An unexpected isotropic signal has been detected using those torsion angles, which correspond to a breakdown of the Local Lorentz Invariance, which was found in the past. This coincidence is interpreted as the recovery of a lost symmetry by torqueing the antenna, thus putting in evidence that this Lorentz violation is of angular nature. Introducing a new physical dimension—not only a mathematical dimension as a way to rearrange some equations—is here proposed as a general rule to recover the lost symmetry.

The application of ultrasounds for 200 s resulted in the partial disappearance of about 13% of the radioactive Ni-63 nuclei and the appearance of nonradioactive elements. The formation of new elements, not belonging to the decay chain of Nickel-63, is a strong issue where strong nuclear reactions transform Nickel into different elements rather than the usual weak interaction, responsible for the decay, which is accelerated. This way, the time necessary to halve the intensity is shortened by about 20 years, without altering the Ni-63 decay constant, which is [Formula: see text] years. Two cases producing similar effects in other radioactive systems after ultrasound treatment are described in the literature and support this finding, which is not forecast by the commonly accepted theories. A theory able to explain these a...

In this framework, the feasibility of the deactivation of radionuclides is investigated. This paper reports the deactivation of nickel nitrate made of radioactive Nickel-63 in nitric acid by using ultrasounds. From the applicative point of view, it is a more realistic system then the previously considered thorium, not only because the molecule and the system are more complex but also because the problems related to the high corrosion and radioactivity have been treated at the same time, thus miming realistic situations like those of deactivation of nuclear waste.

We propose a possible mechanism for the explanation of these findings, that is constituted by two parts: a classical one, based on the bubble implosion due to cavitation, and a non-classical, related to a possible breakdown of Lorentz invariance for nuclear interactions. Such a mechanism allows one to get precise predictions on the values of energy and power needed to carry out experiments with the commercially available sonotrodes and to get piezonuclear reactions in a reproducible way.

This result agrees with the alteration of the secular equilibrium of thorium-234 obtained by a Russian team via explosion of titanium foils in water and solutions. These evidences further support some preliminary clues for the possibility of piezonuclear reactions (namely nuclear reactions induced by pressure waves) obtained in the last ten years.
