From the article:
"This research was funded, in part, by MIT, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, and the U.S. Army Research Office through the Institute for Soldier Nanotechnologies at MIT."
I see quite a strong military presence among the funders, which could imply this research will progress really fast and turn soon into a real thing, but sadly it also could imply it won't be available to the public for some time.
- iso1337 4y agosays the study’s senior author, Xuanhe Zhao, professor of mechanical engineering and civil and environmental engineering at MIT. The study also includes lead authors Chonghe Wang and Xiaoyu Chen, and co-authors Liu Wang, Mitsutoshi Makihata, and Tao Zhao at MIT, along with Hsiao-Chuan Liu of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. It's likely all or most of the researchers were immigrants/foreign. And yet we have overly restrictive immigration policies for high skilled workers that basically means we educate them and then return them back to their country.
