IntroductionSalt slurries in petri dishes with methanol are ignited and characteristic colors for various metals are observed. Colors of emission spectra are due to loosely-bound valence electrons ...

The spectral emission lasted for about 40 seconds and reached a peak energy of about 12 MeV, compared to 2 or 3 MeB for visible light, per the authors. Science, 2024. DOI: 10.1126/science.adj3638 ...
