Yeah I understand the need for an university to make the news once in a while, and the fact that this made the front page here proves the effectiveness of the method, but the terms "Passively Harvest" and "Defies Physics" should be used very carefully in the context of a scientific publication, even though it's only a blog post so we don't expect peer-reviewed journal levels of rigor.

I feel that it disserves science in the end, the belief that some magic material is going to break the second law of thermodynamics is closer to alchemy than chemistry.
