The LENR catalyst is one of a number of metals of their compounds with a low melting point. Their function is to produce nanoparticles of a vide variation of sizes from its plasma when the metal compound is cooled to below its vaporization point.
This plasma nanoparticle condensation may be called Rydberg matter.
