    I would not call this uncuttable. Its obviously cuttable. Its just taking a lot of effort to so.

    Uncuttable sounds a lot like unsinkable. Have they tried an Iceberg yet?

    I feel like I am seeing the beginning of "Ceramite". As someone who loves SpaceMarines, I approve.

    Am I the only one who's thinking about the process going to be needed for the repurposing of these so called indestructible material?

    This is extremely similar to the first generation composite armour used by USSR tanks. They too used ceramic balls (later shingled plates) encased in a metal matrix to fracture and stop incoming projectiles.

    If it's ceramic and foamed aluminum, I have to imagine it's pretty light too. That seems like a ridiculously useful substance.

    How you really test this stuff: use it to chain up an expensive bicycle in NYC.

    This is the same realm/concept as how composite-armor plating on modern-day tanks work.
