What if the future of clean energy is actually ancient? The Thunderstorm Generator uses plasmoid reactions, sacred geometry, and toroidal plasma physics to reduce engine emissions — reportedly ...

Ever on the look-out for ultra-low radioactive materials to shield their sensitive experiments, nuclear physicists have struck gold with a consignment of lead that lay on the floor of the ...

Archaeologists and physicists both covet ancient Roman lead—for very different reasons. Old lead is pure, dense and much less radioactive than the newly mined metal, so it makes ideal shielding for ...
