Modumetal "Adamantium"
I found a YouTube video where some bald Canadian gave vague descriptions of ten real Sci Fi technologies and he mentioned this stuff. I did not find much, just:

Imagine triple chrome plating a part with an electrolyte that contains copper, nickel and chrome all at once, then modulating the current to lay down each material in nano-scale layers.
It appears that that is what the claim is. |

And the massively expensive machinery used to create the microchips. Most of this tech is accurate to at least the micrometer, if not better.
|
The width of traces on a chip are currently in the 10s of nanometers scale. Fabbing chips is essentially an expensive means of developing a photograph.
Materials scientists are working on other means of self-organizing assembly on small scales. |

Self-assembly of nanoparticles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I don't pretend to understand all of that, especially 3.2.2.2 Large Amplitude Oscillatory Shear (LAOS). It could be more like developing Kodachrome or photocopying than fabbing chips. |

Also, if I understand it correctly, the tech isn't limited to "machining" parts of uniform composition. It can create microstructured composites. Think e.g. creating something like a seashell: Seashells Get Their Strength from Interlocking 'Bricks' |

Here is <<Biorock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia>> http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...2C_photo_2.jpg I talked to this guy Wolf Hilbertz at a time when he was being 'negotiated' against by the concrete industry. Wikipedia kind of papers over why he fled to Germany, but it's now 'cathodic protection' for failing concrete structures, essentially gluing them back together: Applicability of Electrodeposition as a Repairing Method for Deteriorated Marine Concrete Structures Mr Hilbertz was thinking more in terms of a 3D printer head on an arm that would would extrude or eat building members as necessary. I've still got the original paper he did somewhere. His method reportedly would fill a simple wooden mold, similar to the claim by Modumetal. Also Hilbetz had to pulse his DC bias negative occasionally to drive off hydrogen bubbles. These guys may have just found a means of modulating AC to find the sweet spot. Or, I suppose, not... |
