Anyone heard anything lately regarding ultradense hydrogen? Papers, articles, interviews?

Comment on ’Phase transition temperatures of 405-725 K in
superfluid ultra-dense hydrogen clusters on metal surfaces’
The article in [1] has recently come to our attention. It makes a number of
extraordinary claims that each contradict well established facts in several fields,
ranging from atomic and molecular physics to superconductivity and superfluidity,
with practically no supporting evidence. We think it worthwhile to rectify the
literature with this comment.

Obviously the physics establishment is on high alert and hired a bullshit talker to attack Holmlid based on one paper where there are more than 50.
He says:
The extremely well tested and well understood quantum theory of matter, and
atoms and molecules in particular, excludes any behavior of the kind suggested by
Holmlid et al.
This is outraging bullshit. The standard model (SM) of physics is unable to describe matter as it has no clue of the mass structure and how charge is generated.
In fact: SM is fringe physics based on childish assumptions. See::: basics of physics S07.pdf

For general information, Berhard Kotzias as retired have had severe health problems and his former boss left Airbus ( Geneste) since a while.
Sad because their ZrO2 foam Ni coated was a very good idea but it should have been necessary to remove their dense H expectations..and use an another way..

With some billions/year for ITER/CERN you can do a lot of party...

and as a friend of B. Kotzias told me that there was (is still?) no political nor academic interest of such a technology in Germany. Then Airbus obviously gave up....

Special Issue "Progress in Novel Nuclear Hydrogen Fuel"
An entire issue devoted to this, and with Leif Holmlid as Guest Editor! This is quite a recognition. Engvild

Just found out that this poster by Kjeld C. Engvild was submitted as an ICCF24 poster:
Is the Holmlid Effect Real? Any Independent Replications? Laser Pulses Focused on D2 inside a TiD2 Pinhole Might Form a Holmlid Effect Heating Device.
Attached to this post, but originally available here: https://drive.google.com/file/…vdUVu6Ja2GLVPeb66phu/view
However, I don't think that the proposed experiment might work well as a heating device based on Holmlid's findings, for a couple reasons.
1. Alkali-promoted catalysts together with carbon or metal-oxide surfaces appear to be necessary. The subject of catalysts was described in detail here by Holmlid et al.: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijhydene.2021.02.221
2. The particles emitted are apparently very penetrating and not very well converted to heat unless a thick shielding is adopted. One consisting of a copper cylinder with 2-cm thick walls was used here for that: https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4928572
In the review published in 2019 (https://doi.org/10.1088/1402-4896/ab1276) it was suggested that pulsed laser application for a prolonged period directly onto Fe-K catalyst pellets under a hydrogen atmosphere in the mbar range would produce a "Rydberg matter mist". Therefore the continuous laser ablation of catalyst material apparently is conducive to the eventual formation of UDH; I think mainly thanks to the very fine (nanometric?) active particulate produced as a result.
Worth also pointing out that carbon is always present in some form in the experiments by Holmlid (either by deliberate manual application of graphite close to the laser target/catalysts before closing the vacuum chamber, or by decomposition of vacuum pump oils in the vacuum atmosphere on the catalytically-active surfaces formed):
Quote[...] Under the conditions of interest, the vacuum chamber is filled with a visible mist, probably of H(l) RM. Such a mist is formed after an hour or so of direct laser impact on catalyst pieces with the hydrogen gas pressure in the mbar range.

Holmlid did a calorimetric experiment back in 2015 apparently showing greater heating than the laser energy into the chamber (the efficiency of the entire system was still below 1 due to the laser used, I believe) but it was never reproduced by others, and Engvild 's idea from the ICCF24 poster would be in principle similar to that.
Then, it would be probably best trying to at least partially follow Holmlid's experimental methods/protocols, which at this point I believe have been fully described, albeit in a rather scattered manner. These don't really require to accept UDH as a concept.

We know that the replicators are not the same page regarding the interpretation of the results, so you make a fair point.

Al Scott has been exploring LENR in a series of podcasts. I have been putting them as they appear on the Which ICCF24 presentation is most likely to sway a skeptic? - Page 17 - General LENR Talks - LENR Forum (lenr-forum.com) thread, but this latest interview with Lutz Jaitner appears on topic here, so...
Player FM - Internet Radio Done Right
In this episode I am continuing my investigation into cold fusion, looking into potential scientific explanations of the excess heat and fusion products hinted at by Dr. Edmund Storms in my last podcast.
There seems to be a dedicated research group that is working on these theories and I am eager to find out whether or not their hypothesis about condensed plasmoids can stand up to skepticism.
Lutz Jaitner from Hamburg Germany is the father of three adult daughters. He holds a Master of Science degree in physics from the University of Hamburg.
Lutz started his career as a designer and developer of multiprocessor hardware. After which he worked as a consulting engineer. Lutz is the programmer and operator of a public cloud service for neighborly help groups: Obelio eLETS Service
Around 2006 Lutz started to evaluate the available literature about LENR research. By 2015 he found an explanation, how the reaction is facilitated by an ultra-dense plasmoid state of matter. It took him until 2019 to work out a quantum-mechanical model of this state, to program a simulation tool for it, perform the simulation runs and document this theory on this web site.
