    Material science really doesn't get the public recognition it deserves, although the pay is quite outstanding.
    As long as engineers are giving their best, material is and will most of the time be the limiting factor to our technologies.

    The smelling or "sensing" when something needs maintenance reminds me of my college professor who "listened" to concrete structures. Small microphones can detect microcracking in concrete structures and can improve the lifecycle of such structural systems as we hear more cracking during the load cycles. If we hear lots of cracks the system may need more maintenance to remain in service.

    You know what would be an interesting topic, what about recyclable advanced materials? I mean think about it if you plan a mission to another star system that's going to take possibly thousands of years to complete recycling is going to be really important possibly more important than the unique properties these advanced materials can offer. If you put thousands of people into a giant tin can and send them sailing off on a mission that's going to take thousands of years then it's really important to take into account the fact that if they can't reuse these materials they may wind up functionaly running out of resources.

    • @boobah5643

      Recycling tends to be an industrial process, and that means space, energy, and all that jazz. You build for endurance over performance, you build modular, you build redundant, and you build hot-swappable. You bring the spares you can, and you build so that failure isn't catastrophic so that when something _does_ go wrong (and it will) Earth can figure out how to keep the next ship from failing in the same way.

      @Boo Bah Current US and most navy’s ships have industrial facilities on them - provided you don’t keep poking holes in them, and they have access to those facilities, they can rebuild anything except for the super highly technical bits like computers or radar or whatnot. Including this on spaceships manufactured in space (where a little bit more mass added isn’t so cost prohibitive as on earth) and it’s perfectly reasonable to expect it of slower colonial or seed ships.

    Most of these are ecological hazards, funny enough. Many existing materials, say carbon nanotubes, won't break down and will cause various environmental issues. At least for plastics we know that near-term bacteria can chow down on it for net energy gain. Diamond-strength stuff not so much. At least outdoors this means we have teflon in our water, and might get lots of nanotubes in our lungs. Before we go city-scale industry with a new material, at least for exteriors, it should become standard to tune our purification and environmental cleanup systems. The way new materials will be cleaned up, at least in areas near explosions and warzones, is akin to clearing depleted uranium. Or normal uranium with future mining tech.

    • @brookefoxie9610

    • @Curry-tan-
      @Curry-tan- 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @Robert Reynolds As usual that runs into Tragedy of The Commons until problems are profitable to deal with, which also disincentivizes cleaning up unprofitable areas. 2kg of depleted uranium spread across 1/2 km^2 of a town isn't in itself very lucrative even before terrain is considered. The margins also award scale which is anti-competitive, similar to the endgame trajectory of CO2-extraction farms. So maybe you're right under some contexts but in general I disagree. Well the overall mover on these incentives is the large-scale economic power-balance so who knows.

If we can reduce the fertility rate in places like Africa to 2.0 or lower, the continent will see rapid gains in efficiency and GDP per person - that and fixing the damage already done in the oceans will go a long way to fixing our problems.

In 35 years, we went from piston-driving airplanes to landing on the moon. In less than one year, we went from an uncontrolled, world-wide pandemic to having multiple vaccines available world-wide. The pace of technological change is not slowing down, but rather, it is accelerating at a phenomenal pace. All of these exotic, theoretical materials are on the horizon, or already in the laboratory, or filed somewhere in the patent office. They are not many generations away.

    One of the many nice applications for high temperature superconductors is low loss transmission of work. So for example in a conventional bike you pedal and the motion is transmitted to the wheel by a chain and sprocket. With a high temperature superconductors you can make very small ultrahigh efficiency motors, since you can make much stronger and more compact magnetic fields. So in the case of a bike you'd have two superconducting motors linked with a superconducting wire and the work input into one would instantaneously be transferred to the other. Kind of silly to use such sophistication on a bike, but the point is that you can suddenly substitute any mechanical transmission with superconducting wires, over any length. To humans from the future mechanical transmissions will seem like the silliest thing ever.

    Great episode. I like the thought of 'shielding' gravity rather than actual "anti-grav." When you mentioned it in another episode ('technologies that probably won't exist' or some such), it got me thinking about using it in a DnD-ish based story. i.e. finding some fancy tree on the 'elemental plane of air' that has a natural ('non-magical') 10th thickness for gravity.
    Notably, how something like that would might work for building a skyscraper, hauling freight, and such; i.e. a low-quality apartment giving residents vertigo when they walk past certain spots, or 'center of gravity'-related accidents when unloading a low-grav lined truck. Or partially replacing elevators with Metroid-style vertical low-grav corridors (i.e. jumping from floor to floor), all manor of flying drones, a massive ship or island that experiences lunar gravity greater than (or similar to) earth gravity, so on. Dunno, its just cool to think about.

    With regards to making materials with lasers, I've long considered the possibility of using holograms to bulk-pattern materials. Imagine something looking not all that different from your typical "holographic" foil sticker used to produce the laser peaks and troughs on a substrate, every tenth micron or so, to encourage a chemical vapor to settle in just those spots, being ejected from other spots, and bind with the substrate and other materials already present. Swap the hologram for another hologram, and introduce the next gas to bind every tenth micron or so. Basically, using holograms as a sort of stencil for laying down materials, quickly, but with nano-tech precision.
    Of course, to achieve this, you probably need holograms that involve EM down in the longer wavelength X-Ray range.

    5:10 hmm given how strove it is in compression you reackon you could make an open foam aerogel panel then vacuum pack it in a layer of plastic and then suck all the air out leaving a vacuum with the aero gel to keep it from imploding ?

    I think developments in photonic circuitry is worth looking into, with it being a potential low energy low temperature high speed electronic alternative which theoretical has the potential for near to higher then room temperature quantum computation.

    I wonder about how many of these future materials will decay, like on some level we don't care, but I wonder how these materials will interact with nature, through pollution and then more importantly, how our body would handle these materials when they get exposed to them, like internally through dust of this meta material.

    Note: The process node size, e.g. 2nm, does not refer to the size of a whole transistor. It has historically referred to the "feature size", essentially the resolution of the lithography. A transistor needs more than one pixel to lay out!
    But of late, the numbers don't correspond to any real size. They just use a smaller number for each generation.

    14:46 for some reason this reminds me of an old sf short tale about a robot that makes a machine that can create anything that starts with the latter N. When his friend asks the machine to make Nitrogen the machine said it can't. I just can't put my finger on why this image reminds me of that tale.

    I've made an RPG environment where I needed to study and research a lot of material science discoveries to create "futuristic items" and there are even more mind-blowing technologies, some already being used like PEEK, Diamond-avil cells, Germanium quantum discs and Molybdenium based solar cells. When I get back to it I'll comment here so you can have more contents for videos.

    I think materials science is going to relate to so many topics covered here. I was thinking about consciousness - if it comes is found to come in the form of light - then we can make synthetic brains easily! I want materials science to be the next renaissance in science!

    Tantalum hafnium carbide is a ceramic, not a metal alloy.
    It uses transitional metals but the compound is ionic with the carbon.

    Am I misunderstanding space elevators? The center of mass is at geostationary orbit, right? Out at 36,000 km. The diameter of the earth is only 13,000 km. So in illustrations, their height should be nearly three times the size of the earth, right?
