Can it fry an egg over easy?
This is vastly over-hyped. Always be careful of Chinese scientific literature. Much is good but much is not so good.
Sounds like with this wonder-material he should go for the Bill Gate’s Condom Award!
is it’s name “Ginger”?
It's called "Duct Tape".
This was first invented by cartoonist Al Capp in 1948. It is called a Shmoo.

According to Capp, the US government rounded up all the Shmoo and put them on a guarded, high security reservation, noting that they would be bad for the economy, and while the people have a right to pursue happiness, they do not have a right to achieve it.
Is it bullet-proof? Can I pound nails in with it? Does it taste good and can it sustain life indefinitely? Can I cut down a tree with it? Is it stronger than steel? Does it turn water to gold?
If so, I want some!
Pretty cool.
On a somewhat related side note, check this out. You can buy aerogel and other cool stuff like this.

I thought NASA was keeping this close to the chest but apparently it is available to the public, albeit expensive.
I am tempted to get some just for the heck of it (and rabid curiosity).
TiO2 is decades old stuff that was promoted for destruction of hazardous material like PCBs and other organics. It works on small scale but has never been practical. The way it works is to absorb UV energy and use it to create radicals from water which are highly reactive ions that combine with organic molecules to destroy them. The need for UV limits its application. There are formulations of TiO2 called low band-gap that can work with regular light instead of UV. As some have said you have to be skeptical about research from some parts of the world. I dont know about singapore but India is rampant with BS research.
