Transparent aluminum: Tiny acid droplets turn metal into glass-like material
Transparent aluminum oxide (TAlOx), a real material despite its sci-fi name, is incredibly hard and resistant to scratches, making it perfect for protective coatings on electronics, optical sensors, and solar panels. On the sci-fi show Star Trek, it is even used for starship windows and spacefaring ...
How do we know he didn't invent the bloody thing?
Okay, now make large sheets of the stuff because we need to transport whales... Somewhere.
Err I'm a whale who's totally cool with you taking me off this planet if that's where you happened to be going, not that that's what I'm saying or anything.
Um whale sounds
That’s just (synthetic) sapphire, right?
Aluminimum Oxide sure is and it can be make clear, I don't know why they added the T or x connotation This article appears to be more on a new method of creating that directly out of Al. That said, "electrowetting" is the name of my new rock band, or is it the name of your sex tape?
That's the ticket, laddie.
NileRed here we come
That video is going to be awesome a year from now
Oh yeah. At least it'll be 5 hours long
Scotty was right
Just don't hand him a mouse (at least not without a demonstration of how to use it).
How quaint.
I mean... yes, of course he was.
That’s the ticket, laddie.
I love science. The last time they were trying to figure out how to make a strong and moldable "glass" they accidentally discovered super glue.
If they can really make aluminum completely clear the applications for such a thing would be pretty wide.
So we get a gem fused to aluminium. Cool
So invisible jets (with wondrous pilots) when?
(Or do we just wait for pollution to turn the rain acidic like this?)
