It is becoming clear that the LENR reaction involves high pressure chemistry to generate metalized compounds involved in the production of the superconductivity and electromagnetic ordering required in exploiting chemical based nuclear effects.
The question that now needs to be answered through research is how self-assembly of chemical compounds operating at room temperature can generate nanostructures that generate high pressure molecular characteristics at room temperatures.
For example, carbon nanotubes must be grown on a particular substrate to provide a structural template upon which their crystal structures can form.
From the research of Holmlid, we know that chemical catalysts based on potassium doped graphite are used to produce metalized hydrides that show LENR activity through the generation of high pressure chemistry catalysis. More explicitly, Rossi uses mica in his reactor and other LENR workers use powdered quartz in their fuel mix. This speaks to the possibility that hexagonal and trigonal chemical substrates are providing templates for the fabrication of metalized hydrides.
In order to more fully study how this substrate based nanoparticle generation process might work, the LENR researcher could use the Molecular Foundry, a nanoscience User Facility located at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, California. This research center is one of five Nanoscale Science Research Centers sponsored by the United States Department of Energy. The Molecular Foundry provides users from around the world with access to cutting-edge nanoscience expertise and instrumentation in a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment.
Users of the Molecular Foundry are provided with free access to instruments, techniques and collaborators for nanoscience research that is in the public domain and intended for open publication. Proposals for user projects are solicited to promote interdisciplinary collaboration among scientists studying nanoscale phenomena in materials science, physics, electrical engineering, environmental engineering, biology and chemistry in six interdependent facilities:
• 1 Imaging and Manipulation of Nanostructures
• 2 Nanofabrication
• 3 Theory of Nanostructured Materials
• 4 Inorganic Nanostructures
• 5 Biological Nanostructures
• 6 Organic and Macromolecular Synthesis

Be advised, if you decide to use this research resource, it would be prudent to keep your application secret because the LENR naysayers will attempt to kill your application. At the current juncture it is prudent to avoid the use of the word or concept ‘LENR’ in your dealing with the US government.
