Not to sound like a burro, but that first link makes it seem like the writer has no idea what they are talking about...and the second link is contingent on the first, so...I'm thinking that this r and d hasn't undergone much peer review yet.

I'd wait for proof of concept.

I would not call it impossible though.

I'm not sure why you guys are so quick to shoot this down. They're not talking about a laser that is 250x more efficient but a laser that can be driven at much lower power levels and is slightly more efficient.

I'm not shooting down the concept/development of the tech, I'm jibing the editor's choice of writer.
They are just repeating the "official statement" over and over without releasing much more information to the public.
