"It's hard to say if boffins at Oxford University got their inspiration from Nimoy and Co., but one thing's for sure: they aren't joking about the creation of transparent aluminum. In what can only be described as a breakthrough for the ages, a team of mad scientists across the way have created \"a completely new state of matter nobody has seen before\" by blasting aluminum walls (around one-inch thick) with brief pulses of soft X-ray light, each of which is \"more powerful than the output of a power plant that provides electricity to a whole city.\" For approximately 40 femtoseconds, an \"invisible effect\" is seen, giving the gurus hope that their experiment could lead to new studies in exotic states of matter. For a taste of exactly what we mean, feel free to voice command your PC to jump past the break. Or use the keyboard, if you're feeling quaint."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
