A paper published by Elsevier "Engineering Fracture Mechanics" on LENR
Alan Widom, Yogi Srivastava, John Swain are working for long on an electro-weak theory of LENR.
George de Montmollin is known to have seed funded LENR-Cities, which was liquidated.
He continue the effort by the creation of LENR Cities Suisse SARL.
I don't know Rosselli but he is affiliated to LENR-Cities Suisse

Highlights
- Relation to past work: It is a relatively recent theoretical and experimental observation that materials under severe stress lead to the production of neutrons and other low energy nuclear reactions [LENR]. Experimental confirmations of such phenomena in the laboratory can be found in Refs. ; and in natural geophysical phenomena in Refs. , , ; . Theoretical predictions -including some of our own-regarding the same, can be found in Refs. , , , , ; .
- New results: In the present paper, we focus first on the quantitative dynamics and the energetics of fracture in electrolytic cells and show the necessary conditions for LENR to occur. To our knowledge, these are original results. Based on our theoretical results, we discuss electrode fracture experiments that we have performed and present evidence of new elements. LENR has also been shown to occur experimentally via Coulomb explosions in Refs. , , , , ; . We discuss the dynamics of Coulomb explosions and conditions necessary for the occurrence of LENR. Once again, to our knowledge, these are new results. We describe our experiments on alkali metals and present two protocols, one through [melt and water] that is complementary to the methods in Refs. ; and another via lasers, to ensure Coulomb explosions. Further supplementary scientific information including some videos have been stored on a web site with links provided in Ref. [32].
- Prognosis for future development: As stated earlier, the investigations studied in the present paper are of relatively recent vintage with a huge potential for further development. We mention here just one that we are presently pursuing. It is our own working conjecture that the too well known unfortunate blowup of lithium batteries is indeed a Coulomb explosion and that it has an LENR component that can be triggered under severe conditions [fortunately, fulfilled only with quite small probabilities].
