No, the Na:Cl ratio should still be 1 to balance off the charges.

It's probably reducing the size of the salt crystals so that it disolves in your saliva quicker, allowing for the same taste with less mass of salt.

I would hazard a guess that they would be more interested in the crystal's physical formation. "Small" salt crystals already exist! Perhaps they can significantly adjust the atomic structure (less crazy that it sounds) to be optimal?

Increase surface area to mass ratio. Seems simple enough.

Sounds almost like an explanation I got for kosher salt.

Sounds neat, thanks for the explanation.
