It's just a shame the inventor's name doesn't match up with canon...

LOL and the creators being Brits, the name of the stuff itself doesn't match, that's transparent aluminium if you don't mind! :D

Awesome, even considering it's only transparant for a fraction of a second.

But I'm afraid I'm just too stupid to see how this is such a breakthrough. I mean, yeah, being able to change one thing into something else is awesome, but if you need a really really super fast high speed camera to even detect that there was a change at all before it's gone again, I find it hard to be all that impressed.
