The spotlight shines on a nuclear influencer
Brazilian model, nuclear advocate, and philanthropist Isabelle Boemeke, who the online TED lecture series describes as “the world’s first nuclear energy influencer,” was the subject of a recent New York Times article that explored her ardent support for and advocacy of nuclear technology.

The behavior of ions confined by means of quadrupolar electrodynamic containment around palladium lattice tetrahedral sites is discussed. Ion confinement in a quadrupolar trap is known to be strongly influenced by initial conditions and trap parameters. The system studied is a lattice ion trap for deuterons, supposing they occupy the tetrahedral sites over a certain concentration. The electron motions seem to have a dominant role in the dynamics of two deuterons moving around such lattice sites. A computer simulation describes the deuteron dynamics and reveals an approach mechanism that could dramatically decrease the mean distance between two positive charges embedded in a lattice.
