I first read about this (in the real world, as opposed to Trek) a few years
ago, but I hadn’t heard anything since then. Then as now, it was touted as
a more durable material for use in face shields in helmets and the like.

I think it also will have interesting implications for the aviation and
automotive industries. Just think of the interesting window shapes you can
make when you aren’t limited by the brittle nature of glass.

Being a ceramic, its ductility would be nil so I’m not too confident they could
do too many shapes just yet.
All the same, its a great creation and it would seem to pose many forming
challenges...
