 Excerpts:
  "It sounds like science fiction - an X-ray camera that is not only detailed enough to capture pictures of individual atoms but that can even document the course of chemical reactions as they are happening"

 "It's barely a year since the European XFEL (X-Ray Free-Electron Laser) was launched, with the first scientists getting their "beam time."
Excerpts:
 “X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) are novel X-ray sources that provide femtosecond pulses of a peak brilliance that exceeds that of synchrotron sources by nine orders of magnitude… allowing the investigation of the dynamics of matter in a time-resolved manner1,2,3, and enables the analysis of highly radiation-sensitive objects.”  Such as LENR

  "Teams of scientists from 35 universities and research institutions from all over the world are currently conducting research at the European XFEL.. The first two groups of researchers who' ve gotten access to the labs in 2017 also included a team around Australia' s Anton Barty. Another group was led by Polish researcher Wojciech Gawelda... British and Russian scientists have also received early research time."

 Within a couple of years we should have "molecular movies" and -if Martin Fleishman Memorial Project, BrilliantLightPower and Leonardo are granted beam time- the means to derive an evidence-based theory for LENR.

 Update # 1

 "The UK's Science Minister, Sam Gyimah, said: "The incredible XFEL will help us better understand life threatening diseases by using one of the world's most powerful X-ray machines. Working with our international partners, the super-strength laser will help develop new medical treatments and therapies, potentially saving thousands of lives across the world."

Update #2  UK Hopes hopes to Secure Dedicated XFEL Beamline

Non-European scientists will not likely get
much "hands-on" beam time.

LENR Claimed to Work --Future cities about to blossom

Note:  An earlier version of this post appeared on  E-CatWorld* forum. . .    Quote at a demo  of an operating E-cat in a factory setting: h ttp://www.ecatskdemo.com/  "L earn how your company can benefit from the clean, cost-efficient heat produced by this revolutionary industrial heating system." Initially , Leonardo Corporation is looking for  large industrial customers , such as district heating and cement plants.      Continued use of fossil fuels and radioactive nuclear plants are the biggest risks to human health and safety. Yet, those invested in fossil fuels and nuclear have trouble acknowledging real hazards involved with polluted air and water and inevitable ageing nuclear reactor failure. In any case, to minimize disasters, nations have to forget further hot fission/fusion research, and get serious about deploying cheap, non-polluting and radiation-free energy.   With ever-escalating electricity costs, c hange agents have to push hard for affordable ne

Deteriorating Nuclear Plants -Crying Wolf or Gambling

                      Deteriorating Nuclear Plants   -Crying Wolf  or Gambling   Recognizing Ontario's Bruce nuclear plant similarity in size and vintage to the Fukushima one, we must weigh potential impacts of damages of a volume of Fukushima-type radioactive leakage into the Pacific Ocean compared to a similar volume of radioactive contaminants spilling into the much smaller Great Lakes (Canada/US) fresh water system.  If you are one of the captive Canadian and American millions breathing air, drinking water and snoozing down stream or down wind  of "The Bruce Colossus" read on -and spread the alarm in a time of stubborn inaction.   "Nuclear reactors need to be located near a massive body of coolant water, but away from dense population zones and natural disaster zones. Every nuclear power station needs to be decommissioned after 40-60 years of operation due to neutron embrittlement - cracks that develop on the metal surfaces due to radiation. Currently, i

Growth and Transportation in Sourh West Ontario

Explosive economic growth across the Greater Toronto Area plus the sudden spurt of new subdivisions in towns and villages, prompts revival of a proposal for a Southern Georgin Bay Freeway. Within a generation the motor replaced the horse. Soon the gasoline and diesel that fuels today's engines will be replaced. So, don't feel guilty about your present mobility; just be prepared to welcome clean electricity and non-polluting motive power -and support staking out a future trade corridor well north of Toronto, London and Woodstock. Back in the 1950's many communities north of the GTA lost their rail connections and high schools. County and small town employment suffered as did maintenance of transportation infrastructure; provincial downloading ensured neglect of rural bridge maintenance. Attempted highway incursions into the Green Belt have to be resisted. Ultimately, a new 400 series Freeway (together with new smart towns) have to be planned across the souther
