By the photos, it might be best to call them "young adults". It looks like most are 18 years or somewhat older.

Longview,
Welcome back, and huh...am I looking at the same photo as you? They look 40-50ish to me, but if 18, then I say bravo, because LENR needs some youngsters to take the reins. With McKubre's going from semi to fully retired recently, LENR needs some knew blood.
-
Maybe you Shane are a better judge of age, I'm getting up there, so they all look young now . Certainly the field needs not only young enthusiastic supporters but, as you may suggest, it needs a new crop of physicists, chemists, electrochemists and condensed matter theorists, in my humble opinion.
-
Too bad...Holmlid must have gone into dark mode. Inventor's disease happens to most of the open source people in due course.

Why you would think that. He's 75 years old. Also (from his latest paper) :
At least one more paper is planned too;
if not from him certainly from Sveinn Ólafsson and Sindre Zeiner-Gundersen (the latter, of Norront Fusion Energy) who are working on the same research.

It got already linked in previous comments here and elsewhere, but I guess it might be useful linking it again more explicitly.
It's probably also worth pointing out that the patent of this thread is referenced in the paper:
-
No news, already checked

In the mid 90s Holmlid et al focused for a while on the practical application of the unexpectedly low work function of Rydberg matter of Cesium, but those efforts didn't end up resulting in actual commercial devices / products.

The source was this thesis:

For what it's worth, Holmlid doesn't think he's working on LENR, even if...

In a rebuttal paper submitted on arXiv in 2016 Holmlid mentioned an interesting bit of information that isn't reported anywhere else, not even in his patent(s) where he sometimes added information not discussed in the peer-reviewed papers.
Quote[...] The experiments are performed with a constant hydrogen or deuterium gas flow in to the chamber under fast pumping (typically 1000 l s-1).
Unless this is a typo, it's quite interesting that he typically uses such a high flow rate. I wonder how he achieves it; surely not only by using hydrogen gas directly from a bottled source, I would guess?
-
Does he specify the pressure in the chamber? At very low pressures 1000L of gas is actually not very much. For example, 1L of H2 at 1 Bar, is 1000L at 1mB.
-
He does: under "constant pumping" conditions he usually uses a chamber pressure in the order of 1 millibar or slightly less. However to my understanding hydrogen can be admitted this way for hours, at least.
EDIT: this information is also in the same paper linked above, immediately after what I previously quoted.
Quote[...] The experiments are performed with a constant hydrogen or deuterium gas flow in to the chamber under fast pumping (typically 1000 l s-1). The catalysts used in the source interact with the gases, and a memory effect in the catalysts exists which is clearly observed in the experiments. Several hours of gas flow are needed after switching from natural hydrogen (mainly protium) to deuterium, or vice versa.
