ENORMOUS ENERGY DENSITY. “The reaction of 1 kg of antimatter with 1 kg of matter would produce 1.8×10(17) J (180 petajoules) of energy (by the mass–energy equivalence formula, E=mc2), or the rough equivalent of 43 megatons of TNT – slightly less than the yield of the 27,000 kg Tsar Bomba, the largest thermonuclear weapon ever detonated.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter View in LinkedIn

MILITARY USES. “Antimatter has been considered as a trigger mechanism for nuclear weapons. A major obstacle is the difficulty of producing antimatter in large enough quantities, and there is no evidence that it will ever be feasible. Nonetheless, the U.S. Air Force funded studies of the physics of antimatter in the Cold War, and began considering its possible use in weapons, not just as a trigger, but as the explosive itself.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter View in LinkedIn

THE PROTON is one of the simplest forms of subatomic particles of normal baryonic matter. “A proton is a subatomic particle, symbol p or p+, with a positive electric charge of +1e elementary charge and a mass slightly less than that of a neutron. Protons and neutrons, each with masses of approximately one atomic mass unit, are jointly referred to as "nucleons" (particles present in atomic nuclei). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton View in LinkedIn

THE PROTON. “In chemistry, the term proton refers to the hydrogen ion, H+ Since the atomic number of hydrogen is 1, a hydrogen ion has no electrons and corresponds to a bare nucleus, consisting of a proton (and 0 neutrons for the most abundant isotope protium).” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton View in LinkedIn

LIMITS OF PHYSICS. “Human physics computability is limited by the degree of accuracy of a measurement. However, the universe has no such limitation. Mathematics starts with human assumptions, not physical assumptions.” https://lnkd.in/gh8MTYYs View in LinkedIn

FRAGMENT FROM NATURE focuses on some unusual Japanese research on photons, dressed photons and soft photons. While we still have a poor understanding of the nature of light, this research proves that it is not necessary to fully understand a system in order to exploit it for practical purposes.

THE LEAD AUTHOR, Hirofumi Sakuma works at the Research Origin for Dressed Photon, at the Yokohama Technology Center, NICHA Corporation, Yokohama-shi in Japan. His publications all focus on dressed photons. " " https://lnkd.in/deurYDNK View in LinkedIn

THE SENIOR AUTHOR, Hiroyuki Ochiai, is a mathematician associated with Kyushu University, and has published on diverse mathematical issues including tiling, lie symmetry fractals and other very interesting topics. https://lnkd.in/d2_j9__K View in LinkedIn

APPLICATIONS. Dressed photons have practical applications. “They are applications of dressed photons to novel optical functional devices, nano-fabrication technologies, energy conversion technologies, and photon breeding devices.” They represent a new paradigm in this field of physics. https://lnkd.in/dpsM58Ep View in LinkedIn
