so when you computer breaks beat the living shit out of it, it'll be fine then you fix it. I think this metal has invaluable stress relieving abilities =p.

Looks amazing!
I wonder how long it'll be before computer parts come on PCBs made of it... imagine a gfx card from this stuff rolled into a tube and a fan at one end. :o)

It reminds me of the stuff the "flying saucer" that is said to have crashed in Roswell was supposed to be made of.

It was metal you could bend however you wished, which would then regain its shape, according to the first testimonies.

Before the whole weather balloon thing.

well if PCB&#39;s were made of this stuff all components would be smaller so you would get better air flow as well :rolleyes: . I wonder if this stuff will ever take off? The production cost of this stuff will know doubt be huge accoriding to the developer <_< . Then again it could be :alien: aliens :alien: who crashed trying to make a buck on Earth

Wow&#33; Amazing. That looks like very interesting stuff. You&#39;ve got my imagination running @ 100 MPH thinking of all the things that could be made with it.

I wonder about its costs. :wacko:

That’s speedy, if you consider that Metal Rubber, a product of nanotechnology, must be fabricated molecule by molecule.

I imagine pretty damn expensive. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
