  • Today's video shows you how to produce your own graphene which should only be done very carefully and with previous experience. The end of the video tests the surprising results of the composite.

    I really love the “walking into another room” way of transitioning from one experiment to the other! Please keep filming and editing like this!!!!

    It's insane how he makes these huge takes without a single mistake and without any unnecessary words at all.

    Being a genius is one thing. Being a genius that can effectively communicate like this is another.

    "I don't care if I made marzipan" man... the deadpan on that sent me rolling.

    This guy is just everything that CZcams content should be. There's no clickbait and he's really fun to watch. I didn't know anything about Graphene until I watched this video and I didn't care about Graphene either but this dude makes such high quality content that now I think Graphene is really cool. My science teachers never actually got us doing these type of things, most likely because my school was full of inbreds that could not be trusted not to shove people's heads in desk clamps. The only thing we ever got to do was write about what probably happens... Science isn't based on studies, science is based on experiments. This guy does something good, that is hopefully teaches kids not to be dumb fucks in science that ruin education.

    The translation of academic literature to practical implementations, with a perspective of real world applications is fantastic. Not to mention how entertaining and educational this is. Truly a gem of a channel!

    Few years back I mentioned your channel inspired me to re-enter college to further scientific studies as an adult. It was scary at first due to the amount of self-doubt from being away from the education system for decades. I'm a sophomore now and getting mostly A's. I love every minute of being in class in learning and challenging myself. I just want you to know the profound impact you play in a stranger's life. Thank you! 🙏

  • @Dartheomus

    As a chemist and materials scientist, I am floored by what I just saw. Fantastic work, and damn what a result! I honestly haven't payed much attention to graphene because it just hasn't been commercially viable. However, your experiment got my wheels turning, and yeah, a semi continuous process doesn't seem very far out of reach. Thanks for the inspiration!

  • @ErikPelyukhno

    I’m so happy that you’re finding success on CZcams. You’re doing such a big service to humanity by making these informative and entertaining videos. Props to your video team for making these videos look and sound good too!

    Man, I wish you were my neighbor. I would volunteer all my time just to learn from you!! You rock!

    This man is the perfect science educator, he deserves the top place on youtube. I am telling every student I meet to watch his videos and subscribe. I cant describe how grateful I am for his extremely informative videos. Well done and thank you.

  • @chloeleedow7250

    From the last few words, this video alone had 105 million views and the subscription is closer to 950k than not. I really hope you get your million. You were given a gift being able to teach and have fun doing it and you're using it wisely I really wish you all the success in the world, seeing you smile and laugh at science in action when the epoxy seemingly even outdid even your own expectations made me smile too! I subscribed a while ago but don't follow youtube notifications much but I saw this in my suggested and had to watch as with any of your videos when I see them come up 😊

  • @griffinshorts785

    After watching the whole video I found myself genuinely excited after seeing the change in the bending modulus of the epoxy from carbon black to graphene. Your channel really is a golden find!

    I do not usually comment on CZcams videos, but have to express my congratulations for the great job you are doing in this channel. My PhD was in Chemistry/Materials science and I can't believe how well you are presenting these subjects. Kudos !

    Amazing video! In the papers I read from Rice they mentioned an annealing step for the graphene, but apparently that's not needed to achieve great results as you have. Really great job on this.

    You are really a great teacher of science and lab experimentation. You certainly can hold people's attention with your demonstrations and explanations!

  • @rigilchrist

    Your demonstrations are extraordinary, thrilling. You put a huge amount of thinking, designing, and engineering into them - and also into your easy-to-follow explanations of complex processes. You deserve 5m subscribers and I hope you get them. Bravo!

    The range of scientific disciplines you demonstrate in such a professional manner never ceases to impress me. I know people who specialise in some of these fields that can't explain the concepts as well as you do.

    This guy had my lifetime sub and loyalty a long time ago when I heard him say in one of his videos, "These aren't your garden variety superconductors." In that particular episode, he was building a rail gun. Somehow, I think it was meant to be mounted on a drone or something. That utterance to me ranked right up there with, "You built a time machine out of a DeLorean?"

    I can only imagine the amount of behind the scenes time and effort by you and your son that go into making and editing these incredible videos! Outstanding work to both of you! This one in particular was hit out of the park at so many levels.
