That is where the action is, Steven. It is on the surface in nanosized sites. That location is in conflict with most explanations and is very hard to explore without suitable tools. > > If creating appropriate surface topologies is a key factor... I'm curious.

Yes, this could be done several different ways and has been suggested. However, the tools require money to use. > I realize nano-scale means working with structures as small as at the atomic > scale.

Once the type, size, and location of the NAE is identified, making it on an industrial scale would not be a problem. > I have instead wondered if we might eventually learn to employ laser > technology to construct the correct kinds of surface topology to enhance the > CF/LENR effect – perhaps in a similar manner as how lasers are currently > being used to carve tiny micro pits onto the surface of CDs and DVDs.

Laser are useful for somethings but that is not the method I would recommend.
