10 Strangest Materials In The World
Показать описание
Hi everyone! It’s Miles, Welcome to Talltanic! From metal that explodes at the slightest touch to a harmless but extremely dense gas that items can float in, here are 10 of the strangest materials in the world.

10. ULTRA-HYDROPHOBIC MATERIALS
In recent years, scientists have been working to develop ultra-hydrophobic materials and coatings that repel water. The term “hydrophobic” comes from the Greek words “hydro,” which means “water,” and “phobic,” which means “fear.”
9. SULFUR HEXAFLUORIDE
Sulfur hexafluoride, or SF6, is an extremely potent, inorganic, non-toxic greenhouse gas. It’s colorless, odorless, and non-flammable. SF6 is five times heavier than the air we breathe. It doesn’t escape from its container, and it can even hold up light objects as if they were floating on water.
8. GALLIUM
Gallium is a naturally-occurring mineral of the Boron family that exists in trace amounts in various compounds, such as zinc ores and bauxite. It’s harvested commercially as a byproduct of aluminum and zinc production, and its biggest producers are Australia, Russia, Germany, and France.
7. NITROGEN TRIIODIDE
Nitrogen triiodide is an inorganic compound and an extremely sensitive contact explosive. Even when small quantities of it are touched ever-so-lightly, it reacts by exploding with a sharp snap and releasing a purple cloud of iodine vapor. This material is so sensitive, it can be detonated by alpha radiation.
6. HOT ICE
Sodium acetate, more commonly known as hot ice, turns from a liquid into crystals when the slightest influence is exerted upon it. If you set it next to ice taken from the freezer, it would be difficult to distinguish them apart.
5. HYDROGELS
A hydrogel is a colorless, odorless, non-toxic network of polymer chains that are hydrophilic, or highly absorbent. It comes in natural and synthetic form and can contain over 90% water.
4. AEROGEL
Imagine sitting at the North Pole in front of a small fire, wearing little more than a smile, and surrounded by material that is nearly 99% air, yet feeling as snug as a bug in a rug!
3. CAESIUM
Caesium is one of the most extreme elements on the periodic table and one of the most active metals on the planet. It’s also one of the softest. This mildly radioactive substance has an unusually low melting point of 29 degrees Fahrenheit (-1.7 Celsius). It will liquefy inside a vial just from being held by human hands.
2. GRAPHENE
Graphene is a single layer of pure carbon atoms. Stacked on top of one another, layers of graphene form graphite. At one atom thick, graphene is the thinnest compound known to man. It’s also the lightest, strongest, the best conductor of heat at room temperature, and the best-known conductor of electricity.
1. PLUTONIUM
Plutonium is a radioactive metallic element and is among the most dangerous substances in the world. It was discovered by scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1941 as they researched how to make atomic bombs by splitting atoms.
