Hexaarylbiimidazole. I guess that's six aarylbiimidazoles.

The breakthrough here is greatly increasing the speed of the transition.

I once dated an aarylbiimidazole. She put a hex on me too.

Do they transit in 30 milliseconds?

Will they add this to contact lenses in the future? If so, then I won’t bother with LASIK.

How quickly did she go from dark blue to clear?

Quite some time. She had a lot of engrams.

I didn't think of that. It would help people with prescription lenses, wouldn't it.

No mention it this material blocks UV light.

If it doesn’t it is harmful as a sunglasses material.

True. It reacts to UV light but no mention of blocking it.

Yes, especially those who are finicky about sunglasses, like myself. I just want a pair that are the same size and shape as my regular glasses, but having a small head makes that a bit difficult.

I don't walk that fast either, so who cares

Whether the material blocks UV doesn’t matter- other UV blockers could be added to lenses that use this.

If you put a UV blocker on it, wouldn’t that stop it from working?

Cool. I wouldn't want to go blind in the three seconds before I became a crispy critter.
