It isn¡t but not so strange, even in Nature exist Transparent Aluminium, called Saphires and Rubies. It's called transparent Metal, because of it's atomic structure cristaline, not amorph like normal cristal of an Window. Metal, also Aluminium has a cristaline structure.

"Wealth beyond the dreams of avarice!" I love how my guys stood at each of the factory owner's shoulders. A southerner and a Scotsman, applying charm, unstoppable combo. Super good news IRL, thanks for feeding the craving for good news crossed over with nerd news.

It's amazing that LLMs have studied the internet for how humans write articles, and now they type like a fuckin SeO sPeCIaLiST

Tests show that a laminated pane of ALON 1.6″ thick can stop a 50 caliber rifle round, something even 3.7″ of traditional “bullet-proof” glass can’t do.

Yeah that’ll really protect my food!

Used as an insulator? Are you sure?

That's not pure aluminium, it's chemically altered. Everything is possible.

Same as ceramic, even used in high Voltage
