The way the article is written it is unclear if they have actually manufactured this yet or if it is still theoretical. . . . .anyone know?
"and turned to pure science, specifically quantum mechanics and high-powered computer computation, to create new mixtures of metal which, one outside scientist says, have spectacular properties of strength and flexibility...In the April 17 issue of the journal Science, Saito's team writes that their titanium-based alloys exhibit "super" properties, such as ultrahigh strength and super elasticity."
Sounds like the claim of new metals being manufactured is made, but not yet completely beleived. When scientists want to prove they made a new metal, I think they at least do a public demo with the media there.
