Kudos are in order to Max for getting this published in Nature Sci Reps, and also for publishing it with open access.

This is a Titanium/D based system. It has been shown (reported at ICCF-17 by a Texas University PhD) that if you hit deuterated Ti, it produces neutrons. However, immediately after this paper was published, Alexander Shishkin sent me this.

"Спасибо, но это не нейтроны. Сигнал от регистрации нейтрона на рис 2 отличается от сигнала на рис 8.Такие же сигналы регистрировал Леонид Уруцкоев при взрыве титановой фольги. Он назвал их «фальшивыми» нейтронами."

Which translated says:

"Thank you, but these are not neutrons. The signal from the neutron registration in Fig 2 is different from the signal in Fig 8. The same signals were registered by Leonid Urutskoev during the explosion of titanium foil. He called them "fake" neutrons."

To give perspective, Alexander Shishkin is the expert in Russia on determining with neutron detectors the difference between the two types of signals.

Tiny bubbles rear their nano black hole-heads once again....

Constructive interference! Amazing.

"Sometimes, when the droplet size was matched with the amplitude and frequency of the acoustic drive we observed stupendous ‘secondary’ acoustic peaks that we hypothesize originated from constructive interference of the outgoing shockwaves originating from rebounding or oscillating bubbles"

I like that they chose the word "stupendous" here

Tacoma Narrows Bridge and the gentle wind-induced vibrations synchronized with the bridge’s natural frequency (its resonant frequency) - only way faster and more concentrated in its effects with the huge forces which brought down a bridge instead being focused on a tiny point

Interesting equipment which was made to read the nuclear bubbles.
