It has taken many months, but I was finally able to make a decent aerogel!

i love how he casually just said that the best part is how it gets trapped in your eyelids and causes permanent blindness

I felt the joy with you when at the end the aerogel finally had no cracks! I watched the whole 40m and feel fresh after it, learned a lot and it was super entertaining! Thank you!

Aerogel: the most confusing substance:
Sounds like a brick
Breaks like ceramic
Looks like jello
Weighs like a paper clip
And takes heat like a boss

you know you've have reached peak chemistry when you grate some candle as a mold base to make aerogel

that frustrated "MMM" at 12:03 was priceless

Can we just appreciate how labour intensive this is to make and how Nile actually came up with some great solutions even improving on the instructions he was following. Aerogel is like unobtainium, almost impossible to make. It's a material that literally can not exist without supercritial drying, yet here's a full video on Youtube showing exactly how it can be made. Amazing.

The noise he made when he dropped the gel, âU N H H Hâ

"I had never done anything like this before, but I had faith that I could do it."
What a life motto.

I thought all you needed was a gel sack and a Ruby.

Watching the liquid reach supercritical was super cool. The way the reflection from the bottom of the surface transitioned to refraction and then to transparent was awesome and ithe border between the two phases disappeared was awesome.

"- it can form in both your lungs and your eyes"

>Me reminiscing over his old video budgets after he just spent over $8,000 (mostly on pure gold) in his latest video (late December, 2023) about making purple gold.
Our Red-Boi's come a long way over the years! Here's to more success and growth in 2024!

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.

If you are a person who has successfully created and shaped aerogel, does that make you an Aerosmith?

"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

âMy favorite part about this chemical is that the fumes turn your eyes and lungs into literal quartz and cause permanent blindnessâ
Thank you NileRed, very cool.

i watched this at night for 43 mins (including sponsor and outro) i made my own now i gave it to my brother, he loved it. without you i couldnt have been happier, Nile!
and also now my brother and oldersister watch you for science, hope you live as a legend!
