[John Locke]

Run a current through some spheres and they start to rotate. Not enough detail in the story to say why - could be the old right-hand rule; could be some interaction with the Earth's magnetic field. One thing for sure - nobody is creating angular momentum out of thin air.

Not particularly new - Toshiro Higuchi at the University of Tokyo has been working on applications of electrostatic rotation for several years now. And I don't see what is so exciting - the idea that macroscopic "rotation" has anything to do with quantum mechanical "spin" seems totally off the wall.

Run a current through some spheres and they start to rotate...

Not a current. An electrostatic charge. There is no electromagnetic effect if there is not current.
