I've been reading off and on about this material for a few years, been waiting to see it out in production and replacing components like what August said...Also could replace glass in cars, windows in homes, laptop screens, etc...

The Secret Space Program has probably been using it for decades.

I remember that from the 1980s.

They asked Scotty one day, how do you beat the odds, how do you keep doing miracles.
Scotty laughed and said.."That's easy Lad" " If you know something is going to take 4 hours you tell them 10, that way when you do it quicker they think you are a miracle worker"
Scotty was my Hero.

My favorite episode of Star Trek Next Gen was when they found a derelict ship, and Scotty put himself in a permanent transporter loop to survive because life support was gone.
Scotty always won. No such thing as a no win situation for Scotty and Kirk
I am sad just thinking about him

I wonder if it is a conductor, or an insulator?

They were already trying to figure transparent aluminum when the voyage home was filmed I'd say.

I miss Scotty too.
