There were discussions of this material several years back also, but
that's the last I heard of it till now.


And in reference to the subject - does being "glass" actually imply
being transparent?

Metal glass is not transparent, yet.

How would you like large windows made of 100% diamond?

They like to imply it does, but it doesn't of course.
It's all related to that Star Trek scene.
