    Once the properties are mastered for mass production, it could be used make tools that last longer. It would be especially useful for tools with edges like an axe or a knife, just as we use tungsten carbide and diamond to make sharp edges stay sharp longer. Graphene might make a shaver stay sharp indefinitely.

  • @blackbomber72
    @blackbomber72 7 років тому +1

    Due to extensive research done by the University of Pittsburgh, diamond has been confirmed as the hardest metal known to man. The research is as follows:
    Pocket-protected scientists built a wall made of iron and crashed a diamond car into it at 400 miles per hour, and the car was unharmed. They then built a wall out of diamond and crashed a car made of iron moving at 400 miles an hour into the wall, and the wall came out fine. They then crashed a diamond car made of 400 miles per hour into a wall, and there were no survivors. They crashed 400 miles per hour into a diamond travelling at iron car. Western New York was powerless for hours. They rammed a wall made of metal into 400 miles an hour made of diamond, and the resulting explosion shifted earths orbit 400 million miles away from the sun, saving the earth from a meteor the size of a small Washington suburb that was hurtling towards mid-western Prussia at 400 billion miles an hour. They shot a diamond made of iron at a car moving at 400 walls per hour, and as a result caused over 10000 wayward planes to lose track of their bearings, and make a fatal crash with over 10000 buildings in downtown New York. They spun 400 miles at diamond into iron per wall. The results were inconclusive. Finally, they placed 400 diamonds per hour in front of a car made of wall travelling at miles per iron, and the result proved with out a doubt that diamonds were the hardest metal of all time, if not just the hardest metal known to man.

    There are at least two rather obvious errors in the narration of this video: 1. "iconic bonds" should be "ionic bonds". 2. The organs from which spiders produce silk are called "spinnerets", not "spiracles". Spiracles are part of some spiders breathing system.

      Greg Foot To err is human. Neither one is a big error, but they do jump out at a person who knows the subject. Two ways to deal with it. 1. Reshoot and re-edit. 2. Put a permanent comment at the top of the list (I think UA-cam lets you do that.), correcting the errors.

    In short the best material is steel if you want something strong and able to make a lot steel the next material is metallic glass which is 2 times stronger then steel and lighter or as light but it melts easer it’s not like it’s gonna melt on a hot day or something or under a few seconds under a blow torch and the other down side is that it’s hard to make but that shouldn’t be a problem if you want to know the strongest material theoretically is graphyne witch is 7600 times stronger then steel and yes I said 7600 if you want to the strongest that been made now carbyne witch is 2700 times stronger then steel and 2 times harder then any material on earth or know to man but all in all the next material that will make skyscrapers is probably metallic glass or 3d graphene but most likely metallic glass and then when graphene gets better it will take over
