Any headline that talks about “stunning”, “shocking”, or “angering” scientists gets an immediate red flag for me, right up there with “breakthrough” battery tech.

Middle-aged men in white labcoats and with clipboard in hand, using the words "uncanny" and "eerie" in vague sentences.

Yes, and it's particularly obnoxious when they seem to have twisted a quote as an excuse for this: '"This was absolutely stunning to watch first-hand," said materials scientist Brad Boyc.' I'm pretty sure that use of the word means "beautiful", not "shocking."
