Yum… tool!

It’s one of those things where you say, “Hey, I already have a multitool, but … mmmm tasty!”

Engineers Create Transparent Material as Strong as Steel

Engineering researchers at the University of Michigan have created a material similar to “transparent aluminum,” the fantastic substance described by Scotty in Star Trek IV. In the Oct. 5 issue of Science, Nicholas Kotov showed that clay is good for far more than making bricks and expensive skincare products. The earthen material is made up of phenomenally strong nanometer-sized particles. When arranged neatly between thin layers of a sticky but weak plastic, the tiny bits of dirt act as the ultimate reinforcements — giving the ordinary material extraordinary strength. The sturdy composite could be used in lightweight armor or aircraft.

See, Michigan is good for something! I want my transparent aluminum, please.

  1. Whoa that thing looks pretty impressive!

  2. OO.. I want.

  3. Um what is this multitool called and where does one buy it?

  4. In the Star Wars universe, it’s “transparisteel.” This thrills me muchly.

  5. Leeloo Dallas mul-ti-tool!

    Oh my. That is rather sexy, isn’t it? It looks like it’s made of The Future :-)
