Remember Transparent Aluminum?


In Star Trek IV, Scotty trades the formula for transparent aluminum for large sheets of Plexiglas. Now, scientists have done him one better and are creating transparent sheets of carbon nanotubes that are stronger than steel.

I'm thinking large hotel chains will start using these in their beach-side resorts at some point. Just a thought.
