Hot on the heels of transparent concrete comes a see-through aluminum, technically an aluminum oxide. Beverly Tang phloggs about this (relatively? 2002? 2004?) new material, otherwise known as aluminate glasses. Field day.

Scott gave the up the blueprint for this material in exchange for tanks big enough to hold two whales. Great to see the future unfolding.
