  • If they could make dry erase boards with this as a top coat, I wouldn't have to worry about staining over time or damagine the dry erase board with constant cleaning. Just spray water, wipe, et viola no left over ink

    5:52 "super normal surface" is actually an apt name considering the contact angle would be near 90º (normal to the plane)

    A good portion of this video was looking at clear water on a solid white surface being directly illuminated. It was very difficult to see the edge of the water droplets. I think illuninating it more from the side might have helped us to see what was going on better.
  • I kinda want to do this for a "Graffiti Approved Area" where you let folks tag your wall for a while and then every month or so, come through and pressure wash it smooth and clean again. That way folks have a place to do their thing but you can wipe the slate clean when it rains or every month or something. It allows the art to be temporary which somehow makes it more special because you have to see it before it's gone.

    Your Neal DeGrasse Tyson comment was priceless...

    These two come up a lot when studying my biology, seeing a visual representation definitely helps concrete my understanding. And yes, SUCK IT NEIL!!👏

    [2:20] I find this a remarkable demonstration. The letters look like they are lifted off the surface and float in the water intact.
  • @Lotschi
    I love water so much aswell. I can‘t even live without it!

    Suck it, Neil! Also, I learned more than I expected to in this video. Plus, plus geek points.
  • @4RILDIGITAL
    The way you explained and demonstrated hydrophobic vs hydrophilic surfaces was very insightful. Great practical examples too, they helped me visualize the concepts far better.

    One of the few channels where I appreciate the reminder to hit the like button, because I have ADHD and often forget to hit like when I enjoyed what I watched 😅
