My attempts to generate interest in these strange bodies was met with scorn, they were dismissed as culture artifacts. Now I notice they have become a new area of research interest. It only took 50 years.
Luckily, as we see from ICCF24, there has not been the same dearth of interest in LENR. What is needed for interest to turn into research is results that are coherent with eachother, characterisable, replicable, etc.
