The people at SPAWAR did not "forget" about excess heat and hot
spots. They published papers and videos showing these things. They
were the first to show hot spots, as far as I know.
In other words - for the moment - they left it behind, in the past.
They moved on to more effective, more reliable and more reproducible
tools and experiments.
I do not understand this comment. In what sense have they "moved on"?
These are the same kinds of cells they have been running all along.
It is very likely the cells are producing heat. If they are not
producing heat, they would not produce neutrons either. A person who
has not mastered the art of producing heat has not made an NAE and
will probably not see any neutrons, tritium, helium or transmutations.
In these experiments they stopped measuring heat and started
measuring neutrons instead, because you cannot easily do both. I
would not call that "moving on." It is looking at the same thing from
a different angle, as it were.
I have not heard that these experiments are more reliable or
reproducible than previous ones. They are important of course. It is
good that someone is investigating neutrons.
