Nuclear matter can roughly be thought of as liquid. It carries electric charge, and like sign charges repulse. The nucleus, therefore, tends to break
up. When it does happen, it's called "fission" -- and that force of break up is used in nuclear energy production and weaponry. Small nuclei hold
together, large ones are less stable (cf drops of water again).
The above is very well stated, and as we know nuclear fission does produce massive amounts of energy. So if in fact this element can be created, in
any form, but degrades via fission almost instantly then it is reasonable to say that if controlled by some means could be used as a power source.
The fact that we don't know how to do it, or to control it doesn't mean that it can't be done.
As a reminder to the older folk on here, back in the 70's some of us had 2 pound telephones that required being plugged into a wall to have service.
We dreamt of the day that everyone would have a phone on their hip they could take anywhere, and we were treated as fools for the suggestion.

Having studied physics off and on for years the basic problem is how to keep the protons from "fleeing" the nuclei. Liquid Nitrogen is one
possibility but containment is a problem. See, with all the protons stuffed into the nuclei they accelerate at an extreme rate, centrifical force,
this is the same thing needed to cause anti-gravity.
If you have a bicycle wheel in your hand and someone spins it very fast for you, turn it on it's side, the effect is incredible. Gyroscopes are the
only thing that work in the vacuum of space as there is no matter to "push" off of. So the only way to get momentum is to have gyroscopes and turn
them. This was what Tesla was working on. The Germans also. If you can get heavy matter to circulate in a circle fast enough and turn it a certain way
you will have anti-gravity.
The problem is getting those heavy elements to "bond" together without loosing the one neccesary part, the proton, from flying off because of the
accelerated speeds, i.e. heat. Keep it cool enough and the protons will slow down somewhat and stay. But that is also a problem, to slow and no
anti-gravity. Acceleration of the proton. Catch 22.
There have been many experiments done with liquid Nitrogen and certain magnets. The magnets will actually float and travel around an oval course (tray
of liquid Nitrogen) until the liquid burns off or evaporates.
And no you can not "create" the lesser elements from the higher ones as a result of the loss of a proton, as Newton once observed, all compositions
of matter will return to their original element when heated or burned. Because the heat causes the proton to accelerate and split/seperate into their
natural element. You can see this in metal forging. The right heat must be used to fuse elements together, go above that heat range and the elements
seperate. I'm not an expert and don't claim to be one, just studied it off and on. It's all about the math, if you can calculate it, it is relevant
and can possibly be accomplished.
