This kind of shit comes out of MIT daily and never manifests into reality. They've got a great PR team.

    Just try this as an exercise. Keep a journal of how many world changing batteries are presented by the MIT PR department from today, through one year. Three years later, open the journal and see how many have found any meaningful application in the real world.
