wide range of chemical and biological analytes. It would be a monumental task to discuss all the different kinds of SERS substrates that have been explored. Likewise, it would be impossible to discuss the use of SERS for both chemical and biological detection. Instead, a review of the most common metallic (Ag, Cu, and Au) SERS substrates for chemical detection only is discussed, as well as SERS substrates that are commercially available. Other issues with SERS for chemical detection have been selectivity, reversibility, and reusability of the substrates. How these issues have been addressed is also discussed in this review

Review on SERS of Bacteria

Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has been widely used for chemical detection. Moreover, the inherent richness of the spectral data has made SERS attractive for use in detecting biological materials, including bacteria. This review discusses methods that have been used to obtain SERS spectra of bacteria. The kinds of SERS substrates employed to obtain SERS spectra are discussed as well as how bacteria interact with silver and gold nanoparticles. The roll of capping agents on Ag/Au NPs in obtaining SERS spectra is examined as well as the interpretation of the spectral data

Evidence of Nuclear Reactions in the Pd Lattice

Abstract An operating Pd//D 2 O, Li + , Cl − //Pt cell, placed in an external electrostatic field, yielded unexpected results, viz. (i) Morphological changes in the form of discrete sites exhibiting molten-like features, i.e. features that require substantial energy expenditure. (ii) Presence of elements (Al, Mg, Ca, Si, Zn, . . .) that could not be extracted from cell components and deposited on discrete sites. The cell design and the experimental protocol assuring reproducibility is described in detail
