I think that’s right, yes… from TFA:
> It's two times stronger than steel, three times stronger than aluminum, and twice as strong as the same alloy made in a conventional way.
The source paper in Science, fwiw:
https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aec4995 https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aec4995
And as a personal exercise in intellectual humility, I cast my eyes over the supplementary materials (as those are free-to-the-public)… I’d recommend it:
