Ann Arbor (MI) - Transparent aluminum has been the dream of many ever since it was first mentioned in a popular Sci-Fi movie a couple decades back. But researchers at the University of Michigan may have done that one better. It could almost be called "transparent steel".

So it begins...


Wonder what a thick peice of that would be able to do..

New windshields?
New Body Armor?
Bullet Proof vest?


I really like the idea of how it ca be broken and then reshaped without losing ANY of it's strength... meaning it should indefinitely be reuseable.
