Mmmm, smells like cheap titanium!

DARPA is trying to make titanium cheap. As a raw material, it’s currently about $35 a pound, and they’re looking to create production methods that will bring it down to less than $4/lb.

That’s so sexy.

  2. Man. Does this mean we’re not going to be able to refer to the stuff as “unobtainium” any more?
