Presumably, some initial information was fed into the start of this reporting process. Multiple stages of this process had near-total incomprehension of the information yet performed full ingestion and reconstitution of it anyway, leading to this terminally-confused output.
The science daily article is just incorrect to call this a superalloy, which it is not. This is a high entropy refractory alloy (HfNbTaTiZr), superalloys are usually based on lighter metals and they usually have only one dominant element while HEAs have 4+ dominant elements

I have to agree. It doesn't explain what a super alloy is or why this one is interesting. Fortunately it does link to the paper, https://doi.org/10.1126/science.aec4995 Also I'm not sure why Science Daily calls it the first, since there are others: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superalloy#Applications
