Here are some links for the magical properties of Lithium tantalate crystals (LiTaO3).

No information on how it could work in a starship warp drive...

Check out this lecture from UCLA, ref: neutron emission from hand held device:

https://youtu.be/i6RutDwO3XU

Lots of other info, including sonoluminescence, about unexplained phenomena that still have scientists scratching their head.

A long video, but I couldn't stop watching, even for a nature call, I had to see it till the end. I hope you find it interesting.

I've seen this someplace else. But the nuclear forces are so great that I don't think fusion has a chance. As usual, I'll await a peer review before I allow myself to get excited. It bothers me that they say a neutron beam can be directed! If so, it would have to be by physical placement, because neutrons can't be steered. And, since neutrons will interact weakly with the cancer tumor, many will pass on to interact weakly with whatever else is in line.

Did you check out the link above? It is a lecture from UCLA by a very distinguished professor, Seth Putterman.

He covers many of the topics that I posted here and also poses many questions that do not have answers at this time.
