Interesting… This cited work with photonic crystals would be even more relevant if palladium hydride is a photonic crystal. Is it? It could be … but I cannot find a direct reference for that. Yet palladium as an element is photoactive, and it turns up often in a search of photonic crystals

An experiment similar to Letts-Cravens. http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/0957-4484/26/23/234002 Experimental observation of anomalous thermal radiation from a three-dimensional metallic photonic crystal Abstract We report some striking results on thermal radiation properties of a

Bob, One interpretation of the input parameters and the use of very weak lasers by L/C (comparatively) is that for them to see any anomalous thermal effect, they had to hit a special resonance frequency in order to get results. OTOH if a far more powerful laser is available and is employed –

Jones, I don't think the Letts-Cravens experiment is similar to Holmlid at all. They used two calibrated wavelength lasers superimposed on the cathode. They found that when the lasers were separated by a specific frequency difference in the 10-20 THz range, there was a peaking in the XP. For

From: Jed Rothwell I do not think there is any evidence for muons in cold fusion. JB: There is actually plenty of evidence along with plenty of data some of which was presented. You may not think the evidence is credible, but you are not a nuclear engineer ➢ People who are nuclear engineers

Here is an opinion which almost no one who is not Swedish shares, as of now. The opinion is that the bottom line for LENR (being relevant for the future) and for this being the “best” conference in a while, really boils down to one detail: muons. Nothing else which has happened in almost 30
