No peers have been able to substantiate this so far. May be shades of the 80's cold fusion fiasco.

It appears to almost work. The sample should levitate over a magnet but only raised one edge.

I agree. You'll recall the headlines in May when Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory allegedly successfully completed the first cold fusion. There has been precious little announced progress on this since that first news release.

I'm hoping they are on to something a only bit of adjustment is needed. Quantum computing at room temp would be a game changer too.
