This work directly supports the "Breakthrough Propulsion" objectives detailed in the NASA OCT TA02 In-space Propulsion Roadmap, and aligns with the #10 Top Technical Challenge identified in the report. "My understanding is that the work in question is hardly finished, so not ready for standard peer-review publication yet.  But, as part of a NASA program, they are expected (and required) to give updates.  We hear about those.Of course there are other odd requirements.  We do research to *discover* the requirements, don't we?  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Don't get me wrong - the likelihood of this developing into something earth-shaking is slim.  But since when do we sternly shake fingers at research and tell folks they are looking at the wrong thing?</blockquote>
