Bill Nye explains super materials with the help of super emoji

Superhero costumes are almost as iconic as the characters that wear them. From Iron Man’s armor (which is now made of gold and titanium, not iron) to Superman’s blue and red ensemble, super suits are the most identifiable aspect of any comic book hero.

While the materials that make these costumes may be fiction, there are actually real super materials in our world. Materials like graphene are thinner than paper and stronger than steel.

Check out the video above for more on super materials from Bill Nye and some really fun superhero emoji.

Seriously though, can we get an Iron Man emoji?
