Among the national broadcast news programs and stations which featured Company management were "CBS Evening News with Katie Couric," MSNBC, ABC, CNN and several programs on Fox News Channel including, "The O'Reilly Factor," "Fox and Friends," FOX News, "The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet" and WNYW Fox 5's "Good Day New York" and 48 other broadcast media outlets nationwide. Print coverage included Newsday, The New York Daily News, The Toronto Star and Electronic Engineering Times.

"The tragedy in Minneapolis has clearly demonstrated that without a technologically advanced and accurate system for finding cracks in metal, these cracks will inevitably spread, leading to a serious undermining of highway safety and unnecessary loss of lives," said Robert M. Bernstein, CEO of Material Technologies. "We have developed an effective method to pinpoint growing cracks as small as .01 inches, and we've shown that a simple inspection using our system is worth millions of dollars and will save lives." The EFS (Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor) he noted, measures the activity of growing cracks in metal bridges during ordinary traffic conditions, similar to the way an EKG monitors a heart.

Mr. Bernstein said visual inspection is the primary method of checking bridges for possible metal fatigue and potential catastrophic failure, noting that the Federal Highway Administration found that over 90% of the fatigue cracks were missed with visual inspection. "Material Technologies' EFS system is the only one that can determine not only whether cracks are growing, but also if they are growing slowly or rapidly, and whether these cracks pose an immediate threat," Mr. Bernstein stated.
