[Vo]: MIT suggest new physical model for condensed matter
The Vorts have some great comments about this theory.

MIT suggest new physical model for condensed matter to explain many
observations of anomalies in condensed matter systems. they named
Fleischmann , Pons and Piantelli but not rossi .

The key phrase in the abstract is:
"In the resulting model, there appears a new term in which nuclear
transitions
are coupled to lattice vibrations."
I wonder if Hagelstein has been reading Znidarsic's work?

A scientific layman's quick assessment:
a gifted theoretical physicist and colleague have been working
steadily for years with experimenters --
they carefully studied and rejected many theoretical dead ends for
various anomalous phenomena --
finally they started to apply standard theoretical routes, while
starting fresh with a comprehensive overview that held the nuclear
level and the electronic level together on an equal basis --
finding new subtleties that indicate transactions between nuclear and
electronic levels that so far seem may turn out to fit the puzzling
experimental data --
publishing results quickly in many papers, thus inviting public
critical examination by their peers --
thus, all the hallmarks of mature scientific breakthrough...

more and more, faster and faster, capable professionals will explore
this breakthrough, while we amateurs will be left yipping in the
yard...

Regarding (emphasis added):
These experimental results, and many others, have motivated us to explore
new models that might be relevant. A major issue that we have been
interested in is the *possibility of coherent energy exchange between
quantum systems with mismatched **characteristic energies*, which we
considered to be the biggest theoretical problem associated with the
anomalies. Coherent energy exchange between mismatched quantum systems
occurs in high harmonic generation [22], so we know that it is
possible in principle.
However, there seems to be no analog to Corkum’s mechanism [23],[24] present
in the condensed matter system. A lesser version of the effect is known
within the multiphoton regime of the spin-boson model, which is used to
model basic linear interactions of two-level systems with an oscillator
[25],[26],[27]. We found that if the two-level system is augmented with
loss, the coherent energy exchange rate is increased dramatically. This is
due to the fact that destructive interference limits the rate at
which coherent energy exchange occurs in the spin-boson model, so
augmenting the
model with a mechanism that removes this destructive interference would be
expected
to improve coherent energy exchange rates [28],[29],[30],[31].
Coherence transfer between systems is indeed absolutely required.
The answer to this one is clear. Rossi has told us what does this job for
him.
“no analog to Corkum’s mechanism”...micro cavities that do this job.
Micro-cavities allows protons (one quantum system) to be made coherent in
the lattice via coherent lattice photons (another quantum system).
Put some protons in a micro-cavity and shake until coherent.
Rossi’s powder does this job. In the heavy water experiments,
micro-cavities have done the same job in that system but not as intensely
as it is done by the Rossi’s powder or Piantelli’s rough surface coating.
The are many new quantum mechanical experiments done recently that show how
quantum wells transfer coherence between quantum particle types of all
kinds.
I just saw one where a photon can spin a tinny quantum wheel...light to
mechanical energy.

Here's the reference:

Yes, there have been several developments in the last few months about
coupling between different energy types. I think the pieces of the puzzle
will be coming together this year.

>>“Mitt suggests new physical model for condensed matter”
Well, his MAss experiments do bring a manure spreader in a wind tunnel to mind.
——Could someone please translate this?——
I have alerted Dr Sheldon Cooper to the thread and hope he will give us his theoretical insight in language we can understand
Kidding aside, interesting article. This is the kind of theoretical work that is required in this field.
If Doctor Sheldon Cooper sees this thread, I hope he will feel inspired to answer the serious questions people have instead of dismissing us. I would appreciate even a reference to another thread or website where such serious discussion is taking place. There have been a couple comments above that are decent, but there is a lot of fluff here too.
I applaud you efforts and your ability to use the resource of Free Republic to discuss a subject of interest to you and widely separated Freeper associates
This was all explained years ago by noted physicists Captain & Tennille in their paper MUSKRAT LOVE.
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.
“metal matrix in Nickel or Palladium, causing the Lattice Assisted Nuclear Reactions and excess heat.”
That’s it! It is all so clear now! Wow. How did I miss that!
It is similar to the Turbo Encabulator effect. Can’t believe I missed this.

This will be my standard post to moonboy that says you’re not worth trying to have reasonable discussion, also says “buzz off” & doesn’t leave crickets. But if it offends you to the point that you get it removed like my prior innocuous citation then I’ll have to come up with some other ‘ignore button’ post.

This means I have nothing more to say to you about LENR. Bye.

Lurkers will take note that when we try to explain things at a lower level it is more often than not a way for some jerk to just yank our chain. That’s often why some of us are reluctant to bother any more. You can thank guys like garjog for this state of events.
Guitars have also proven that the String Theory is correct. When Eric Clapton or BB King plays they go to another dimension -- all due to the results from their 'string vibrations' :-)
An aside: I've never tried Ernie Ball Slinkys. For about 25 years now I've been using nothing but D'Addario strings. When it's time to change the factory strings on my guitars, D'Addarios go on.
In the matrix of humorous connotations, the volume of “Slinky” simply outweighs “D’Addario”.
Observe that binding MITt Romney with “Slinky” produces a humorous tone with warm and fuzzy qualities; Mitt Romney->D’Addarios, not so much.
>>Mitt Romney->D’Addarios, not so much.
Except maybe when played on a device produced by the Joseph Smith’s Ity Bity Deseret Amplifier and Magic Underwear factory in Salt Lake City... with knobs that go up to 11 instead of 10!
{Bzzzzzzz} It’s the bee hive state, get it? {badumpump}
LOL. But it depends if that 'Ity Bity Deseret Amplifier' is a good ole rockin' Tube Amp, or Solid State ;-)
I'm actually looking at new Guitar Amps now and I found one make and model that goes up to 13 on the Knobs. The company even jokes about it not stopping at 10 in their ad. But since I'm 98% sure I'll go with a Fender Mustang© Amp I didn't pay much attention to the brand. But when I saw that '13' I really did LOL.

Yup, all sorts of things are possible ~ now is that a micro-cavity? I’m still digesting the discussion of how they wire this prototype up ~ some strange stuff ~
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/g/a/2012/02/20/bloomberg_articlesLZNZ0D07SXKX01-LZO0R.DTL ~ try that with this one. Bet you can’t.
Yes, I read that about a single atom transistor. Cool. Maybe we will see AI in our life time?
