That's going to p*ss off more than a couple battery manufacturers who are banking on recurring sales.
Lockheed Martin reveals their work on a Compact Fusion Reactor, which they say could prototype in 10 years. It is interesting in that it doesn't use a tokamak design, but something more like a tube shaped field which allows for a smaller reactor with a higher plasma ratio. I'll believe it when we see it, but it is encouraging that the perpetual "40 years away" timeline that has existed for fusion reactors since the 1970s or so may finally be reducing to a perpetual 10 years away

I'll believe it when I see this in actual products. There is a "new" battery technology reported just about every day that will forever change batteries but, alas, they are still a couple years away from implementation. I remain optimistic but if I held my breath for even 1/10 of these announcements then I would have been dead ages ago.

Hooray ice bucket challenge?
Hooray ice bucket challenge?
I was kinda joking since the results of the ice bucket challenge won't be seen in research for at least another 3-5 years. If it hits while there's lots of avenues to explore however it could be extremely fortuitous instead of everyone clamoring to break the same research.

Sounds like they don't understand that the Skunk Works has the benefit of all the research gathered by Back Engineering of the Alien Spacecraft from Area 51

It not just FOX telling you that, hysteria has all the news outlets.
