"Using a tabletop laser, University of Rochester optical scientists have turned pure aluminum, gold. And blue. And gray. And many other colors. And it works for every metal tested, including platinum, titanium, tungsten, silver, and gold. Chunlei Guo, the researcher who a year ago used intense laser light to alter the properties of a variety of metals to render them pitch black, has pushed the same process further in a paper in today's Applied Physics Letters. He now believes it's possible to alter the properties of any metal to turn it any color-even multi-colored iridescence like a butterfly's wings. ..."

A metal that can be pounded into a shape?
This is the property of malleability; all metals have it.
Can you shape metals by hitting them with a hammer?
Yes.
What metal can easily be beaten into shape easily?
Malleable metals can be beaten into a shape. Some of them are:goldsilverleadironcopper
Why don't metals break when pounded into sheets or drawn into wires?
because they are maleable and change shape without breaking due to yield point where material becomes plastic. The metal is strain hardened and becomes stronger
What is the different shape of metal and nonmetal?
Metals and nonmetals are shaped to suit the task in hand. They may be almost any shape.
Why do metallic substances change shape when struck?
Malleability is a property of all metals.
Process causing protein shape to change in response to heat?
Denaturation- The change in shape of proteins and loss of their function when exposed to heat, acids, bases, and/or heavy metals
Is three properties of metals that are caused by metallic bonding?
they are shiny, ductile and malleable, which means that they can change shape.
Can the shape of metals be easily changed?
The shape of all metals (when in solid state) can be easily changed.
A metal that can be pounded into a shape?
This is the property of malleability; all metals have it.
Can you shape metals by hitting them with a hammer?
Yes.
What is the difference between an alloy and a smart alloy?
An alloy is a mixture of two or more different metals or non metals whiles A smart alloy is an alloy that returns to it original shape when heated................................... An alloy is a mixture of a metal with at least one other element. A smart alloy is an alloy that will make one change when effected by an outside force (e.g.: heat, pressure, etc.) and will change back, whether that is a change in shape or produced voltage.
Is a change of a shape a chemical change?
no a change in shape is physical change
Can its shape be change?
can solid change shape
What bond flattened and shape metals?
metallic bonds
What metal can easily be beaten into shape easily?
Malleable metals can be beaten into a shape. Some of them are:goldsilverleadironcopper
What is the word used to indicate that metals can be beaten into shape?
malleable
