The most common substance in the world is literally IN the world. It's a mineral called bridgmanite, and it belongs to a class of minerals (called perovskites) that scientists are trying to use in the next generation of solar panels.

We are trying to transition to high power lasers for drilling operations, which funnily enough reduces cost and time by not having to replace drills every so often.
I actually made lab-grown lead perovskite for solar panel research back in 2014-16!! Love seeing this :)
Neat! How do you do that? :o
This sparked all sorts of further questions haha. I'll see yall when I crawl back out of this rabbit hole I'm headed into 😂
Great! Hope you had a blast! (Not a lab explosion like having a good time)
@@JeffryBozes I don't remember the exact compounds I used for synthesizing the perovskites but I remember that at least one of them needed to be bought for me by adults due to government restrictions, but for more information, I worked on dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) and was testing no perovskites added vs lead-based perovskites added vs non-lead-based perovskites being added. The stuff discussed in this video is (unsurprisingly) pretty accurate, as one of the main issues with my research findings was applicability since the stability of the perovskite-based solar cells deteriorated quickly. It also didn't help that I was a high schooler manually layering the solutions and such lol, as opposed to the professional researchers and industry pros who have far better equipment.
Both Scishow and Kurzgesagt uploading about the deep Earth - on the same day - is pretty awesome
With 3 hr difference
Are they coordinating?
ah yes, the 2 kinds of chemistry
1. inventing useful chemicals
2. figuring out how to make said useful chemicals without lead
/joke
Don't worry sometimes it'll have mercury or cadmium instead
Material scientist here. Another cool application of perovskites is Barium Titanate (BaTiO3). The titanium ion is slightly too small for the box it sits in, so when it's in an electric field, it displaces from the centre and the material electrically polarises. This is what allows our capacitors to store so much charge and has meant they can be seriously miniaturised. Any electronic you own wouldn't be that compact without perovskites.
Mineralogists are also weird for having name a mineral “cummingtonite” without thinking “hey this might be a problematic name”
As it is named after a person called Cumminton, and scientists do not have their head in the gutter, it is a perfectly fine name.
They knew what they were doing
all one of them had to do was ask their kid though... "could this name be problematic when teaching in schools?" Something that might be helpful to keep in mind.
Not at all neccesary though, I get your point 100%. But some folks have to teach this stuff to kids. And kids be kids.
@@hulkthedane7542 it’s technically named after the town of Cummington, Massachusetts, where the rock was discovered
@@goosenotmaverick1156 i doubt there's going to be a reason to teach about it in schools. College level geology courses though maybe. But if kids are still anything like kids when I was a kid they'll find out about it from the net, google it, and then tell the whole school so everyone else csn have a giggle
Hi Hank!
I guessed ringwoodite at first. But I think that's just the mineral that contains water at the deepest point we've ever measured, and suggests there's at least as much water in the mantle as there is in the oceans.
Taking the phrase "the most common substance IN the world" very literally lol
So there are different types of perovskites? Please do a video on pros and cons of different perovskites!!!
I saw you guys in concert years ago in San Francisco, and I bought a spray painted shirt with a skull on it that your guys’ lady friend made? And it remains one of the best memories to this day. Thanks for a great show!
I would love a layman-comprehensible explanation for why the MgSiO3 mineral in this episode isn't Magnesium Silicate.
The title was correct.
I graduated in 2016....the periodic tables all listed it as unknownium one hundred and whatever. It's weird that science has progressed so far, that almost a dozen elements have been added to the PT since then. And weird.
Crystallography is way more intense then certain crystal enthusiasts make it seem
This subject activates a special part of my brain. I love perovskites
Curly Hank looks awesome ❤
so you literally go 666 kilometers down directly to LITERAL HELL for a near unlimited source of energy? Nice try UAC
Very nice and informative
Im half asleep and i was thinking “why dont they call it ‘corium” and then I remembered.. oh right. Chernobyl… oops
Huh, super neat. Thanks for the video, Hank!
