For one thing, vitamin E is not a strong antioxidant to begin with. There are many comparable antioxidants such as vitamin C, and even far stronger ones such as compounds found in green tea, beta-carotene, lutein, and pycnogenol, which is derived from the pine tree.

Secondly, the antioxidants created by these researchers have unnatural molecular structures that may turn out to be hazardous -- not helpful -- to human health. So far, all the tests have been done in test tubes only.

Finally, you don't need a lab to create antioxidants for health when there's an abundance of substances from nature that already contain powerful antioxidants. My favorite sources are chlorella, green tea, spirulina, and sea vegetables like sea kelp and seaweed. If you want powerful antioxidants, look to superfoods grown in fresh water or salt water, not to laboratories.
