minus-squareOhmsLawn@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up14·1 year agoThanks for that. Really cool stuff. “Aluminum oxynitride ceramics have been around since the 1980s, so it’s not new stuff by any means.” Says it costs 5X the price of standard bulletproof glass, but that it’s far stronger, and IR-transparent. Cool material.
