No, these are peer reviewed, independent, scientific studies by the people that are developing this technology. To interpret the graphs, pick ONE colour and see what the effect on rf reflectivity is over a range of frequencies. As I said, huge reductions in the narrow band that is targeted and very little elsewhere. It's all to do with the dimentions of the inside of the nanotube. Result, radars at different frequencies will be affected to massively different degrees.

It's an easy matter to use a different frequency for, say, AI radar. The traditional band was due to historical physical limitations. Bad news for those relying on stealth.
