And a free neutron, right?

So, the neutron contains 80% of the energy released by the fusion reaction.

And it also, because it lacks a charge, it basically tends to just escape and go flying out.

So, this is what we would use eventually for.

that's mostly what fusion energy would be.

But so what my, my colleagues, my scientific colleagues at, at, at the plasma science and fusion center built were extraordinary measurement tools of being able to see the exact details of not only the number of neutrons that were coming out, but actually what energy that they're at.

And by looking at that, that configuration, it reveals enormous.

I'm not going to, I'm not going to scoop them because they need to publish the paper, but

It reveals enormous amounts of scientific information about what's happening in that process that I just described.

So exciting.

I mean, and I have, you know, I have colleagues there that have worked like for 30 years on this for that moment.

Of course you're excited for them.

I mean, and it's one of those, like, there is nothing, it's hard to describe to people who aren't, it's like almost addicting to be a scientist when you get to be at the forefront of research of anything.

Yeah.

Like when you see like an actual discovery of some kind and you're looking at it, particularly when you're the person who did it, right?

And you go, no human being has ever seen this or understood this.

It's like, it's pretty thrilling, right?

So even in proxy, it's incredibly thrilling to see this happening.

It's not, I don't want to say it's rivalry or jealousy.

It's like, I can tell you already, fusion is really hard.