I have a peroskite tattooed on my lower back.😂
This 24fps is crazy
The first perovskite was a cation?!
If the earth was smooth, how deep would the ocean be?
Interesting!
Interesting fact: perovskite is named after a Russian nobleman / mineralogist. Russians don't get enough credit for their role in advancing science.
Yeah, we tend to focus on the abject horrors that came out of Russia back in the day in western media, and I wish we wouldn't.
@@Avendesoraback in the day? What about today?
@@AvendesoraWhen they stop being douchebags, we will stop pointing it out.
@@AvendesoraDamn right!
@@Borsuk3344 I think you missed the first six words or so of my comment. Sci-show doesn't put an emphasis on covering current-day experiments or highlighting good things coming out of russia explicitly (which is NOT me saying that they don't talk about it, just that it's not a headliner). Things like Soviet-era experimentation, on the other hand, are pretty front and center when they're part of a video.
Never say never.
Pretty sure it can be done even with today's technology, it just isn't cost effective, and probably not worth the effort because there is a fairly good chance that doing so would create a (temporary, hopefully) volcano.
Saying "our planet is not flat. It goes down" isn't gonna convince a flat-earther. Also, I doubt they watch Science videos. I'm not a flat earther.
If you pause the video at the absolute start, Hank looks like he is getting his first kiss, lol.
Lol @ geology.
And then they wonder why scientists laugh about geologists.
This wasn’t a set up for a “yo momma joke”?
I only watch sic-show episodes if Hank is doing the show.
Missed the opportunity, should’ve named it un-obtain-ium.
Both you and Kurzgesagt publishing subterranean videos on the same day
ruclips.net/video/VD6xJq8NguY/видео.htmlsi=Rl_ErSO1CPZcSbHA
Our planet isn’t flat??? You can’t just throw a claim like that out there without proof :)
l think you should let someone TIE up your hands in the back, before you start your video. your hand-dancing all over the place is VERY ANNOYING
Silicium? Darn, I got it wrong. 😑
This is the most common substance on the planet Earth but the most common substance in the world is Hydrogen.
That's an element my guy, not a substance. Nice try though 👍
@ethanshepherd2267 It'd be the most common substance in the universe though. elemental hydrogen
@@ethanshepherd2267 it’s a substance too. The element Hydrogen even makes more than one substance: molecular hydrogen, atomic hydrogen, ionized hydrogen etc.
Older rocks deeper then younger rocks. But rocks are being recycled
Do you exist just to spread misinformation? That isn't how geology works. The rock cycle means we often find older rocks on the surface than anything deeper down. Australia and Canada have some of the oldest rocks in the world, while rocks deep down could be old but more often than not are melted/altered by heat and pressure.
Not everywhere. Venus has what you are talking about. We recycle rocks a lot less than Venus.
Hydrogen most common element
Hydrogen isn't a mineral though
Hydrogen is most common in the universe. Oxygen being the most common element in the most common mineral, combined with it being a wee bit more massive (though not as common in water, by half), plus free hydrogen can just float away into space, made me wonder if our breathey-O-boi is most common element on/in earth. Only if I bothered to do even the most cursory of searches on the internet machine...
What is the point here, we are talking geology which hydrogen has little to no relevance in most situations related to geology.
Iron. Iron would've been the most common element in Earth as a planet.
Missed the opportunity, should’ve named it un-obtain-ium.
So disappointed it wasn't called "unobtainium"...
Everything is unobtainable at least once. Not a very helpful name.
@@guyman1570 That was what the military was after in the Avatar movie. But agreed - stupid name.
use bismuth instead of lead
In 2023, AI discovered 2.2 million new materials. What happened to that research? Any breakthrough findings?

2nd to comment.
Why are you crying for the attention mommy didn't give you because she doesn't love you
My FREE ENERGY design will reduce fuel prices
if you had discovered magic, like you claim, "fuel prices" wouldn't even exist anymore. But you have not discovered magic
