Phosphating (non-electrolytic coatings)

...interface. In the neutralised film the solubility of metal phosphates is reduced, and they precipitate as crystals which are attracted to the surface of the metal electrostatically. Hydrogen embrittlement does not occur, unlike with electroplating. Accelerators, such as nitrates, chlorate or peroxide, speed up the coating reaction. Manufacture: The method of applying...

Back To The Future Part IV: What will 2045 be like?

...interface. This technology is surprisingly advanced. It has been possible for some time to control machines through brain control. Perhaps we will have those contact lenses from Torchwood that transmit everything the wearer sees. There have been some developments that might make them possible. But perhaps change will continue at a much slower pace than the past few...
