So a guys at work gave me this link.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20090729/sc_livescience/scientistsclaimnewstateofmattercreated

seem interesting. They have a long way to go to get the Star Trek idea of "Transparent aluminum"
but it is an interesting start.

the invisible effect lasted for only an extremely brief period - an estimated 40 femtoseconds

Which means if you're thinking of using it to transport some whales, you had better be damned quick about it.

/1 femtosecond = .0000000000000001 second

Yes, Dana I did check the amount of time. that is also why I used "" around the statement "Transparent aluminum" because this isn't actually the same thing, but it is an interesting start to making that possible.
