Joyrex Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 http://www.physorg.com/news167925273.html Quote (PhysOrg.com) -- Oxford scientists have created a transparent form of aluminium by bombarding the metal with the world’s most powerful soft X-ray laser. 'Transparent aluminium' previously only existed in science fiction, featuring in the movie Star Trek IV, but the real material is an exotic new state of matter with implications for planetary science and nuclear fusion.

Guest Stoppit Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Quote Whilst the invisible effect lasted for only an extremely brief period - an estimated 40 femtoseconds Bah, only 40 femtoseconds? that's rubbish. I was hoping for at least 50. Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/47699-transparent-aluminum/#findComment-1091928 Share on other sites More sharing options...
