New laser stimulated state of matter

Transparent aluminium is ‘new state of matter’ - University of Oxford

Yup, that's right folks transparent aluminum. Ironically I was discussing the same matter just yesterday, only I was referencing one of the star trek movies. Now it looks like physicist have created a material Scotty would be proud of.

interesting!
too bad its for eUV only, and only for a very short time.. but hey, perhaps they find "stable isles", and we may hold completely new materials in our hands some day?

nice find!

Not in any of our lifetimes I'm afraid.
