Israel has done it again... outperforming Germany at its own game

But every technology has a lifespan, and eventually something will replace even fusion power. Thanks to new research published in Nature from Tel Aviv University and the University of Chicago, we may have the first look at what that far-future technology could be: quark fusion.

Quarks are the tiny particles that make up protons and neutrons, making them sort of sub-subatomic particles, also known as elementary particles. There are six kinds of quarks which combine to form all kinds of larger particles. For instance, protons and neutrons are made of different combinations of the two lightest particles, up and down quarks.

Iran has better technology already related to bending light.

unusable this milennium

gas the krauts
kikes are the true master race

Should i start storing quark to sell in the future?

This new source of energy, according to researchers Marek Karliner and Jonathan Rosner, comes from the fusion of subatomic particles known as quarks. These particles are usually produced as a result of colliding atoms that move at high speeds within the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), where these component parts split from their parent atoms. It doesn’t stop there, however, as these disassociated quarks also tend to collide with one another and fuse into particles called baryons.

It is this fusion of quarks that Karliner and Rosner focused on, as they found that this fusion is capable of producing energy even greater than what’s produced in hydrogen fusion. In particular, they studied how fused quarks configure into what’s called a doubly-charmed baryon. Fusing quarks require 130 MeV to become doubly-charmed baryons, which, in turn, releases energy that’s 12 MeV more energy. Turning their calculations to heavier bottom quarks, which need 230 MeV to fuse, they found that a resulting baryon could produce approximately 138 MeV of net energy—about eight times more than what hydrogen fusion releases.

LESS NUCLEAR THAN NUCLEAR

Karliner and Rosner were initially hesitant to publish their findings, partly because they were surprised by them but mostly because hydrogen fusion is what powers hydrogen bombs. However, their fears that this quark fusion could be weaponized soon fizzled out as they realized in subsequent experiments that quarks exist only for about one picosecond. That’s too short a time to create a chain reaction to set off more baryons, as the quarks quickly decay into less volatile, lighter quarks.

However, it’s this property that also makes this “quark fusion” still largely theoretical. “We suggest some experimental setups in which the highly exothermic nature of the fusion of two heavy-quark baryons might manifest itself,” the researchers wrote in their paper’s abstract. “At present, however, the very short lifetimes of the heavy bottom and charm quarks preclude any practical applications of such reactions.”

While the team is yet to fuse bottom quarks, which they argue is technically possible using the LHC, their study presents another potentially renewable source of energy—one that could be more powerful than any that’s currently available. With the theory largely proven, it is now only a matter of developing the technology that could turn quark fusion into a reality.

Looks like we, jews, are going to space before you.

>That’s too short a time to create a chain reaction
And straight into the trash it goes

Sure, now everyone just needs a LHC in their neighborhood. Easy, cheap and efficient.

They probably stole the ideas

>Sup Forums believes sensationalized pop sci news
No wonder this place is filled with brainlets.

the problem is that quarks are not stable and pop into and out of existence constantly. in any proton in any atom in your body or anything it could have 5 and then a instant later 7 and then another instant later 3 quarks. they dont make up matter otherwise mater would constantly be changing. they inhabit protons and neutrons

a reactor powered by them wouldnt have stable output and the reaction needs to have the energy transfered to another form like water for turbines to be powered to dissimilar metals to harvest the thermal

the output from fusion is to high to even make fusion worth using. you cant dump water on the plasma and the space created by the electro magnets is to great to get even a 70% yield of the energy created. its a joke

anything producing more evergy would be even more of a waste and any tard can see that

You don't find quarks waiting to be fused in nature, you have to produce them which takes more energy than you will get with this technology.

It's still just a fancy way to boil water.
Unless we convert 100% of heat and light to useable energy, these things will never power an interstellar starship. Also, it's not clean energy. Fusion produces a lot of neutron radiation.

>neutrons
Helium 3 nigger

I'm so glad this technology is in the hands of the most depraved race of sociopaths known to man. Feels safe man.

Wow great now how do we weaponize it

>particles that you can't separate
>that last for milliseconds, nanoseconds, even femtoseconds
This won't work. The principal behind nuclear fusion is that once you raise the energy levels of the atoms far enough, they can overcome their repulsive charge and get close enough that the strong nuclear force attracts them together and they merge.
With quarks, it doesn't work like that. The energy required to get them on their own is so massive, that when they rip out from their original place, entire new quarks are generated from the energy.

Not if we exterminate you first^

You seem clued up, would you know if there any research into looking how to transfer power from heat into electricity? Surely power generation can only get us so far until there's any advances in this tech

I hope to god you're trolling

this has known for decades there is nothing revolutionary about quark fusion, live spand of quark is too short

Is the energy barrier for this higher than D-T fusion?

If yes, then this is a waste of time as we're having a hell of a time achieving practically sustainable D-T fusion.

The prospects of D-D, He3, proton or quark fusion are poor if they demand leapfrogging out current cutting edge.

You still owe us germans alot of money, you lazy monkeys so stfu

stop bullying greece

>Owes money to the germans doesn't pay
>German women abandon their country for him
>Instead of fighting the arabs sends them to the germany.

Who exactly is loosing here Klaus?
