A pre-print is available of the paper An Experimental Study on Deuterium Production from Titanium Hydride Powders Subjected to Thermal Cycles by Luca Gamberale of University Milano-Bicocca and Giovanni Mondonese of Free University of Bozan-Bolzano.
From the Abstract: An extensive multi-year experimental study was conducted to investigate the potential production of deuterium from titanium hydride (TiHx) powders subjected to specific thermal cycles. The results reveal an anomaly in the deuterium-to-hydrogen ratios. Mass spectrometry analyses show an increase in deuterium abundance, with three independent methods confirming the excess deuterium. This study was motivated by theoretical predictions suggesting the generation of slow neutrons within metal hydrides when exposed to coherent excitations. Our findings align with direct measurements of neutron emission by TiHx powders under cavitation in liquid water, as recently published by Fomitchev-Zamilov. Read the full text here.
Exploring Helium Retention from Technical Materials: Development and Investigation by Andrew K. Gillespie, Cuikun Lin, Django Jones, Sandeep Puri, and R.V. Duncan is published on ScienceDirect here.
From the Introduction: …Within the LENR community, researchers have been actively searching for the presence of helium-4 as a crucial signature and evidence of nuclear reactions. This is particularly important for correlating helium measurements with excess heat observations. However, several challenges arise in this pursuit. It’s known that ambient air naturally contains helium at a concentration of approximately 5.2 parts per million (ppm). Consequently, helium can easily diffuse or be absorbed into experimental apparatus, leading to contamination that may significantly impact the obtained results.
In this study, various metals including palladium, stainless steel, and platinum, as well as polymers and ceramics such as Nylon and PTFE underwent testing to assess helium retention characteristics before heating, after heating, or during complete evaporation of the technical materials. Of particular focus were metals like stainless steel (SS) and palladium (Pd), aiming to precisely quantify trapped helium within wire lengths through heating beyond their respective evaporation thresholds.
Anthropocene Institute (AI) reports on the Accelerating Deployment of Versatile, Advanced Nuclear for Clean Energy (ADVANCE) Act, a new U.S. law signed by President Biden to “boost” nuclear energy in the States. The rare bi-partisan legislation passed the U.S. Senate by a vote of 88-2 and the House by 393-13. [read the breakdown]
Anthropocene Institute co-sponsored the ARPA-E Technology Showcase hosted at Capitol Hill’s Senate Office Building, and AI’s Hilda Palencia attended. Director of ARPA-E Dr. Evelyn Wang delivered an introduction to the event. See photos and a listing of the ARPA-e projects showcased here.
Members of Anthropocene Institute’s Solid State Fusion (SSF) team participated in the American Nuclear Society (ANS) meeting held in Las Vegas where a session dedicated to Low-Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR) was held. [program] Five different research groups presented, including groups affiliated with Tohoku University, National Taiwan University, National Taiwan Normal University, NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, and the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur.

MIT is seeking a POSTDOCTORAL ASSOCIATE to join an interdisciplinary research team investigating low-energy nuclear reactions in an ARPA-E research program for the Materials Science and Engineering (DMSE) and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS)-Yet-Ming Chiang Group and Quantum Energy Science Group. The work will investigate reports of purported nuclear binding energy release in metal hydrogen systems from low-energy stimuli such as laser pulses, induced phase transitions, etc. Find out more and apply here.

Hindu businessline reports HYLENR demonstrates cold fusion technology to generate clean energy [read]. From the article: …”In a live demonstration here, the product achieved a consistent 1.5x heat amplification (150 watts equivalent heat) from a 100W electrical input. Mahankali Srinivas Rao, CEO, T-HUB, formally launched the product in the presence of the founders of HYLENR.”
…”Siddhartha Durairajan, Chief Executive Officer for HYLENR said: “The patent for the product validates the inventiveness of the technology, and the viability of integrating LENR with existing power generation systems to enhance efficiency and reduce reliance on traditional energy sources. The proposed approach leverages LENR to amplify electricity from renewable and non-renewable sources, ultimately aiming for a 2.5 times power output increase.”

Frontiers in Nature June 24, 2024 — Conservation Imperatives: securing the last unprotected terrestrial sites harboring irreplaceable biodiversity
From the Abstract: Ambitious biodiversity goals to protect 30% or more of the Earth’s surface by 2030 (30×30) require strategic near-term targets. To define areas that must be protected to prevent the most likely and imminent extinctions, we propose Conservation Imperatives—16,825 unprotected sites spanning ~164 Mha of the terrestrial realm that harbor rare and threatened species. We estimate that protecting the Conservation Imperatives would cost approximately US$169 billion (90% probability: US$146—US$228 billion). Globally, 38% of the 16,825 sites are either adjacent to or within 2.5 km of an existing protected area, potentially reducing land acquisition and management costs. These sites should be prioritized for conservation action over the next 5 years as part of a broader strategy to expand the global protected area network. The expansion of global protected areas between 2018 and 2023 incorporated only 7% of sites harboring range-limited and threatened species, highlighting a renewed urgency to conserve these habitats. Permanently protecting only 0.74% of land found in the tropics, where Conservation Imperatives are concentrated, could prevent the majority of predicted near-term extinctions once adequately resourced. We estimate this cost to be from US$29 billion to US$46 billion per year over the next 5 years. Multiple approaches will be required to meet long-term protection goals: providing rights and titles to Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs) conserving traditional lands, government designation of new protected areas on federal and state lands, and land purchase or long-term leasing of privately held lands.
