Completely OT, but when the hell did the asterisk-asterisk denoter for italics become multi-line?
geuis: you should be able to fix it by adding spaces around the first asterisk, if you're so moved.
- geuis 13y agoThanks Sara. Glad I checked back in time to catch that.
- jholman 13y agoPro internet tip: use the name people have given you. In this case, either the username "saraid216", or the name given in the person's profile. And now that I've started on this topic, I'll also note that people make a lot of wrong guesses about gender, too.
- uvdiv 13y agoTo answer your question in the dead thread about the cold fusion scam: Ni-64 (n,g) Ni-65 (e-,) Cu-65 is physical, and Cu-65 has a greater binding energy than Ni-64: http://www.nndc.bnl.gov/chart/reCenter.jsp?z=28&n=36 http://www.nndc.bnl.gov/chart/reCenter.jsp?z=28&n=36 (look at Δ(MeV), the mass excess) The binding energy per nucleon is lower, as the other guy points out, but that's the wrong metric because Cu-65 has one more nucleon. The free neutron coming in has zero binding energy.

I don't remember it working differently, and I've been around for some time now (old account: https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=pygy https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=pygy)
- EGreg 13y agoThis is pretty crazy - I've been on here almost as much as you!
