Sounds exciting, but magical. Like that EM drive thing from like a decade ago. So exciting but ultimately nothing. Hopefully this turns out better.

holy shit,
and its literally just some lead mineral (lead Apatite)

Not only would it be a gigantic breakthrough,
it sounds almost affordable compared to rare earths (afaik Apatite can be lab grown)

i sure hope it turns out true after peer review
