The bicycle industry will look to see if these new titanium alloy mixtures can make their bikes light as a feather and at the same time extremely tough. The wonders of space age metallurgy.

It really is a terrific discovery-with a massive potential.
I kept waiting to read about this type of lightweight but supra strong and flexible metal being used in cars..since the founder works for Toyota.
Gish...wonder what the gas savings would be if a car were light enough to be lifted, or at least tipped, by hand. Wondrous!

And motorists... among them some Freepers... will still flip us the bird for having the gall to ride on THEIR roads.

Just wait until China, Iran, and North Korea get ahold of this stuff.

bicycles? - only J F'n Kerry and his merry band of Spandex Fascists would appreciate that.

Titanium would be excellent in SUVs. Strong, light, and capable of maintaining structural integrity at Mach 2+.

Having once been surrounded and accosted by what can only be termed a spitting, profane mob of "bicycle fascists" in downtown San Francisco, all I can say is that rude behavior is not the exclusive territory of motorists. My "sin" was driving a red Corvette and being convenient, nothing more.

Takashi Saito, a Japanese researcher who appears to have shattered the glass ceiling on metal-alloy development limitations. Japanese steel just hasn't been the same since Hattori Hanzo retired.
