Part 3/5:
In fact, this was even before Professor Francesco Pons conducted his serendipitous experiment that discovered the nickel-hydrogen system. Dr. Matsumoto's work was eventually published in December 1989, demonstrating the early contributions he made to this field.
Groundbreaking Insights on Element Formation
The closing arguments of Matsumoto’s paper left an indelible impression on me. They suggested that extremely high concentrations of neutrons could enable the production of stable isotopes like carbon-12, nitrogen-14, and oxygen-16 through a single reaction of many-body fusions.
