Neutrons can help stop cancer from hijacking a metabolic highway, according to a new study by ORNL scientists. The study reveals how an enzyme called PDXK uses vitamin B6 to make a molecule called PLP, which is vital for the one-carbon metabolism pathway in cancer cells. The study also provides clues for designing new drugs that can block PDXK and starve the cancer cells of their resources.

Let's see.
#Tokamak is a prototype of #NuclearFusion reactor by magnetic confinement of an ionized gas at very high temperatures
Technology from late 50s.
#Stellator is another type of reactor by magnetic confinement News is that somebody has unloaded scrap metal in port of #Sevilla
Not going to be switched to anything coz with this technology, more energy is spent fusing atoms than energy that is produced,
in addition to fact that such reactions releases #neutrons and shielding is required

A new way to study #quarks, one of the building blocks of the #protons and #neutrons that make up #atomic #nuclei, is proposed. This has never been done before and doing so would help answer many fundamental questions in physics.
