Findings [web]: - Raj Ganesh Pala and Nandita Sharma (Department of Chemical Engineering, IIT Kanpur, per the IITK publication list in Google results), "Putative 'Hydrino' Compounds in Light Water Heat Excess Electrolysis Experiments", ECS Meeting Abstracts MA2026-01 (28) 1445, doi 10.1149/MA2026-01281445mtgabs, symposium F01 in honour of Mark Orazem (ECS 249th meeting, 2026). Abstract: light-water Ni-cathode electrolysis appeared to show excess heat, "later corroborated at NASA"; hydrino states "are not consistent with quantum mechanics" but "are consistent with non-radiation conditions of classical electromagnetic theory"; "we first want to replicate experiments that claim to synthesize and characterize Hydrino compounds", in aqueous and molten-salt electrolysis; results to be presented. A companion abstract, R. G. Pala, "Hydrino Mediated Nuclear Reactions: Model Elaboration and Search for Evidence in Electrolysis Experiments", MA2026-01 1442, doi 10.1149/ma2026-01281442mtgabs (Crossref; not read). Bearing: priority 2. The first academic group found that announces an experimental replication programme of hydrino compounds independent of BLP; results not yet in the abstract. High-value recheck target. - D. L. Selke, "Ionization Energies from Classical Force Balance: Calcium-like Uranium and Below", European Journal of Applied Physics (2025) (ResearchGate PDF; not read). Extends Mills's force-balance method for atoms (claim 1) to heavier ions; Selke also authored "Against point charges" (2015), cited by Hagen-Mills 2022. Priority 3. - R. Mills, "Hydrino States of Hydrogen", preprint (2024), cited 3 times (files/BLP-Hydrino_States_of_Hydrogen.pdf). - Hagen and Mills, ChemRxiv 2024 "General EPR pattern..." (cited 2); "Detection and Characterization of the Cosmological Neutrino Background by EPR Spectroscopy on Molecular Hydrino..." (Hagen and Mills, BLP PDF; not downloaded; bears on claim 3). - Speculative related work (priority 3, recorded as found): J.
