Article Abstract:

The idea of the isomer-based weapons were not considered seriously until a leading proponent claimed in 1998 to have employed a dental x-ray machine for triggering the release of energy from isomers of the element hafnium. Ideas like antimatter weapons, psychic teleportation, microwaves that beam speech into the heads of unsuspecting enemies are too far-out for warranting near-term focus.
