Chinese scientists have reportedly developed glass material as hard as a diamond tentatively named AM-III which can widely be used in the hi-tech industry. The AM-III is apparently a semiconductor which can reportedly pass electric current.

AM-III: Now, Chinese scientists develop glass as hard as a diamond; will it be used for weapons?

Chinese researchers have developed a technology that they claim could see an object hidden over a kilometre far. The scientists say that non-line-of-sight (NLOS) imaging could be used for everything from policing to defence, reports SCMP.
