Basically the theoretical physicists are groping for ways to show that vibration energy couples to the metal matrix in Nickel or Palladium, causing the Lattice Assisted Nuclear Reactions and excess heat.

It’s all about resonance, my boy, all about resonance. You want to be with it in the future, get resonance in the planar present using energy from the linear past.

Sure. The claim is being made that the nucleus of excited (unstable) atoms can transfer energy to the lattice (the regular frame work the metal) by the change of some of the atom's mass into energy that is coherent (same wave length, etc.) as vibrations in the lattice.
Since the wave length isn't the same for each excess energy is produced as heat as the atomic nucleus becomes more stable.
But moving to a more stable state should produce a gamma ray which is why gamma rays were sought as proof that actual nuclear reactions were taking place.

The problem has been showing the two systems, lattice and nucleus, together can produce more energy than either or both separately operating.

That's my rather broad understanding of what is being claimed. I welcome any corrections.

Yeah, that's the point: it is nonsense.

I have alerted Dr Sheldon Cooper to the thread and hope he will give us his theoretical insight in language we can understand

Friend, I think you mean "What is the practical application?" because if there is not, it is time to take another Rip Van Winkle nap and see if the hypothesis survived. I studied quantum mechanics and wave mechanics over 40 years ago, and did some spectroscopy on "lattice" effects of point defects of "rigidized" materials, but that doesn't quite get me to the point of the "Run, Spot, run" level of barely grasping what this paper even hints at. Then, there were no microprocessors, no laser-read bar codes, no LEDs, no catalytic converters, no EPA, etc. Look where we are now!

What one might ponder on is that we have no concept of what a pure, truly pure, solid element might do; let alone how one only slightly doped might behave. But people are trying.

Where are you coming from? What will it take to bridge the gap between what you and I understand to what the writers are saying, in their own concise and clear lingo? Some here at FR do.
