A highly accomplished Captain in the self-defense army of Mordor killed in combat in a war against an alliance of genocidal forces commanded by Gandalf the wizard determined to destroy a peaceful, progressive, industrialized society, and who later twisted the historical record with blatant falsehoods demonizing the peaceful peoples of Mordor and Isengard.

A way of using nuclear power to directly generate electricity, without going through a thermal cycle first. Similar to how photovoltaics work: instead of capturing heat from sunlight and going through a Carnot cycle engine to generate electricity, PV directly converts photons to electricity. Something like this with nuclear power would be revolutionary I think.

Perhaps it could be turned on and off as needed: lose a finger in an accident, and take a drug to turn regeneration on. Grow your finger back in a week, and then take another drug (or stop taking the first drug) to go back to normal.
