I have suspected this bias for some time, and I suspect the influence is primarily that of Dr. Storms. Personally, I think that restricting CF (general term) to metal lattices may be too severe a restriction. Note that in at least one of Dr. Oriani's papers he reports ionizing radiation emitted from the vapor above a CF cell. I think any interest in the field is due to our common need to find a new source of energy, so I think your belief that people only want to read about lattice based CF is probably misguided. I also think that while a lattice may well *frequently* provide the necessary environment, it may not be a *necessary* requirement. >It would annoy the readers >to find many papers about other subjects.
