LiTraCon, short for light transmitting concrete, is an innovative new combination of optical fibers and light concrete. The resulting concrete is just as strong as conventional concrete, but it transmits light like glass. The optical fibers are small enough that they aren’t visible in the finished product; the surface of the concrete is homogenous while the structure remains sturdy.
Wow.
yes, but can they make transparent aluminum? Hmmm?????
(This will make no sense if you are not a trekkie lol)
PS — thanks for the prayers, I am doing much better today
I'm glad. (And yes, I thought of that one, too. 🙂 )
LOL
That totally made my day about the transparent aluminum…
That is awesome.
Isn't it, though? 🙂
one step closer to transporter technology . . .
More of a sideways step, really. 🙂 Still cool, though.
Ever read Dave Barry's article on transporters?
It's worth looking up, it is totally hilarious
No, I haven't–thanks for the tip, I'll have to track that one down.
