If your soles snag on the sheets when you slide into bed, buff away calluses and dry skin with the Artemis Woman Pedi - Buffer ($ 19.99), a pedicure «power tool» that uses a rotating tip
made of aluminum oxide crystals.
But now researchers have developed a film
made of aluminum oxide that has a refractive index as low as 1.025 but that is mechanically stiff.

At the annual meeting
of the American Physical Society and in the 12 March issue
of Physical Review Letters, Kociak and his colleagues at the French national research agency CNRS and the Russian Academy
of Sciences in Chernogolovka showed that empty nanotubes can also carry electron pairs between nonsuperconducting electrodes (in this case, metal pads
made from a sandwich
of aluminum oxide, platinum, and gold).
The cluster we report in this paper serves as an excellent solution precursor to
make very smooth thin films
of amorphous
aluminum indium
oxide, a semiconductor material that can be used in transparent thin - film transistors.»
The fact that the protective
aluminum oxide layer is not incorporated on the outside, as often attempted by other researchers, also
makes it possible to apply a broad range
of materials on both sides
of the solar cell and allows the maximum penetration
of light in the perovskite layer and thereby the optimum utilization
of electrical current.
Sapphire Glass is
made out
of crystallizing
aluminum oxide, produced at high temperatures and pressures.
