Seems like a pretty decent technical summary, but I'm not qualified to really evaluate the specific merits of their new nano-mag.

I think the big advancement is in the technique used to evenly distribute the nanoparticles? It sounds substantial especially if the technique works across a broad range of metals and particles.

Infusing custom particles into metal seems like a big "next step" in metalurgy (even call it alchemy). Someone will probably say 'they have been doing this for years, this is nothing new' but it's nice to imagine we will soon be getting to play with better metals.

I bet a lot of this science happens behind closed doors in labs funded by Apple and such? A metal improvement for them is worth so much they would have to invest in it.
