@cleoabram: This metal won't sink. Scientists at the University of Rochester just designed a “superhydrophobic” metal. That means even when forced underwater or damaged the little metal test tubes wouldn’t sink! Researchers have created metal that repels water before, but none that could be scaled up. This version uses a slightly different, scalable method bringing us one step closer to unsinkable ships! Follow along to find out how.

stephen stary :

since we advance our technology by mimicking plants and animals, does that mean that our tech will be ineffective when we move to other planets

javadmmad :

me thinking that I understand

SistaFista :

you're just making the boat hydrophobic but it can still sink

PFP :

👦This is bob 👕everytime you like 👖he ages up how old is bob now

Ch!ye Guta :

Underwater spider?

👾ZombieGalaxy🪐 :

Science saves

bajjiiee⸆⸉ :

that spider is a pokemon

🥊 :

gravity should be paid

MYTTI :

water would still have to stay still for this to work no?

RME :

The problem is you cant protect the metal from the sea water Even if you would build this "unsinkable" ship it gets destroyed By corrosion within weeks Max in months

Christopher :

Barnacles exist and the gaps would fill in pretty quickly making it useless.

♡°tay♡° :

dont say that, the last "unsinkable" ship ended .......

Royse :

corrosion maintenence will just destroy those carvings. even with paint, carving on ships hulls will consume more fuel because it slows down ships speed

cow. :

fun fact ! the spider is called diving bell spider , spider can do that cause of the hydrophobic hair on their abdomen . and even more thing they can do that any time cause if they run out of air they'll just redo that , or to refill the air in their hiuse which is a bubble and they live in water

matthis :

but how does this generate profit for the shareholders?

rajkart.44 :

“Unsinkable absolutely unsinkable”

an ordinary nobody :

This is why research and science are important.

Ntenizz :

SamsIsaac :

“Unsinkable ship” now where have I heard that before 🤔

aditya aditya :

Pov:science never stops for progress...

ْ :

Therefore, we can only study nature and animals to evolve and overcome nature.

Bradley Perrie-Hawkings :

Just use lithium, it's the lightest metal. Wait don't.

name :

idk we had another unsinkable ship and it didn't go well

Rio :

yeah sure "unsinkable"
