Summary
It can be torn with two fingers, yet is strong enough for building space ships. This video presents a wealth of fascinating information about aluminum, an endlessly versatile material. From the tip of the Washington Monument to the six-pack in a fridge, aluminum is everywhere, and though ubiquitous, it's not your everyday metal. Aluminum can be stretched, pounded, melted and even turned into foam, yet is made out of a powder. All your 'pressing' questions about aluminum and it's many uses are answered, from skins for jets, to mirrors for telescopes, to baseball bats and aluminum foil.
