This could be quite a revolutionary find so long as the research can be replicated and validated.

However, we may be a ways off from seeing it actually implemented…

> The team says the exact mechanism behind this extreme thermal stability isn't totally clear, but that perhaps bond lengths, angles and oxygen atom positions are changing in concert with one another to preserve the overall volume.

With that said, I am optimistic and very hopeful that answers - and a more elaborate description of its operation and its operational boundaries - are discovered soon. Only then could I see, say, the USAF utilizing this as the “skin” for their latest generation craft, particularly, UAVs or missiles operating at Mach >=5.
