- Is there any way to acquire energy by breaking and reforming the bonds between gluons and quarks in any stable, common element such as carbon?
- How could humans work at nuclear power facilities without being exposed to harmful radiation?
- Could the proton-proton reaction realistically be manipulated to produce usable energy in nuclear power plants?
- What current projects are underway to further develop nuclear technology?
