It is possible that the lack of hydrogen absorption witnessed in the Lagano test results (appendix C) is a result of the nature of nickel micro-particles. In such particles, there are few lattice imperfections and grain boundaries present in such small particles.
The perfection in the lattice of such small particles might be an advantage of using micro-particles.
