Dave Jones of the EEVBLOG recently did an informative and unfortunate video covering this. https://youtu.be/QHPFphlzwdQ

    I've been following him for years and this video had me very disappointed in him. Very arrogant and condescending of him. I know he did similar videos on solar roadways, but 1. he is knowledgeable on that subject, and 2. the people behind that were clearly scammers wanting funding. Here, this is just an unpunished paper with nothing to gain if it turns out it doesn't work, yet he still treated them as garbage. God, I wish this turns out genuine if only to make HIM look like a dumbass (not to mention this would be huge).
