Imagine a pearlescent or nacreous airplane glinting in the sky. The Air Force is thinking that the same mechanisms that Oysters use to make pearl, or Abalone use to make mother-of-pearl could be used to coat various metallic surfaces. A process developed by modeling the natural ways these animals create enamels could provide an alternative to the high-temperature, toxic processes currently in use.
