Any ideas as to why they chose Erbium for the host metal? Seems like a pretty straight forward idea. I do wonder how quickly the host metal gets consumed. On Sun, Aug 16, 2020, 11:06 PM Terry Blanton wrote: > Direct link to quote: > > https://www1.grc.nasa.gov/space/science/lattice-confinemen

They're not new. I've had copies for several years (at least 3). They are hugely detailed. Notable is the history of anomalous stuff noted 100 years ago that got forgotten once fission got discovered. Nick Palmer On the side of the Planet - and the people - because they're worth it On Wed, 19 A
