This continues to blow my mind.

Use neon instead of argon (both noble gases) and buy a 600W microwave for $170. (I know it's not that simple, but in many ways it *is* that simple, which is why it's fucking insane Look up graphene batteries if you're not familiar with them already) Space elevators; potential for room-temp superconductors; shells for fusion reactors; building materials that don't degrade, survive earthquakes with ease, have strong temp control features. Airplanes that are lighter and more durable. And it's created cheaply by *upcycling* one of the *worst pollutants in the world* and produces minor CO2 as a byproduct which can be mitigated, and is widely considered the holy grail of materials science. Changes everything (if true lol) |
@johnzajac That's really cool! (Although, you can hardly do it at home.)
