The 2026 "Scientific Decapitation" is no conspiracy, it’s a targeted strike on the US brain trust. From MIT fusion labs to JPL’s rocket tech, the gatekeepers of our future are being erased. Is this a silent war or a "collection" by a hidden hand? 🕵️‍♂️⚛️ #NuclearPhysics #UAP

We have one month to the 80th anniversary of nuclear bombing of Hiroshima on Aug. 6th 1945.

The Hiroshima bomb converted just 0.5 grams of matter into pure energy using Einstein’s E=mc², unleashing over 15 kilotons of TNT, enough to flatten a city.

Nuclear physicist Fay Ajzenberg-Selove evaluated & compiled data on the energy levels of light nuclei & produced ~26 major review papers--long referred to as the “nuclear scientists’ bible."

2007 Recipient, Nat'l Medal of Science for advancing #NuclearPhysics.

She died #OTD in 2012. #WomenInSTEM
A black-and-white portrait photograph of pioneering nuclear physicist Fay Ajzenberg-Selove, taken in her later career years. She is seated in a cozy, book-lined study or office, surrounded by shelves of books and framed photos on the wall behind her. She has short, neatly styled graying hair and warm, intelligent eyes, wears large, round-framed glasses that accentuate her thoughtful gaze. She has a gentle, knowing smile and is dressed in a patterned blouse or dress with a polka-dot or textured dark fabric, a small brooch or pin on her collar, and a simple necklace. Her hands rest calmly in front of her as she sits slightly turned toward the camera, exuding quiet confidence, resilience, and intellectual depth. The setting highlights her lifelong dedication to science, from her groundbreaking work on light nuclei spectroscopy to her influential compilations of nuclear data, and her advocacy for women in physics despite facing significant gender barriers in academia. The image captures her as a trailblazing figure who received the National Medal of Science in 2007 and left an enduring legacy in nuclear physics.

J. J. Thomson and F. W. Aston discovered isotopes in 1912 by observing that there were 2 different ionized neon tracks (Ne-20 & Ne-22) in their anode ray tube experiments. The tracks depend on the charge-to-mass (q/m) ratio of the ion. Ne-22 has 2 extra neutrons. #Science #Physics #NuclearPhysics 🧪⚛️

🔬 For 25 years, physicists had fully identified just ONE nucleus holding two Lambda particles.

Now RIKEN has a second. AI scanned microscope images of film with ~1M particle tracks per cm². AI narrowed it down; humans made the call.

Los Alamos and Duke scientists replicated a 1938 experiment that unknowingly detected DT fusion. Their peer-reviewed study confirms the signal and reframes a lesser-known moment in fusion history, decades before the reaction was fully understood

Canada's first female nuclear physicist Harriet Brooks (b #OTD 1876) was a researcher in the early days of nuclear science. Her work on radioactivity laid foundational groundwork for modern nuclear physics. She discovered the phenomenon of atomic recoil. But, her career ended early. #WomenInSTEM 1/2
A black-and-white portrait of nuclear physicist Harriet Brooks (1876–1933), celebrated as Canada's first female nuclear physicist who co-discovered radon gas and atomic recoil. She poses against a plain, studio backdrop, turning slightly to her left while looking off-camera. Her expression is composed and thoughtful, carrying a subtle, understated confidence. Her light-colored hair is styled in a soft, wavy updo, framing a youthful face with a clear complexion and a soft, closed-mouth smile.Brooks wears formal academic regalia, featuring a dark graduation gown with structured, pleated shoulders over a high-necked, dark turtleneck or blouse. A thick, dark fabric sash or academic hood strap with a light fur trim runs diagonally across her chest from her right shoulder. The composition centers tightly on her upper torso and head, utilizing soft studio lighting that creates a bright, dignified, and historic mood.
