Hello group,
This is via nextbigfuture.com, thread subject included.
It appears that DARPA is spending $34 million to research LENR (among
other things) in a project on nanoscale materials, although they don't
directly state so. They managed to generate excess heat for 2.5 days.

What's interesting is the involvement with the Italian Department of
Energy. Note this accomplishment for year 2011:
- Continued quantification of material parameters that control degree of
increase in excess heat generation and life expectancy of power cells in
collaboration with the Italian Department of Energy. Established ability to
extend active heat generation time from minutes to 2.5 days for
pressure-activated power cells..
And what is planned for 2012:
- Establish scalability and scaling parameters in excess heat generation
processes in collaboration with the Italian Department of Energy.
