    Nature itself has an arguably better news article on the design that is open access, as well as the actual paper, which is not, but is on scihub.

    Here's a video from nature with the inventor Steven Barrett talking about how they got to where they are, and has some shots of the model in flight as well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boB6qu5dcCw

    Did you say "National Security"? I speculate that this technology would be scooped up by the military and classified asap.

    But the thrusters have one key advantage: “There’s no sound generation. So [drones] for building inspections or things like that” would be an ideal application for these thrusters, Gallimore notes.
