- MrBabyMan, on 10/10/2007, -4/+318Didn't Scotty invent this in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home?
- KevenM, on 10/14/2007, -13/+321This stuff has been around forever. It's what they wrap CD cases in.
- ivanxivann, on 10/10/2007, -1/+149Here's a picture of it.
It's pretty amazing. - df12, on 10/10/2007, -0/+134Close! Scotty invented "Transparent Aluminum."
- DiggMasterJ, on 10/10/2007, -2/+107that is what kept you from your music before DRM.
- srdeuss, on 10/18/2007, -15/+89but will it blend?
- BedlamX, on 10/10/2007, -0/+62nope Scotty didnt invent the stuff he simply traded the formula for material to construct a water tank
- amsterdamordeth, on 10/10/2007, -5/+55I wonder if jet fuel can melt it?
- KevenM, on 11/04/2007, -0/+50That was the first thing that jumped to mind.
That's kinda sad now that I think about it. - noeljohnhoward, on 10/10/2007, -1/+50you guys are awesome
- CommTHOR, on 10/10/2007, -2/+47The US government should be looking into this. Would make an excellent material for their next Nuclear Wessel.
- masgaster, on 10/10/2007, -0/+43Is it worth something to you, laddie?
- Kronos6948, on 10/10/2007, -0/+41"So, I see you're still working with polymers."
"Still?" - mindsnare, on 10/10/2007, -5/+44Oh.....I see what you did there
Respect - frieddonuts, on 10/10/2007, -2/+41Both Star Wars and Dune had something called plasteel (though Dune's was just steel with fibers integrated into the metal). Oh God, I hate myself.
- ClemsonRocker, on 10/10/2007, -0/+37"just use the keyboard"
"A keyboard, how quaint" - krisscofield, on 10/10/2007, -2/+37*picks up mouse* "Ah! Hello...computer!"
- drizzlelicious, on 10/10/2007, -0/+33Imagine a giant plastic tank strolling around
- Richandler, on 10/10/2007, -0/+26Lego buildings!!
- Godlike, on 10/10/2007, -1/+26I feel SO UTTERLY VINDICATED BY THIS THREAD DEAR GOD THANK YOU ALL!!! HAHAHAHA!!!! It's like for just once my weird reality coincides with someone else's!
- krisscofield, on 10/10/2007, -1/+25I read this and immediately thought of the windows on an X-Wing. *sigh*
- dopplerdog, on 10/10/2007, -0/+23Hmmm... see-through fem-trooper armor...
- ClemsonRocker, on 10/10/2007, -0/+23I believe it was called Transparisteel in Star Wars. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Transparisteel
- sinkhead, on 10/10/2007, -0/+22For once this comment might actually be relevant :P
- luet, on 10/10/2007, -4/+26I was just about to digg you down, but then I thought about it a bit harder.
They also use this stuff in video game accessory packaging. - lilSears, on 10/10/2007, -0/+22Storm trooper armor.
- Burn, on 10/10/2007, -0/+21Dugg for the mental image of a tank 'strolling'.
- s1ade, on 10/10/2007, -0/+20Sure is, but I love it every time reality catches up with something from sci-fi.
Just bring out the replicator already! - whatthefu, on 10/10/2007, -2/+21I feel like an outsider as I'm the only one who didn't think of anything science fiction related upon hearing about this :(
- shanealeslie, on 10/10/2007, -0/+17You're a Wonder Woman fan aren't you?
- st3vo, on 10/10/2007, -11/+28Pics or it didn't happen.
- Neiby, on 10/10/2007, -6/+22I think it's sad how many of us immediately thought of Star Trek IV when reading this article.
- shanethetrain, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15One of many new advances in the polymer arena with the growth of nanotechnology. Keep looking for these articles.
- nakile, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14So, does this mean we'll have transparent guns now?
- NovusVir, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14ah, the wonders of Plasteel
- Matt174e, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13I don't get it.
- NikoKun, on 10/10/2007, -2/+15You beat me to it... darn you all!
how nerdy of us... XD - doktorrocket, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14"Use a 25 cent CD opener, a butter knife, a razor blade, a nail file."
I tried that. I bought one of each. You'll never guess what they came wrapped in. - xister, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12Why, thank you for taking all the fun out of that joke....
- zerhynn, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13Old news, they made gamecubes out of it.
- egnaro1, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12I chuckled
- tehpwnrate, on 10/10/2007, -3/+14As a Star Wars fan, I thought of transparisteel. But to each his own Star ____.
- jtorkbob, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12Wow, you just might be on to something! The real reason we all... I mean a lot of people steal their music is because of the damn packaging!
- Fracture98, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11Yes. Yes you are.
- amsterdamordeth, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11question your is, what?
- SSCrow, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11Sounds like some serious grocery bags.
- amsterdamordeth, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10Do YOU talk like THIS in REAL life? My you're an angry individual.
Funny though that you assumed I was talking about the WTC, when I made no mention of it.... paranoid?
You are a ***** troll, and spend entirely to much time commenting on other people. Yes, laugh at me in real life, to my face.

No wonder you get buried every time you open your mouth. - MorbenDK, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Jettisoned into space?
- cranium, on 10/10/2007, -4/+13I wonder if its properties allow guns and knives to be made out of it.
- TheSexyGeek, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9The folks in Dubai must be pre-ordering mother-loads of this *****!
