Neutronium (or neutrium, [1] neutrite, [2] or element zero) is a hypothetical substance made purely of neutrons. The word was coined by scientist Andreas von Antropoff in 1926 (before the 1932 discovery of the neutron ) for the hypothetical "element of atomic number zero" (with no protons in its nucleus) that he placed at the head of the ...
The planet-killer in "The Doomsday Machine" had a hull made of solid neutronium, which is capable of withstanding a starship's phasers. Neutronium is considered to be virtually indestructible; the only known way of stopping the planet-killer is to destroy it from the inside via the explosion of a starship's impulse engines.
Andreas von Antropoff (Russian: Андрей Романович Антропов; 16 August 1878, Reval, Russian Empire — 2 June 1956, Bonn) — Russian (Estonian-born) and German scientist-chemist, professor at the Bonn University and is known to have coined the term "neutronium" [1] [2] and developed a temporarily and widely used alternative periodic table of elements in 1926.
The neutron is a subatomic particle, symbol n or n 0, that has no electric charge, and a mass slightly greater than that of a proton.Protons and neutrons constitute the nuclei of atoms.
A neutron bomb, officially defined as a type of enhanced radiation weapon (ERW), is a low-yield thermonuclear weapon designed to maximize lethal neutron radiation in the immediate vicinity of the blast while minimizing the physical power of the blast itself.
Phases of nuclear matter with equal numbers of neutrons and protons; Compare with Siemens & Jensen. [1]Nuclear matter is an idealized system of interacting nucleons (protons and neutrons) that exists in several phases of exotic matter that, as of yet, are not fully established. [2]
This easy DIY tutorial helps you make a non-Newtonian liquid at home with a few simple ingredients.
Some isotopes undergo spontaneous fission (SF) with emission of neutrons.The most common spontaneous fission source is the isotope californium-252. 252 Cf and all other SF neutron sources are made by irradiating uranium or a transuranic element in a nuclear reactor, where neutrons are absorbed in the starting material and its subsequent reaction products, transmuting the starting material into ...
