+Boeing Ok, I've seen you copy paste this a ton. So the real question that isn't addressed is how durable is it? If it's used publicly, will it be trashed within a day?
i did some research and its a nickel and phosphorous alloy, and as a nanomaterials scientist i dont understand why not graphene? or nanocarbon tubes? we have made mesh out of nanocarbon tubes and its easier to make and would serve the purpose of this metal structure
Why are there so many cuts between the speech? I had to sometime go back to listen to the audial again cause some of the big cuts are just badly connect
Language matters. This is not a metal, nor is it a material. Clever though it is, It is an engineered structure of existing materials. I'm light on trust of an engineer who doesn't know the difference. regardless how clever or innovative the effort. Maybe its the Boeing PR department that needs to go back to English comp 101 and drag out their dusty Funk & Wagnalls.

+Boeing I think you are missing 70navigator's point by just putting in this stock comment (with unnecessary carriage returns as well). You are making the public believe this is a "new" material or metal when it is NOT. It is an innovative example of engineering and design but terminology *is* important.
I was thinking almost the exact same thing. It is kind of like chain armor in the sense that it is light, but still effective. Though I wonder if a layer or two of this could potentially replace Kevlar.
I wonder if the can use it in the chairs? It could make them softer but still hold their structure possibly with the tension or maybe poles guiding it to form the shape of the seat, right? Kind of like a hammock seat but more sturdy, comfortable, and with a cloth cover you won't fall through possibly?
And maybe if you took, for example, a 737 and were able to replace small things like the seats to even the buckles then there would be less weight on that plane? I'm no aerospace engineer, yet, but I'm just curious if that would work or not?
I think aerogel still has the record for the lightest solid. Aerogel is not made of metal and probably not as strong as this so this is very impressive. I wonder if you could create aerogel around this metal and create a super lightweight composite material. Aerogel is amazingly resistant to heat flow which I doubt this metal is
One of the main reasons behind the use of metal is due to carbon having an affinity to become brittle at hight temperatures. However as this material contains phosphorus it could also decompose at very high temps. Phosphorus is a bitch with fire around.
If you put that in a plane it'll change the center of mass and could change it so much that the necessary changes to accommodate for the new center of mass will basically make it look like a whole new aircraft
OMG! This is exactly what I was looking for to replace my hip joint! Do they make hip joins with this stuff? I'm a runner & I need something strong, but light weight 😃
Let's hope this can be developed further into being used in body armor. Our soldiers can run faster, farther, and can still have the protection of the heavier body armor of today.
Awesome, and really cool, I like this kind of stuff. Amazing how we advanced in the technology industry in the 21st century. Imagine what there will be to come in the unforeseen future? Nice stuff, look at how the Boeing 787 Dreamliner is built with lighter more stronger metals, conserving 20% less fuel consumption, that's millions of dollars in fuel savings yearly for airlines.
Is it possible to make a super light, yet rigid material this way? I noticed that it had the consistency of a sponge. Maybe a version for use it the frame of an aircraft?
This is still metal... but super, super, super light... this could help with lightning strikes if made with aluminum, but still be more lightweight. Wow.
Alpha Giraffe that's why they would put it under the cushions. Notice how they were squezeing it and moving it? Allowing that against you body under the already cushioned seats gives more of a get comfortable feel for the chair, especially for long flights.
If you say it takes three feet of bubble wrap an egg you really should know how much of the metal you would need to protect the egg. Because three feet of bubble wrap is maybe a dollar how much is the unknown quantity of metal?
+Niño Rata No. In something like a huge airliner or spaceship things like strength and light weight are much more valuable than cost. Saving weight and space can allow new things to be done or simply save more money over time than the initial material cost was.
+Niño Rata +Dave Preston Yes but not always in the "how much of the cheapest stuff do we need". For example, in boeings case it'd be "how much money will we save in five years if we use the more expensive but much lighter material." And in this case, the egg drop example was to simply demonstrate what is possible with the material, not the cost side of it at all.
+Dave Preston Consider that it might be a Faberge egg drop hosted by the one percenters....then the expense is justifiable and there premise is therefor plausible....
When it is so flexible, you won't be able to use it as a primary chassis for the aeroplane, right? Because in turbulence, this would probably bend to a very high extent. So, if you have to use another, heavier chassis in the first place, what is the use of this? Please, correct me if I'm wrong. Frankly, I see this under the cushion of my bed in 15 years.
+Tanmay Chhatbar You could use it as part of a honeycomb sandwich structure. Microlattice core bonded to aluminum or carbon fiber. Think about a piece of cardboard. If you look at a cross-section, it's just three (or five) pieces of paper cleverly glued together, but it's a lot stronger than it would be just stacking the paper.
Tanmay Chhatbar It would be heavier than the microlattice by itself, but it would be lighter than a piece of aluminum of the same thickness, so there would still be a gain.

