In essence, what Jojo is proposing is his own version of a "Designer" material. It would prove doubtful that carbon nanotubes would end up being the preferred substrate for LENR in the future, due to cost compared to simple Nickel or even Palladium. One of the things that needs to be considered is whether the LENR reaction transfers its energy to the substrate in the form of heat. If it's not set up right, it could emit a gamma ray. Once again, we see that perhaps Steven Chu is the right person to approach at this time. According to Wikipedia, he studied FRET. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Chu In the field of biological physics, he studied enzyme activity and protein and RNA folding using techniques such as fluorescence resonance energy transfer,

But we can do what we want to do if we take another tack. At the end of the day, the formation of an entangled ensemble of particles is a great multiplier of LENR subatomic manipulation. But at the most fundamental level, it’s all about control of electrons. At the broadest level of explanation, cold fusion is a result of the heavy compression of electrons to such a high level that their mutually repulsive forces overlap causing the various quantum constituents to disaggregate into separated piles of quantum waves: charge, spin, orbit(aka, angular momentum). Electric charge is stripped en mass from the rest and the location and activity of these waves are distinct and removed to a distance from their originating particles. This compression of such an energetic and chaotic electron fluid is not easy to do because the electrons are so small and slippery. In an analogy, both water and CO2 can be maintained in a liquid state if it is confined and constrained by enough pressure within a pressure vessel with thick steel walls.. Confining electrons together to prohibit the electrons following their usual state of free motion requires special materials configured in just the right way. When this chaotic electron fluid is tamed in this way, coherent waves of charge will form. It is this pressure exerted on electrons that cause their charge to disaggregate and dislocate from liked charge particles. And it is the concentrated action of these waves of charge that take down the coulomb barrier. But it's not easy to squeeze the energetic electrons together, because these tiny particles can leak away into even the tiniest holes of a lattice of atoms. And even under pressure, the electrons must also be able to move. They cannot be frozen solid in place as happens in a Mott insulator. To engineer a situation where electron movement is strongly restricted in just the right way, one must look toward the newly evolving field of materials engineering: topological materials. The chemical organization of topological materials, their size and shape of certain combinations of atoms and their positions relative to each other will project electromagnetic force to break apart electrons and protons into their most elemental quantum mechanical parts. Just in the last few years, one and two dimensional materials have been discovered and strange new classes of matter are being formed. These designer materials can produce factional angular momentum, the magnetic monopole and the Majorana particle…A particle that is its own antiparticle and thus capable of self – annihilation…but these new creations can only exist in their own very special atomic topological neighborhood. "Designer" materials made of superatoms and long atomic strings could have combinations of physical properties that don't exist in nature. We can produce an ultra-cold condensate at 700C, As Kit Bowen, a chemical physicist at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, puts it, it's as if you felt like eating something hot and something cold at the same time, and could have it both ways. "Like a hot-fudge sundae." Cheers: Axil
