Technically, the Wikipedia article is called Aluminium oxynitride. Please don't tell the mod. This title (Transparent Aluminum) is more informative and also works as a Star Trek reference, which isn't a bad thing.

No, it is not. It is no more "transparent aluminium" than glass is a "transparent silicon".

I mean, thats more or less correct, though. It just isn't like, what we make interstellar spaceship chassis out of. But we might put it in windows of the ISS.
