And the strength, lightness, high melting point and ability to resist corrosion of titanium make it an ideal material for building aircraft parts, supercars and medical implants but it can cost 50 times as much as steel.
German carmaker BMW - SGL Automotive's only customer and owner of 49% of its shares - uses the material to produce body parts for the main cabins of its futuristic plug-in models i3 Megacity and i8 sports car, which will hit the road in 2013 and 2014.
If it succeeds, the material could be used for jet-engine parts, allowing them to run at higher, more efficient temperatures.
Bulk buying of parts reduces each division's material cost (about 60% of the cost of an RV) by up to 4%.
The technique used by Green and Hollister is part of a burgeoning field called regenerative medicine, which involves engineering therapies -- using things like stem cells, or "body parts" constructed out of biological material -- to harness the body's ability to heal itself.
While at least some of these thefts must surely exist in the novel, the Wachowskis became masters of genre pastiche at the outset of that 1999 mega-franchise, and their visual take on this material feels cobbled-together from the spare parts of better films, including their own.
The second is to choose a thermoelectric material which conducts heat badly (so that different parts remain at different temperatures) but electricity well.
For instance, Arrow keeps three material planners on-site at AMX who handle parts flow and look for ways to substitute parts that Arrow can supply for less.
An increase in material wealth has not diminished many of the social problems associated with the most deprived parts of our society.

The material also contains negatively charged ions, which can be moved with electric pulses to different parts of the surface.
The game has complex puzzles, some as complicated as the material in the average college course, yet it does a far better job breaking objectives down into easily digestible parts.
