I must say Bert's comment about this sounds more realistic than some others..
The probability of amateur scientist to come up with something like it was implied in the video is VERY low.
First, new materials research in general is very expensive, multidisciplinary sport... and today it is done by large teams of scientists. (and the same was the case 20 years ago).
If this material sample production was within the capability of single amateur guy, it is interesting why it wasn't formulated much earlier by one or several of those teams (and I am sure many were and are trying to do the same or better).
While the possibilities of application of such material could blow one's mind.... this still doesn't mean this is really real.
I might be wrong, though.... We shall see.... (or not).
