You just can't make this stuff up.
I thought it was a total scam. Apparently not.
DARPA's looking for the long lost metastable spin state, but not for your car, mind you, they're looking for it to power military drone robots for thousands of hours without recharging.
Or a new nuke that's outside all treaties, and hence, unregulated.
Something about following the letter and not the spirit of the law comes to mind here, but these guys are pretty souless anyway.
Of course, not to be upstaged, and to help motivate the advance of science, we're told the Rooskies and Team Xinhua want one too.
And DARPA (via the DTRA [the US Defense Threat Reduction Agency] ) is bankrolling the research on all three sides.
