It looks like the paper is paywalled and not yet on scihub but i did find 38 pages of supplemental information with more details than the article.

I will give it few weeks and we will no longer hear about it. There are many articles like this but as always nothing is developed.
This article was from September, and so far I haven't heard any updates.
I remember seeing it here a month ago...
A significant amount of researchers seem to author these kinds of papers that sound great but then can't be reliably reproduced, or are completely impractical in application. The NileRed video about his attempts to create the compressed wood "armor" was very illuminating to this point.
