I've been waiting for years Panasonic to go with something break through. As they announced years ago. And still waiting πŸ˜€
Seems like the Chinese beating them once more.
Anyway, good news!

I was finally able to find the paper... I'm unable to tell whether the hype is justified or not. As long as it stays in journals like Interesting Engineering and the South China Morning Post, I'll stay skeptical.

Just a moment...
