Super-capacitor-like Structure for Fission-Fusion Direct Nuclear Energy Conversion

Popa-Simil L., LAOS - Los Alamos Academy of Sciences, US

Direct nuclear energy conversion system uses nano-hetero-structures that harvest the nuclear particles energy, charging a structure resembling a super-capacitor, that discharges releasing it as electric energy. The nano-structure design uses heterogeneity, in order to create [...]

Nuclear Reaction Control and Shielding Systems based on Radiation Guiding in Active Nano-Structures

Popa-Simil L., LAOS - Los Alamos Academy of Sciences, US

The actual nuclear reactors are using heavy concrete shielding, in order to reduce the radiation outside the active zone. The main radiation attenuation method is called mass-attenuation, because no matter (with some approximation) what material [...]

Radiation-Damage Robust, Engineered, Self-repairing Meso-Materials

Popa-Simil L., LAOS - Los Alamos Academy of Sciences, US

Nuclear power is one of the most compact, long lasting and might be the most safe and environmentally friendly energy source if it might be done right, by achieving the harmony between the nuclear reactions [...]

Supercapacitor like structure for micro-battery and radiation energy harvesting tile

Popa-Simil I.L., Popa-Simil L., Popa-Simil I.L., Popa-Simil L., LAVM Llc., US

The usage of hetero-nano-layers to harvest the energy deposited in ionization by the stopping particles and radiation passing through the layers produces very efficient and compact solid-state battery devices. The structure in its simplest forms [...]

Multiband THz detection and imaging devices

Popa-Simil I.L., Popa-Simil L., Popa-Simil I.L., Popa-Simil L., LAVM Llc., US

Terahertz imaging finds more and more applications in homeland security, medical, and life sciences applications. While THz sources and detection systems are gaining ground, the ability of electronics conversion systems to keep up with the [...]

Nano hetero nuclear fuel structure

Popa-Simil L., LAVM, Inc., US

The direct energy conversion of nuclear energy requires nano-structured nuclear fuel. The principle of the radiation energy direct conversion is the usage of the knock-on electrons produced by the moving particle interaction with the lattice. [...]

Nano-structures materials for Energy Direct Conversion and Fuel Breeding

Popa-Simil L., LAVM Llc., US

The new developments in nano-structures and high-energy superconductors open the road for better nuclear energy. A new family of new nuclear fuels as well as energy harvesting blankets to be used as active shielding in [...]

Nano-Hetero Structure for direct energy conversion

Popa-Simil L., LAVM, Inc., US

The direct conversion of nuclear energy becomes possible in hetero-nanostructures. To convert the kinetic energy of the fission product into electricity it has to be created a nanostructure formed from a repetitive conductor-insulator structure generically [...]
