This actually concerns me. People nowadays are getting more and more materialistic. Does anyone care about death anymore and why we exist? Aren’t anyone questioning why we are FORCED to be born into this world? I didn’t choose to be a male or look the way I do or live in this country or living in the 21st century. Why am I here and where was I before I was born and where am I going when I die? Why scientists can solve the brain or consciousness which is a metaphysical thing. Yes, existential crisis is what I’m facing all the time and this can’t be the only thing life is about. What is my purpose? Is there a purpose set or me or do I make my own purpose? Shouldn’t I find that ultimate purpose in life not just me but everyone else have an ultimate and objective purpose not subjective ones like being a scientist or doctor. What is our objective purpose in life that every mankind can follow?
This is very stiff material. Maybe good for race cars which have non deformable crash structures, but not passenger cars which are meant to crumple. Then again, not sure how tough this material is.
I'm also amazed by the clarity of the image and the capability of recording clear real time video at this magnification. For comparison, 4µm (40,000 atoms in length) is a common size for bacteria, although they can be as small as 0.2µm (2,000 atoms in length). The fist lattice in the video seems to be 10µm in width (100,000 atoms wide).
@@Gr3nadgr3gory It sounds like the standard ~1000 degC carbon polymer cooking process like what creates poly-acrylonitrile fibers or Zylon, but in a projective 3D printing method with lasers. It is probably not close to the maximum bond strength, and is likely only strong due to its structural shape. If we can 3D print with graphyne-type, graphene/nanotube-hexagonal, nanorod, and hexagonal metal borides nitrides and carbides then we have an ultra-meta-material. This could get SpaceX closer to making a feasible rocket shell versus the low carbon stainless they are using now, or at least compositing the materials together.
One question I've always had, which perhaps you answered and I missed; why do we not do this with other atoms? When I hear about nano structures it's always about carbon; can we not do this with other elements?
Carbon forms very strong (covalent) bonds between the atoms and as far as I know, no other material is known to have nearly as many different structures in which it appears. It can bind to up to 4 neighbors, which is the maximum for non-metallic bonds. Metallic and ionic bonding is in general weaker. She briefly scratched that we know about carbon in form of chains (not that interesting), rings (benzol), planes (graphene = just linked rings, 2D space filling), volume filling (diamond, face centered cubic crystal with 2 atom basis of I remember correctly) and also funny hollow shapes (flourene = the shown football C_60, and closed tubes) Carbon bonds are incredibly strong and is relatively easy to make a sample with a small number of defects in the lattice. Graphene for example can be obtained from a pen by using sticky tape and has very few defects. Most elements are metallic (and therefore weaker bound than the covalent bond like carbon does) and growing crystals without defects is incredibly hard (works quite well with silicon for computer chips, but I don't other metals which can do that). Defects can serve to stop the propagating other defects like cracks, but are often also the staring point for cracks.
They should send those disgusting, warmongering terrorists home. They might as well have an Al-Qaeda/Isis embassy there. They have murdered hundreds of times fewer than the US government.

@@jumpinjaxs That's the tungsten carbide problem, regardless of how hard an edge we put on a tool, it will get worn and the harder it is the pron to chips and cracks it is.
This process could be scaled up in a similar fashion to how SLA printers work, but by controlling the thickness of the layer of material in a vat to the same (or similar) thickness of the droplet. Which might still be slow, but could have a much larger area to work with.
2:43 It's about as strong as a material "this porous" can get. So it's a great material when you want light weight (low density) but very strong materials (which is most of the time in construction.) They're not the strongest materials possible when you don't care about density.
According to your diamond can't be crushed by hammer , hardness has nothing to do with toughness or tenacity but it is all about scratching potential without getting scratched . Read about mohs scale , on hardness diamond stands at 10(hardest) it doesn't mean corundum (9, i.e less hard comparatively ) can't break diamond .
