Er, what conclusion is there to jump to other than an accurate one? It's 7% stronger than traditional steel and 30% lighter, with a greatly decreased manufacturing cost. Ok, fine, it's not a "miracle" material since it's not curing the sick or raising the dead. But as long as testing continues to support the conclusion of both the manufacturer and researchers at tOSU (and elsewhere), this seems like an impressive engineering feat.


Whole careers are made on improving some existing process by a few percent. Kudos to that guy.


The title is ridiculous though, didn't they use science to make stronger steel or did they make them out of magic?


I'm sure the title meant professional, established scientists, not that he didn't use the scientific method.
