Yale Scientists Create "Plastic Metal"

(From Gizmag News): Scientists at Yale University
have done what materials scientists have been trying to do for decades –
create a material that boasts the look, strength and durability of
metal that can be molded into complex shapes as simply and cheaply as
plastic. The scientists say the development could have the same impact
on society as the development of synthetic plastics last century and
they have already used the novel metals to create complex shapes, such
as metallic bottles, watch cases, miniature resonators and biomedical
implants, that are twice as strong as typical steel and can be molded in
less than a minute.

Myself and others have been predicting this for decades: A "plasteel" material that has the strength and hardness of steel with the moldability and elasticity of polymers. This could indeed lead to a whole new way to process metals and materials.
Tom Bearden discusses how certain scalar waves can be used to change the lattice bonds of metals and other materials, to make the material liquid at room temperature, which can be molded and cast and poured into shape, and then the effect wears off, and the material hardens, without heat.
