I would think that finding the material with the right strength vs flexing properties and channels of the correct widths on the order of tens of nanometers might be kind of hard to come by. Coming up with the basic idea behind the process may be simple, but actually making it work is, I'm sure, orders of magnitude more difficult.

Right, so it just happens that the exact material found to have these qualifications is PEG, one of the most used emulsifying agents on the planet (makeup, synthetic motor oil, paint balls, hand lotion, even food).

Doubtful. It's more likely that the scientist was talking up the discovery by explaining it in grandious language to make it seem more fantastic.

I wouldn't be surprised if others have already done the same thing, but they just don't have a well tuned nationalist PR system like South Korea hyping it.
