The 2012 Nobel prize physics was awarded to the two workers who have invented inovative measurement techniques for subatomic particles. This type of quantum measurement research is the most difficult stuff one can do in science and the most important.
See 2012 Nobel prize physics http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/10/the-nobel-prize-physics-explained-simply_n_1955306.html This quantum behavior of subatomic particles makes LENR a most difficult subject to get our arms around both in terms of understanding and engineering.
