Very tiny VLF TX antenna?

Just possibly this research could lead to compact (inches only length) VLF transmitting antennae. This link was sent to me by Jay W5OLF, who designed my 10m WSPR beacon, which is still working fine.

I agree, except the article was dated April 12th. It would be good if true.

You can't break the basic principles of electromagnetics.
I would like to see this antenna working over a distance of 100 wavelengths not 100 feet.
