The universe is full of weird substances like liquid metal and whatever preservative keeps Larry King alive. But mankind isn’t happy to accept the weirdness of nature when we can create our own abominations of science that, due to the miracle of technology, spit in nature’s face and call it retarded.

- Ferrofluids
- Aerogel
- Perfluorocarbons
- Elastic Conductors
- Non-Newtonian Fluids
- Transparent Alumina
- Carbon Nanotubes
