Eric, it seems likely that any gas atoms that can migrate into the required nano geometry should also shrink… so helium should do fine but I don’t know about metal atoms which might need plasma temperatures and that would seem to threaten the standard skeletal catalyst or nano powders, however there is the Mills mechanism of self catilization that would present a possible avenue for this.
