Rossi is very fishy, and he has no clue why his 'invention' works. Scratch that.
However, these two Swedish professors Lidgren and Lundin were involved in testing Rossi's claims a few years back. Lundin is a plasma physicist at the Swedish institute for Space Physics, and has a long publication record.

Now they've published a paper:
"Nuclear Spallation and Neutron Capture Induced
by Ponderomotive Wave Forcing"
Here:

They're saying essentially that they can use heat and EM field to resonance to make solid-state materials expel a neutron. They call this "thermal neutron spallation".
Which is a pretty bold statement of an entirely novel concept.
They've said they're setting up an experiment to demonstrate this novel form of neutron spallation.

They'd need to have some results besides Rossi and then others would need to replicate it, and then replicate it again by yet another team for it to start being believable and taken seriously. Not a physicist, just a regular computer programmer, but reading that paper I see some pretty serious claims -- matter transmutting to different elements (isotope formation), neutron emission and capture, at 2000'C environment, there are claims about having 1-10 kWh generators running for years with a few grams of fuel only.
