Abstract:This work experimentally shown that traces found on track detectors during the study of low-energy nuclear reactions are also formed in the course of many widely used technical processes (combustion of hydrocarbons, operation of internal combustion engines, physicochemical processes accompanying the process of charging smartphone batteries). This coincidence of the track pattern allows us to consider low-energy nuclear reactions as a significant environmental factor, and indicates the important role of “dark h… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
