I think the legacy of Storms’ book, no matter if you agree with all his theorizing about the exact character of the NAE & mechanism, will be that it opened up a more serious and expansive dialogue about the importance of NAE.
The community, similar to how it followed the lead of Arata in working with nano-particles, should do what it can to embark on a focused exploration of this topic experimentally. Let them test nano-cracks, nano-whiskers, morphing magnetic topological defects, sub-nano-domains, whatever. I think there is enough evidence to suggest a surface reaction, so lets use that as the guide in future experiments. If experiments disprove it, so be it, but atleast there was a plan at play. David French mentioned at the last ICCF that the most important thing now is engineering. How do we produce enough power and control it. If NAE is the answer, then this should be the new direction the community embarks on for the next decade. On Tue, Jul 22, 2014 at 1:51 PM, Foks0904 . <foks0...@gmail.com> wrote: > OK, interesting.
