I'm currently exploring a theoretical concept. My research leads me to a hypothetical method leads to what I believe is an interesting result: It is theoretically possible to fuse two ions for an energy cost that is less than the expected energy of bringing the ions closer together.
Note, this is different to quantum tunnelling which shows that particles can overcome potential barrier larger that they would not be able to classically.
This approach, while not feasible with present-day technology, raises some intriguing questions about our understanding of ion fusion processes, which I was hoping might stimulate further research. I’m currently thinking of the best way to frame the result and wanted to gauge if the result in itself is of interest.
I'm aware of the speculative nature of this inquiry, however, am interested in answers that might be of the form. “The result is interesting, even if theoretical”, “The result is not that interesting”, “The result might be of interest in specialist theoretical journals”
Thank you in advance.
