Military Exoskeleton a reality.

Video in the article too.
The result is the XOS' ability to allow its pilot to move fluidly while lifting heavy loads, like 200-pound ammo canisters, with almost no physical fatigue for as long as the suit has power. Unfortunately, that power issue still needs a few breakthroughs, as the current XOS prototype (the fourth constructed by Jacobsen) will only function for 40-minutes on battery power alone.

Sounds like they need an Iron Man Arc reactor.

Raj, maybe you should have considered engineering a bit more back when you were going to school 
Also, I don't like math and Physics.