Make a silicon latice that can generate a certain hertz that speeds up plant growth. You could incorporate it into an automated green house to speed up production.
They didn't say they would make airplanes out of it, they said the interior cabin can benefit from multiple uses if they were to implement it somewhere. Beside the plane can't be made of that, you need the cabin to be pressurized. Also any commercial airline made of that would still be as heavy as a small plane.

What kind of metal is it to make it the lightest or is it light because of the structure and not the metal?
The metal is a nickel-phosphorus alloy that is
coated onto an open polymer structure. The polymer is then removed, leaving a
structure that consists of 100nm thick walls of the nickel-phosphorus, thus
creating the lightest metallic structure
+Boeing yeah, "metallic structure", STRUCTURE. Thanks.
+Boeing So you just admitted your title is misleading..It is NOT the lightest metal, rather the lightest metal structure.
+Boeing is it REALLY 99.99% air? I don't believe that. Also, you should try making it out of nanocarbon tubes.
+cookiezillaevan doesn't that greatly disprove flexibility?
This metal would be an excellent idea for shoes
You're right!!!

This could be rebuilt into body armor... stronger metal and a tighter lattice pattern could make an effective chainmail of sorts.
those look like wired sponges for dishes
halo armor maybe??? lol sorry....
Or power armor, that would be great
I was thinking almost the exact same thing. It is kind of like chain armor in the sense that it is light, but still effective. Though I wonder if a layer or two of this could potentially replace Kevlar.
it would be interesting to see if it holds up against that much concentrated force.
99.9 percent air but it's lighter than air?
If it were lighter than air it would float. Microlattice is just the lightest material we've created.
Good point, put some healing in the hallow places and enjoy some floating metal lol
20 years later"ANOTHER MICROLATTICE AIR PLANE HAS FALLEN!"
it's gonna be a bit windy out tonight, not too windy tho- OH GOODNESS NOT ANOTHER ONE
It's not going to be all microlattice, it's going to be metal lining on the outside with microlattice inside.
+Dragon Trainer Asif yes sooo true
So true LoooooL
So basically its a bag of chips o_o
and then here comes tumblr
A metal that is 99.99 percent air that can go on top of a dandelion and won't fall but is still strong...WTF
IKR
Science fish
It's not strong, it absorbs a lot of energy
well I'm guessing to were it has a strong structure it stays together but still light weight and I could go on and in about this but I wont
How much would it cost? I'm guessing at least $100..But I'm not sure. Could this also be a replacement to Bubble wrap?
+Boeing
Should be put on world trade centers
But can jet fuel melt it?! Lol
no

I wonder if the can use it in the chairs? It could make them softer but still hold their structure possibly with the tension or maybe poles guiding it to form the shape of the seat, right?

And maybe if you took, for example, a 737 and were able to replace small things like the seats to even the buckles then there would be less weight on that plane? I'm no aerospace engineer, yet, but I'm just curious if that would work or not?
+Mikayla Strange one buckle would cost more than a car...
ludwx
very good thought. yes should implemented for all such applications.
+Mikayla Strange I would presume so..
Whether its a metal or not, I feel that this could be used for many good things. I hope for the best.
Saw this I'm my recommended box for days. Finally watched it.

One of the main reasons behind the use of metal is due to carbon having an affinity to become brittle at hight temperatures. However as this material contains phosphorus it could also decompose at very high temps. Phosphorus is a bitch with fire around.
it's 99.99% air (insulator obv) so even tho it's metal (conductor obv) it probably still is
"Lightest. Metal. Ever"? I guess that's still Lithium and the periodic table tells me that it's pretty improbable that will change. Ever.

If you put that in a plane it'll change the center of mass and could change it so much that the necessary changes to accommodate for the new center of mass will basically make it look like a whole new aircraft
Sorry if that didn't make a whole lot of sense, I'm just using the knowledge I have from video games

THERE RUclips. I WATCHED YOUR STUPID AD.
I know right.
does this cost a lot? where can someone buy it?
It's about time you found out the algorithm to make this material. And the actual elements and alloys to make it.
two questions,1 does it come in black? and 2 can it protect you from bullets?
Awesome, and really cool, I like this kind of stuff. Amazing how we advanced in the technology industry in the 21st century. Imagine what there will be to come in the unforeseen future? Nice stuff, look at how the Boeing 787 Dreamliner is built with lighter more stronger metals, conserving 20% less fuel consumption, that's millions of dollars in fuel savings yearly for airlines.
will this new light metal still be able to go through steel??
Every video I watch... this is the ad that pops up
Time for boeing metal cars baby!
neat, but why is this an ad?
so people who make planes buy the metal that cost about 99% more than a original air plane.
