So how long till transparent aluminium?

• noir_lord 8y ago
  Already exists under the brand name ALON (Aluminium Oxynitride). It's hard as hell for a transparent ceramic, obvious military applications but useful in other places as well.

    Transparent aluminum exists? Wow, that's cool!

    Calling it "transparent aluminum" is perhaps a tad misleading as it's only about 30% aluminum. Still very cool though.
