Axil, it seems to touch on and connect many of the sweet spots being pursued here on vortex. I continue to follow everything you and Jones write wrt polaritons and plasmons as I am convinced it is the linkage between scales that allows the anomalous heat to be exported and controlled – the article makes it clear that polaritons are difficult to create synchronize and normally want to cancel by going in opposite directions – layering of powder geometries may give some small bias but this new laser sounds like a tool that we want to test on LENR to see if large scale control of polariton direction and synchronization can be employed for finer/faster control of the reaction.
