In the movie Star Trek 4 The Voyage Home, Captain Kirk and his closest roommates, go back in time to find two whales from the past so that they can be transported to the future where they are needed to save Earth but are extinct. Scotty needed to make a holding tank for the whales on the ship but had no money because that is also unavailable in the in the future. Based on his knowledge of future technology Scotty shows the head of the manufacturing company Transparent Aluminum.
Now this technology actually exists in the form of ALON, which has been appropriately nicknamed Transparent Aluminum. This ceramic is made of Aluminium, Oxygen, and Nitrogen. Once nothing but science fictionTransparent Aluminum, is now reality, Transparent Aluminum or Aluminum Oxynitride (ALON) is much stronger than glass and likely become cheaper to manufacture over time, but today it is used by NASA and the U.S, Military.
