Transparent Aluminum was once pure science fiction, a technical term used in a Star Trek movie from the 80s. | Interesting Engineering

🔬 Unlike ordinary glass, transparent ceramics offer unparalleled chemical, scratch, and impact resistance. They are built to withstand the toughest challenges, surpassing the limits of traditional glass-based solutions. However, their manufacturing process often involves high heat, high-pressure conditions, impacting production efficiency and costs. By reimagining the manufacturing process, researchers from ST Engineering and National University of Singapore are revolutionising the way transpar
