I'm only a year late on this...

Transparent aluminum.

In the movie Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, Scotty teaches a 20th century human how to make a substance called transparent aluminum, which is several times harder than glass.

Now, apparently, we've done it.

I thought Scotty taught them to make glass stronger than steel.

btw, How does he know that guy didn't invent it?
