How Transparent Aluminum Could Make Star Trek Technology a Reality

I'm curious if this could be developed to be used in laser sintering printers.

sapphire?

At last, we can house a couple whales with a window 1 inch think.

How have i never seen this channel before? I LOVE this kinda tech/science videos. Definitely liking the vid.

can i get some dice for dnd made of this stuff?

You have misspelt aluminium

Im hoping to see it in iphone screen

Please don’t say Aljuminum like that. I prefer aluminium anyway

Why dont we use this material often?

A lot of brainiacs on this thread - why didn’t ya geniuses get together and put this out years ago 😂

Aluminium not aluminum

Only 2,000 years since this was brought before Caesar 😂

It's a ceramic, like those used in body armour - but Aluminium Oxide ceramics are not as tough as those used for armour
The main advantage it has is it is transparent ... but it only has niche uses as it's much more expensive than the non-transparent forms, and other cheaper materials are transparent and good enough, and so it's is only used where needed

Would be fun to make an Alon Mask for Halloween 😀

YES I SAW THIS EPISODE. HOLLYWOOD KNOWS THINGS. FYI. THE GOV ACTUALLY HAS TGE ARNOLD TERMINATOR & THE LIQUID SILVER TERMINATOR ITS CALLED LIQUID NANOTECHNOLOGY. LOOK UP LIQUID NANOTECHNOLOGY

We need this for Smartphone screens finally so we cand drop our phones and not break screens.

Is this lighter than glass also?

If you are gonna have windows on a space shuttle (not necessary) you would want glass as well, to absorb the excess infrared

Al-Yu-Minem?
Alu-mini-um.

An alon phone screen sounds amazing!

so is this shit ever gonna be used in comercial products or what

Just more of that Roswell stuff

Good to know that the ocean gate titan didn't break any windows

nitrogen doped sapphire

Is aluminum anything like the metal aluminium? 🤔

This is called sapphire

it is in no way surprising that it has been around for so long. And it is in no way surprising that we dont have access to these materials for if we did, we would build our houses and cars from them and would not have to be ripped off year after year by these companies that sell us shit materials that break down. another phone, another tv, another roof, another stove , another fucking dishwasher , the list goes on.

Okay, this is pissing me off! How are you going to have someone with a English accent pronounce aluminum like Americans do. It's aluminium two British Wanks! Speak your own Silly language, and leave America-ese to Americans!

Transparent aluminum was described in an article called 'Man Made Rubbies' by O. Ivan Lee as a one of the steps in creating artificial rubies. According to the article, the technique of producing this material was well established and nothing new.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, was in 'Science and Invention' magazine from August 1920 !!!

Was this written by ChatGPT?

So it's as heavy as ceramic.which is heavy.

This has been around for decades and there is no future in this.

be nice if my prescription glasses were made out of such material

Would look cool on premium tesla

when my uncle was in the sas, he used alon as a vest. much lighter than those dead weighted vests.

This needs to be used in firearms optics

spaceships should just use big space rocks for a shield, disposable and durable

He pronounced aluminum wrong

So it's basically an aluminum glass 🤔

Al2O3 is also glass if you want.

Wish this tech would be kept out of military hands.
Reason is that once something is made that the military can use to say perhaps defend themselves with then other militaries start making stuff more powerful to destroy it.
Even worse some or many militaries might even use it to start conflicts as well.
Sad that these ways of thinking about tech will never end until the world is completely destroyed by tech.

It’s used on the Enterprise as a transparent view screen!

Wonder Woman's invisible jet might be a reality. :D

well if it is ALYUMINUM, it can really be transparent 😂

I want my glasses made of transparent aluminum no more scratches or chips.

Tesla Phone unbreakable glass could fund itz

They also successfully made transparent tungsten based nano composites for radiation shielding and transparent solar cells partially made out of tungsten. I imagine such materials would be very useful for bulletproof glass on military vehicles!

Oh. A keyboard? How quaint.

Hey Apple!! We the people of Apple Consumers want this for your iPhone Screen Glass!! Thank me later. 😅😏 - 🤔no more cracked iPhone screens 😏😏😊
