Details the transition from 1989's "Cold Fusion" to the modern, more rigorous LENR research landscape. It provides critical context on why the field was dismissed and how it recovered its scientific standing. It’s an excellent "primer" on the politics and physics of the field.
Introduction to Cold Fusion
Authors: David J. Nagel | Year: 2012

Explains the "lattice-assisted" nature of the reactions and why they differ from high-temperature plasma fusion. It simplifies complex quantum tunneling concepts for a general scientific audience. It serves as a conceptual roadmap for the entire discipline.
The Science of Low Energy Nuclear Reaction
Authors: Edmund Storms | Year: 2007
