Taking metal to extremes

Futurum

PLASMA – a physical state (similar to a gas) in which the atoms of a material are split up into separate electrons and nuclei. However, at some point there needs to be a physical barrier, and the temperature here could still be hotter than molten lava. NANO-PARTICLE – the term for a particle between 1 and 100 nanometres in size.