I love most of the things this channel uploads, just wish the audio was just slightly higher, regardless fascinating stuff going on over here! Thanks for the content seeker!
Not very good for ships because displacement value, and something like this might not even be good for planes because vibration resistance. The new space X is stainless for a reason.
I would try printing a continuous chain of this material to make threads. It would probably be safer than steel cable if it snapped and hold a lot more weight. It would probably make for some pretty light weight body armor as well. I wonder what it's optical properties would be?

I was confused about the way terms like strength and hardness were used in this video. I thought they might be talking about this new substance being stronger per pound than diamond or they might be talking about this material be more ductile than diamond or they might be talking about this new material being less subject to failure from loads in particular directions like a diamond is.

This makes more sense over melted layers of plastic. This is micro structures designed into the each piece. You simply can’t get a lighter and stronger material setup.
Awesome! So many questions. Is it an isometric material? Is it chemically stable, like diamond? Similarly, is it inflammable? Is it brittle in that if fails without yielding, like ceramic? What would it look like to the naked eye?
There's no way that this is stronger than a solid diamond. However, this is a very cool concept. Scaling up does seem like a challenge. You may never get your Captain America shield.
Imagine if we get to know of such advanced machinery then think how much they would have achieved behind the scenes and if they are given more money then we could get such things for mass production fairly soon.
What about using more lasers in even amounts focusing on different slices of the 3D print at a time? Using 2 lasers as an ‘extruder’ makes sense if you were to keep such a design at that scale. If, however, there more lasers acting as an ‘extruder’ with all the lasers focusing on specific sectors of the printing process, then perhaps printing an industrial amount may be feasible.
The structure at 1:10 appears to be an arrangement of tetrahedra inside a cubic lattice. Now a carbon atom, being tetravalent, can be thought of conceptually as a tetrahedron; and while tetrahedra on their own don't do a good job of filling a three-dimensional space without leaving gaps, they do a very good job if they are conceptually placed inside cubes, and the cubes are arranged in a lattice. So what we see appears to actually mimic the structure of diamond, but with the cubic framing lattice being real rather than just conceptual. Is that right? Is the structure actually based on diamond, but on a slightly larger scale? If so, it would be interesting to know what that scale is. How many carbon atoms does the image at 1:10 represent? TIA.
misconception: at this scale diamonds aren't actually that strong, they're just hard. Hardness is not the same as strength and toughness, in fact diamonds are quite brittle
In terms of strength-to-weight ratio, is this "Carbon Plate-nanolattice" stronger or are "Carbon Shwarzites" stronger? (Strength as in tensile strength)
2:52 “...and we made it...in a lab....with a lazur (laser)” squeals jumping up and down...how cool is that?😂 Well...almost. I wonder if she was a cheerleader in high school!
Some years back when vapor deposition was the rage I go to a depositer of diamond who has coated a polished disc of alumOxide. Slicker than snot wears like a diamond, I hoped. Sit down in a big conf room lots of interested parties. I get the sales pitch. Sample comes out. With a pencil eraser in hand the diamond didn't stand a chance. Jaws dropped. Well off to find another vendor. So much fun. So little time.
Wait... judging from the scale bar, this is more like a micro-structure rather than a nano-structure... The structure should is still quite macroscopic compared to individual atoms. So I wonder what exactly is the atomic arrangement of this material?
Sandwich a layer of that stuff between two double layers of graphene.... a material like that could be strong enough to hold back atmospheric pressure, allowing zeppelin type craft filled with vacuum. Such craft would be have more lift than a similar volume hydrogen lift craft, with much greater safety. These craft could be thought of as a sort of submarine, in that the hull would be rigid, not pressurized, and would hold back atmosphere the way a sub holds back the pressures at depth.
