Default Carbon Fiber's Days Are Numbered==Researchers create exceptionally strong and lightweight new metal

Per sms:

By next Christmas everyone will have donated their CF bicycles to the
poor, and will be buying replacements made of this new alloy.


That would be welcome news for windsurfers. Carbon-fiber booms and
masts have gone out of sight since the aircraft industry bid up the
price of carbon fiber..... so maybe the aircraft industry will
transition over to the new stuff if/when the cost ever becomes
competitive.
