Hi,
I'm a PhD student with some basic physics knowledge. I study the history of science, but I'm new to this particular topic. A chemist friend of mine got me interested, and I've become fascinated by LENR and water energy research, but I am not sure where to begin. If anyone has resources they can recommend as good primers, or can share the most exciting recent developments, I'd be very grateful. I'd also be happy to chat via Zoom!
Thanks in advance.

This is a good overview of the foundations of the field, by @Jed Rothwell, a member of this forum.

Thanks for bringing it up Alan Smith , I keep forgetting that video is available, duh.
We have also this ongoing collection of LENR-Forum made Interview videos:
LENR is about low-dimensional collisions of atoms. You would need lotta energy for their compression from all directions together. But You can smash them like pistons: head to head collisions of atoms arranged in a row within metallic crystal lattice.
The Krivit article linked below seems like a good place to start.

Interesting Video.
2 members = 3 theories and that is before Axil got on it
And nobody says 'thank you' afterwards
Here you will find an ocean of information: https://lenr-canr.org/
2 members = 3 theories and that is before Axil got on it
This is a general rule of theoretical physics. Ask any 3 theorists a question and you get 5 different answers. That's the low end ratio. The numbers increase exponentially with the number of theorists, verging on infinity, or zero, depending on how you look at it. Ask 100 theorists and you get essentially no answer at all.
I recommend the following:

Chapter 1:

The papers listed at the bottom of this page:
The numbers increase exponentially with the number of theorists, verging on infinity, or zero, depending on how you look at it.
Because the answers are self-cancelling. For every theory claiming hypothesis H there will be another theory claiming NOT H. For example, in cold fusion, for every theory saying that loading is a critical parameter you will find another theory saying that loading makes no difference.
You might think this only applies to speculative fields such as cold fusion. You would be wrong. It turns out, people do not even understand how light, gravity, or dieting and weight loss work. It may be that some people understand these things, but given some number of self-proclaimed experts (the number being X -- for expert), as X increases the certainty of the answers decreases until it approaches zero.
Remember also that Fleischmann's law applies. As Uncle Martin said, the more you hear scientists proclaim that a given field is now well established and there are no more surprises or unexpected discoveries to be made, the more sure you can be that the field is a mess and it is ripe to be overturned and completely revised.
I would save your pixels Jed, the new member who raised the query has not been back since the day he joined.
From my perspective, i rather see arrogant whales and follower whales following their self-promulgated prophets.
When the lead whale runs aground on the beach, the whole tribe of idolaters next do the same.

My comments were not entirely serious, so no harm if they are unread.
