"My favorite thing about it is that it reacts with water and turns back into silica, and it can do this in both your lungs and your eyes. The best part too, is that the particles form in the eyes under the surface, and they're way too small to remove so it can lead to permanent blindness." Oh yeah, that's what I love about it too

Just watched the Veritasium video on aerogel. He went to the Aerogel Technologies in Boston and when they showed the super critical drying process I noticed something that would have made your process much smoother. It appears they poured the gel into small molds and did not remove the gel from the mold until AFTER the super critical drying process was complete, doing so gave the smooth perfect appearance you were looking for.

Amazing. I never did chemistry properly. All I ever learned was from boring books in school. Never did adequate tests or anything. This channel may be the first time I really get the feel of what chemistry is really. I would describe it as cooking but much more dangerous, precise, but much more rewarding.

The yellow discoloration in the hexagonal specimen could have been from the thicker teflon tape that was dyed orange. The dye could have diffused in to the CO2 solvent during the supercritical operation at some point during the heat up in the water bath (which caused the momentary change in color of the solvent that you observed in the mobile footage at 36:56) and then subsequently got "mopped up" like a sponge by the aerogel, which in turn caused the solvent to clear up. You can observe some evidence of discoloration of the Teflon tape at 33:36. I am no expert, just my two cents on the matter.

My favorite part was the most random, when using tongs to pull out the aerogel on the hex shape, you clicked the tongs a few time - just like a dad about to grill something. Proving it is impossible to use tongs at all, in any way, without clicking them.

@oceanbreeze6455 2 года назад

Yep, I'm starting chem in college and I checked out the lab last week, the teacher had us look in our individual drawers to make sure everything was there and I immediately saw beaker tongs, took them out and clicked them (We're supposed to take everything out of the drawers to make sure we have everything we need for the labs in the future)

The minimum focus distance of a lens is a given spec. With that distance in mind you measure the distance from the plane of the sensor which is marked with a circle with a line through it on the camera body. That line is the sensor plane.
