I fully expect that a press release would be fully understandable by non-scientsts. I'm not asking for a scientific paper, just to reduce the huge ambiguities.

I fully expect that a press release would be fully understandable by non-scientsts. I'm not asking for a scientific paper, just to reduce the huge ambiguities. They could have answered all three of my questions more clearly with no scientific jargon whatsoever. E.g. (assuming these examples are true for the sake of discussion): Instead of "acts like an ultra-hard, shatterproof glass when compressed", "with a bit more pressure than a soup can sitting on it becomes like an ultra hard shatterproof glass and retains it's shape" Instead of "withstand the equivalent of an elephant standing on it", how about "can support the weight of a full elephant across a 3" square" or "can support the weight of an elephant stepping on it". Both are very different, use no jargon, and at least if we can assume that the author was intentionally accurate will let us know the properties within a half an order of magnitude, instead of being so uncertain that we really have no clue as to it's actual utility.
