Expect To See Plastic Sky Scrapers

Nanotech has come a log ways since the advent of the bucky ball. Now we have super plastic! MSNBC did an article on a breakthrough by scientists of the nanoscale order. They have figured out a way to layer polymers to create a transparent piece of plastic that has the tensile strength of steel.

Unfortunately the time it would take to make something large and useful is measured in light years. By the time they made something cool we could be moving to mars because the sun is running out of steam.

Actually I lied. The process is simple and super plastic could be forming unbreakable Tupperware within a year. Expect it to be on the pricey side of the moon though.
