Transparent Aluminum anyone?: "Impossible" 2D material is light as plastic and stronger than steel (2 minute read)

Scientists from MIT have developed a scalable production method that allows polymers to form 2D sheets while keeping their strength intact. Using the method, the team developed a material called 2DPA-1. 2DPA-1 is an extremely thin and lightweight material with a yield strength twice that of steel. It can take six times more force than bulletproof glass and it is completely impermeable to gases and liquids. The material could be used as a protective coating for vehicles and electronic devices and even as construction material.

But, can you build Ships and Planes (fighters) out of it? And we thought plastics were indestructible before. They do need to figure out how to convert all the OLD plastic into NEW plastic in an easy, and economical, way. Wall-E world anyone?

Anyone else see anything wrong with this recent Fox News front page:

Dem finally ends school mask mandate as liberals are caught red-handed breaking their own rules

• Obama spotted maskless, surrounded by masked construction workers at new Hawaii mansion
• Pete Hegseth: New Jersey lifting school mask mandate is 'political,' not based on science
• CNN analyst blames Republicans' COVID posture for ongoing school closures
• 'Face the Nation' focus group of parents sound off on school closures, masking: 'Nasty mental health crisis'
• 
  
  When this:
  ON THE BRINK US expecting full-scale war any moment at Russia-Ukraine border
  
  is happening?
  
  No? Must be just me then... I cannot believe what the News folks thinks important.
  

So I've put one of my Baofeng handhelds, a 2-meter/440 mobile, and my 857d in a Faraday bag in a metal storage box I have in the garage for "just in case." Which will leave me using my other Baofeng hand-held and the 991 for every day use. When the SHTF and "someone" sets off an EMP I want to have a couple of radio's to not talk to anyone on.

And I may add one of my laptops and, maybe, a tablet. And my tvshows backup disc so I can finish NCIS.

Because I'm an over-reactor. At least, according to my friends.

All three of them.
