This announcement is: We have managed to do this for a small sample in a lab using specialised equipment, likely taking days to produce one test item.
That is a long, long way from: We have scaled this up to a automated process that produces thousands of identical sheets of glass per day that will cover tens of thousands of phones.
The scientists have proved it is possible, there are now another 100 steps for the engineers it work through to see if it can scale economically.
