I’m curious about how much stress this hydrophobic metal can withstand compared to solid metal.

Unsinkable at this scale where the thickness of the metal is not so much more than the thickness of the trapped air pocket, but what happens when you scale up to boat or ship building metal thicknesses?

Now take a bird and insects wings and do the same thing or make a craft where helium is on the outer shell float in air

but then heres the deal tho
at higher pressure let’s say the pressure of the weight of the ship onto the water will cause the air gap to diminish because all that gas would dissolve in the water
also movement of the ship will cause even further pressure on the air gap causing failure and it behaving like a non coated metal.
So the only way to prove it works is if they used a high pressure chamber to mimmic the pressure at which the bottom part of a boat hull would be exposed to

Wouldn’t the salt water of the ocean act as a abrasive liquid and scrape off the layer.

Might not be great for boats. Sounds great for boat keys.

Cool research… but producing this laser painted metal is more expensive than producing carbon composite rocket hull…. good luck getting turning this into any practical production vehicle, ONCE they figure out how to produce it at a larger scale.

Don’t say “unsinkable”.

There’s no such thing as an unsinkable ship.

Unsinkable metal doesn’t mean unsinkable boat, simply because a boat would never be only of this metal alone, all the cargo, people, etc. inside would drive it to the bottom of the ocean. Without cargo and people sure it would stay afloat like a wooden plank stays afloat even if it is punctured. Ride that wooden plank though and it will sink. Same here.
