oops before that message went out, I remembered that Kucherov passed
away prematurely a few years ago. Apologies.

Cheers indeed. We wish that Mark's grapevine was a little riper. I
have no idea what the details of this SKINR research consist of, but
let me put forth a guess, more like a hope or some wishful thinking
about what they could be doing - which would have the maximum impact
on state of the art.
The future of LENR looks to me like it is going to involve laser
irradiation. This expectation goes well beyond the work of Holmlid -
which begs to be replicated. There is no indication that anyone who is
well-funded is even attempting replication or their own experiments
with lasers, however. The hope is that there is work going on which is
under the radar despite a recent paper on a failure to replicate the
Letts/Cravens effect.
As it turns out, Graham Hubler (many years ago) was considered a
leading expert in pulsed laser deposition. He authored textbooks on
the subject back in the 1990s. He also teamed with Yan Kucherovon a
number of patents, and he too is an expert on pulsed lasers. There is
no indication that this expertise with lasers in being used presently,
however.
With or without lasers, let's hope this effort bears fruit and turns a
bad year into a great vintage.
