There is a course called Resistant Materials?
So is a chippie, or carpenter, now called a Resistant Materials Development Technician?

Another cool trick was boiling liquids in test tubes too quickly so that a bubble of air forced the liquid out at high speed - point it across the room for a surprisingly dangerous weapon.