Ok, this would have SOME use in aerospace, especially with planes, but..... once you get into orbit it becomes a lot less useful. Yes, it's very strong and very light. Both of these are seriously important traits. The problem is it's also very porous and it's carbon, essentially a carbon crystal. That means it's not especially dense, which makes it useless as radiation shielding, and you run right up against the fact that carbon, especially in a crystal like this, is not only basically transparent to a whole lot of radiation.... but it's also one hell of a thermal conductor, (one of the best we know of, actually) so..... no insulation whatsoever. On the other hand, it could make support struts a lot lighter, and that's a big deal. It could also be used for high durability heat sinks and a layer of it under external radiation shielding could strengthen the overall structure and help vent waste heat, among other uses..... like protection from micrometeor hits.
*I wonder if, after building the first structure, that somehow adjacent replicas can be grown? If possible, this would enable production of large quantities in whatever form desired.*

misconception: at this scale diamonds aren't actually that strong, they're just hard. Hardness is not the same as strength and toughness, in fact diamonds are quite brittle
That sounds familiar
It can improve cylindrical beam based architectures with a 639 percent increase in strength and a 522 percent increase in rigidity.
In terms of strength-to-weight ratio, is this "Carbon Plate-nanolattice" stronger or are "Carbon Shwarzites" stronger?
(Strength as in tensile strength)
Now this one is worth keeping an eye on !!!!!
I don't know about channel till this recommended video... But one thing i wanna say now "host lady is very good and love her positive energy"
Fantastic and amazing! Thanks for posting!
2:52 “...and we made it...in a lab....with a lazur (laser)” squeals jumping up and down...how cool is that?😂
Well...almost. I wonder if she was a cheerleader in high school!
Some years back when vapor deposition was the rage I go to a depositer of diamond who has coated a polished disc of alumOxide. Slicker than snot wears like a diamond, I hoped. Sit down in a big conf room lots of interested parties. I get the sales pitch. Sample comes out. With a pencil eraser in hand the diamond didn't stand a chance. Jaws dropped. Well off to find another vendor. So much fun. So little time.
Wait... judging from the scale bar, this is more like a micro-structure rather than a nano-structure... The structure should is still quite macroscopic compared to individual atoms. So I wonder what exactly is the atomic arrangement of this material?
Curious how does the material handle vibrations and how likely is it that a micro fracture would make the material weak
The future if we make it will be awe inspiring. Just wow.
The books on the shelf behind her are arranged in a satisfying way lol
Is there any article on Google about it? If there is please let me know.
Sandwich a layer of that stuff between two double layers of graphene.... a material like that could be strong enough to hold back atmospheric pressure, allowing zeppelin type craft filled with vacuum. Such craft would be have more lift than a similar volume hydrogen lift craft, with much greater safety. These craft could be thought of as a sort of submarine, in that the hull would be rigid, not pressurized, and would hold back atmosphere the way a sub holds back the pressures at depth.
Ok, this would have SOME use in aerospace, especially with planes, but..... once you get into orbit it becomes a lot less useful. Yes, it's very strong and very light. Both of these are seriously important traits. The problem is it's also very porous and it's carbon, essentially a carbon crystal. That means it's not especially dense, which makes it useless as radiation shielding, and you run right up against the fact that carbon, especially in a crystal like this, is not only basically transparent to a whole lot of radiation.... but it's also one hell of a thermal conductor, (one of the best we know of, actually) so..... no insulation whatsoever. On the other hand, it could make support struts a lot lighter, and that's a big deal. It could also be used for high durability heat sinks and a layer of it under external radiation shielding could strengthen the overall structure and help vent waste heat, among other uses..... like protection from micrometeor hits.
*I wonder if, after building the first structure, that somehow adjacent replicas can be grown? If possible, this would enable production of large quantities in whatever form desired.*
Maren's details about the topics are really ... Good ... And now we are surrounded by more carbon ...
Maren is my crush, adding more: wow, making carbon nano structure with the help of laser, that's awesome, lasers changed every device.
The background is just great. Btw. nice to hear Maren after a long time :D
I feel like she's trying to not wake someone up. Maybe Nana's napping in the next room?
