If 'real', this stuff could change significant aspects of our world:

But I ain't yet convinced it is 'real' and/or 'practical' (shades of Cold Fusion).

But pretty cool stuff...

Eh, I've seen it all before.
And I don't like how they say it'll "Change the world". To me, that implies some sort of amazing upheaval of everything we know and then step forward into a new age. What they've listed as its new abilities seem imply that its going to clean up the world, not change it.
Good idea, though. We could use a good spring cleaning.

Heh. Silly idea incoming:
"No, no, no! The desert is *still* too dusty! Get back in there and make it spotless this time!"
;D
"This man seems to possess a dangerous animal cunning... The kind of cleverness to rip off your arms to crush you at chess!"
