    It's pretty awesome to see my most of the things I learned in college with my major (Materials Science and Engineering) explained briefly in about 8.5 minutes. A lot of high school kids don't know that you can major in Materials Science Engineering and do cool things like this, so thanks SciShow for spreading the word! :)

    You guys definitely need to find at least some pictures for the stuff you're talking about. Because "transparent hyper-aluminium" just doesn't cut it without an image.

      Wow. Dr Tsou could work in publicity the day aerogel becomes commercialy avaiable for mass use, that's some pretty convincing line there! Only, if the warmth of a candle becomes too much, body heath would probably become a problem long before there is need for candle-heating...

    Diamonds are frequently used in these applications (as an abrasive coating) due to their hardness not their toughness. These are two different (but related) physical properties. Hardness is the ability of a material to resist surface deformation from an external object. Toughness is the ability of a material to resist self-separation due to an external force (like kinetic shock).
    Diamonds while very hard are not very tough. You can scratch mar the surface of a steel spoon with a diamond by scratching it. But you can shatter I diamond with that same spoon by hitting it. With minerals hardness and toughness tend to be like the two ends of a sliding scale. Usually the tougher a mineral is, the less hard it is and vice versa.

    If the government invested more money into scientific research, we would be able to quickly find new and innovative ways to produce these super materials and jump start a whole new industrial revolution that would improve everyone's lives. Unfortunately, United States spends only 3% of its federal discretionary budget (less than 1% of total budget) on science. Republicans love talking about how a successful businessman should be in charge of the country (it's all they talked about in the 2012 election), so how about listening to the most successful businessman in the world, Bill Gates, who says the federal government should invest more money in science if it wants to improve the economy.

      The fact that one project was a shame doesn't mean that the entire concept is a waste. In most urban areas, travel space is the second highest percentage of space taken up (after homes). It's a good idea, if we can find the right materials.
