WIRED: Scientist Explains How Unsinkable Metal Works | WIRED

Soap

unsinkable cities yeahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!

What if mold or salt crystals grows on the hydrophobic surface?

when metals gona float in air ....

Now they just need to get some audio scientists to fix this video

I take it the etching would wear down really fast under everday conditions

Scientists - "This structure is unsinkable".

Iceberg that sank the Titanic - "hold my beer."

What if the surface gets scratched/damaged?
What if salts form on it or it gets dirty, or metal oxidates?
Do metals oxidate faster or slower?
Interesting concept, but as of yet I wouldn't trust a ship to float just with this, though it could at least slow down the sinking.

Now we can bring back the titanic

Isn't this technology at least 6 years old already? Where is my hydrophobic toilet and where is my non-stick frying pan?

Nature is beautiful

Most wood is buoyant as well... but as for modern ship building, ships have compartments and if enough compartments fill with water the ship will still sink... even with buoyant steel

Just push the air off the part with your hand and it will sink.

ICEBERG HAS ENTERED THE CHAT

Ha I remember ubering that guy and he was telling me about it

i wana see this on the tesla or bolliger truck with airless wheels

I'm interested to see if this hydrophobic surface could be used to reduce surface friction for ships. Anytime you can reduce fuel costs is always a good thing.

Why does this guy look like mrbeast with glasses and a hair cut

You can't create an unsinkable ship with this... It's a special technique, not a material...🤨🤨🤨
