Are you sure? What you say is true of the EM drive, but this looks like it's a completely different technology. As far as the article is written, it doesn't sound like microwaves are used at all.

What has me skeptical is that they say the device produces enough thrust to counteract its own mass, which would be revolutionary. Why are we not reading about this all over the news?

Because it's a load of shite mostly.
