GE posted this Tweet today to promote their development of high endurance materials. The science behind these processes is fascinating.

I post this not only because of the fun science content, but also because of the power of social media. Twitter allows you to promote and share like never before. It also opens up a good discussion on the proper uses of social media.

So if you are an educator and you have a Twitter account, try visiting the website and tweeting out which video you would like to see. Within 10 to 15 minutes, you'll get a Tweet back with a link to a video. I chose #Smash It. :)
