It matches marketing hype, but they seem to have a timeline of this summer. Does anyone know the drawbacks of this material?

> The result is a material that has 50% more tensile strength than steel with a strength-to-weight ratio that’s 10 times better ...

Maybe torsional, compression, flex, etc. strength isn't so good?

Otherwise, why focus on the construction industry? How about airplanes? Cars and trucks?
