Transparent aluminium:
http://physicsweb.org/article/news/8/8/9
| Scientists in the US have developed a novel technique to make bulk quantities of glass from alumina for the first time. Anatoly Rosenflanz and colleagues at 3M in Minnesota used a "flame-spray" technique to alloy alumina (aluminium oxide) with rare-earth metal oxides to produce strong glass with good optical properties. The method avoids many of the problems encountered in conventional glass forming and could, say the team, be extended to other oxides (A Rosenflanz et al. 2004 Nature 430 761). |

Very cool. Now if that guy that just started the Antimatter research Corp can make something happen, we could actually get a Constellation class starship built before I die of old age.

Well, you knew they'd figure out this stuff sooner or later, right? I mean, Scotty did offer up the formula for transparent aluminium on an 80's style Macintosh if I recall. I'm sure it just took them a while to figure out all that advanced formula stuff he entered... after he tried talking in the mouse  
You know what I'm waiting for...
Remember those communicators they had on Star Trek? Kirk would just grab that handy little thing from his belt, and flip the top open, and then talk to Lt. Uhura or anyone else who had one of these wonderful devices. Now when will we have wonderful little toys like that? he he he
