It won't power the starship Enterprise, but an experimental "dilithium crystal" pyroelectric technology is said to enable compact nuclear fusion.
With respect to this story, which is more likely?
- The media won't touch another fusion story after being burned 15 (or so) years ago.
- The media won't touch another physics story after screwing up the quantum computer that gives answers without running.
- The media actually understands that this doesn't mean you'll be seeing a Mr. Fusion device attached to your time travelling car anytime soon.
Odds are heavily against 3.
