We\u2019ve all seen\u00a0Star Wars<\/em>,\u00a0Star Trek<\/em>, and\u00a0Doctor Who<\/em>. Consequently, we\u2019ve all wished we could have a hoverboard, laser gun, lightsaber, and, well, everything else.

What you may not have realized, however, is that many \u201csci-fi\u201d technologies already exist in some form or are being developed. We\u2019re not saying you\u2019re a year away from beaming up to a starship for a quick cruise over to Mars for your semiweekly Djem So class. Nevertheless, you might recognize the following ten technologies.<\/p>\n

10 A Real-Life Adamantium<\/strong><\/p>\n

Seattle-based company Modumetal has successfully harnessed the process of nanolamination, in which the electric field which moves metallic ions into place can be controlled to determine exact placement of said ions. Researchers have been able to use this system to deposit layers of metal upon each other. This helps to account for any microscopic faults in the metal, making corrosion and cracking nearly impossible.<\/p>\n

\n<\/span>Using this technique, Modumetal has successfully created a new class of metal both low in cost and extraordinarily strong. Metals such as steel, known for their strength and resilience to corrosion, bending, and cracking, can be made as much as ten times stronger.[1]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

This metal will likely see use in oil rigs, bridges, armor, building infrastructure, and other applications where steel is typically chosen. Due to its resistance to corrosion, oil rigs exposed to many corrosive\u00a0chemicals<\/a>\u00a0will become safer, cheaper, and…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
