+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?
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
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 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 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.
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.
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 😃
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
Do you think this could be replicated by the hobbyist that might 3D print a similar lattice in HIPS, use vacuum thermal deposition to coat the print in a given metal, and then use D-Lemonene to dissolve the HIPS?
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.
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 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.
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?
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....
I'm confused as to why this ad was recommended to me. Very cool tech, but I'm definitely not the target demographic. The only thing I contribute to this planet is diarrhea.
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.
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.
what i want to know is can this be used for more than just the skin of the plane or is it unable to handle the loads of something structural like say the engines or landing gear because if it could handle those kinds of things i have a few ideas of other uses for it
While it is lightweight, which is good for flight, and can hold up under pressure, how does it hold up to corrosion, or to heat? I would also like to know what the chemical makeup of it is, along with is it available to the common consumer and what temperature it melts at.
Glenn Van H., its not as bad as it seems, because Boeing is a ~50% owner of HRL so they would've had a hand in funding this work. Just as a Caltech alum and admirer of HRL's work I wish it had been mentioned :). Bill Carter, very nice, it's great work!
Thanks for the kind words Alex Krause! Most major media outlets did get the history right. This was supposed to be about Boeing use of the invention. A bit of PR confusion and here we are.
Probably not, when you melt a metal the heat typically changes the molecular make-up of that substance, so very likely it would not do so. It would have to be tampered with again on the molecular level most likely.
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.

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
does this cost a lot? where can someone buy it?
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.
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.
it's 99.99% air (insulator obv) so even tho it's metal (conductor obv) it probably still is

Silver the Hedgehog Another potentially good usage.
+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.
***** That could be done. But again, that would increase the density of the material. So, the main attraction of the structure would be lost.
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.
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.

Could this possibly be used in body armor after some modifications, or is it no where near strong enough to stop bullets?
Or fighter jet hull.
I am actually curious about this
if I were to smelt this to use it for something (so it doesn't have spaces in it) will it still be light?
No. Without the hollowness the metal would be heavier. I guess it depends on how much of the metal you melted.
Well, No, because it is lightweight due to the fact that it is mostly air
No, the light weight comes from the lack of material in it. It is built to maximize strength and minimize metal usage.
🤔
Probably not, when you melt a metal the heat typically changes the molecular make-up of that substance, so very likely it would not do so. It would have to be tampered with again on the molecular level most likely.
"Lightest. Metal. Ever"? I guess that's still Lithium and the periodic table tells me that it's pretty improbable that will change. Ever.

Is it strong or just light and weak
It's strong, yet light.
if its so light, wouldn't the jet blow away if there were high winds?
If the people on the plane are from the south, it does not matter what the weight of the metal is
I don't get it...

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.
No it wouldn't blow away. The plane still has a massive amount of weight, just becomes slightly lighter due to the use of the light metal

+Jacob Devine But it's not metal. Super misleading title though, they might as well make a big hollow sphere out of tinfoil, and say it's 99.999% air.
It reminds me of a sponge
Idk why I came to see this.

Boeing is my favorite post-metal band.
Heavy metal is dead.
Long live heavy metal.
Just seeing the metal is satisfying
five bucks says the military takes this idea to make really light and accurate guns
I was thinking more on the armor side of things

JET FUEL CANT MELT STEEL BEAMS!!! YEAAAAAAAAAH
Jet beams can't melt steal fuel.

time to sell this to delta..........
who is delta?
Delta is just an airline. They use many of Boeing aircraft so there wouldn't be much of a point.
what's the type of the materials for the use of the making
You could also use this to generate an infrasound cusion rather then a magnetic levitation effect that would have many different applications.
If it's 99.99% air, how is it metal?
Well it's 1% metal..... So it's metal XDD
beacuse 00.01 percent is metal
Yeah but it kinda defeats the purpose of it being metal by 1 percent
Cause it's metal tubes that are 100 nanometers thick... 1 nanometer is 1 billionth of a meter, so the insides of it is just air.
+Jarred Seidelman that's .01% please pay attention... this isn't metal at all lmao
This should be a phone case. Comment if you agree
Yas
why
Adi Bejleri because it's super hard to break and very light weight
But why would you need a superhard e metal as a case you wouldn't need it
Probably might be a bit bulky
if they stuck this under the cushions in the airplane seats... oh my god that would be so comfortable
would you even be able to feel it?
the way they were squishing it in the video though. imagine that squish under your cushions
ikr
+Ken Fuller It's metal.
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.
could this be used for making a space elevator?
what if you stack a lot together and compressed in could it be used as bullet proof armor
