This is Harold White's research group, and they have claimed many times to have validated the EM drive (and other fringe items). When I saw the headline I suspected it was him again, and sure enough, it was. Google around to find out all you need to about him and his work. And whenever you see such a headline, look to see if it is his group again. I'll let each of you learn about him on your own :)

Care to point me to some info about him? I can't find anything on Google that's that damning...

  Here's a not too old pop article on his group [1]. If you like (and can read physics somewhat) look over his papers (which as far as I can tell never get published in peer reviewed journals). They're borderline nonsense, the kind that is hard to dispute since there is no content, just a lot of hand wavy speculation with a few formulas copy pasted out of textbooks. Their experiments are routinely debunked in physics forums by grad students. It's crap all the way down. Over the years seeing a lot of "interesting" stuff attributed to NASA, I eventually noticed the common denominator was Harold White, and now whenever I see a story like this, his name is the first one I look for. He's good at this game, but apparently very sketchy at science. [1] http://www.wired.com/2015/05/nasa-warp-drive-yeah-still-poppycock/ http://www.wired.com/2015/05/nasa-warp-drive-yeah-still-popp...
