He's going to be pulling together a FAQ for a lot of the questions that he and I were asked (we were pretty much flooded with emails and calls the last couple of days). In a nutshell, this is very early tech, so it's most definitely a work in progress and as with much early stage science, there's no guarantee it will definitely work but Adam's working hard to finish off the prototype.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I'll be sharing the FAQ in a few weeks and we're looking forward to having a prototype to show in about 2ish months. Bear with us as the article came out a lot faster than we expected it would.</div>
