nearly invisible to extreme ultraviolet radiation... Let me guess. "Extreme UV" means beyond the visible spectrum? In other words, this stuff isn't transparent at all? Kinda like 0bammy and company?

Which this administration would promptly confiscate and rename "miracle metal".

I’ll be checking back here occasionally for the posted pic.

I just tried a Google search for "transparent aluminum" and the pic I was referring to popped right up.

http://www.rense.com/general20/transparentalum.htm

Some sources refer to it as "transparent alumina", a ceramic oxide made from finely powdered aluminum subjected to intense heat. Perhaps some metallurgists here can explain the distinction between this and what is being described in the new article.

...a short pulse from the FLASH laser ‘knocked out’ a core electron from every aluminum atom in a sample...

So I guess the results of this process were positive... /g

Not the European version. Pretty good stuff but not up to a good German pils and not even close to a Guinness.

Too late. By reading this post you identified yourself as a geek. Else, why would you even read it? LOL

Still better than Schlitz which was heave inducing. And that’s after the first beer.
