Cotton gives Miwu Science's ice block a tough new role

A hammer test pits soft fibers against rocks and rebar in the week's most-watched new upload.

Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

Add This to Ice and You Won’t Be Able to Smash It?! 【repo】

The cotton gets dismissed before anyone swings a hammer. In Miwu Science's ice-block experiment, one challenger backs rocks, another chooses rebar, and both find that their seemingly sturdy choices shatter.

The soft option is the surprise. In "Add This to Ice and You Won't Be Able to Smash It?! 【repo】", cotton-reinforced ice survives hammer blows and a drop onto stone pavement. An animation explains how the fibers bind the ice together and help stop cracks. It is a science demonstration wrapped in a comedy sketch, with the challengers' certainty doing much of the setup.

That upload drew about 34,000 views, the largest total among the week's three additions. Viewers are talking about cotton's unexpected toughness, guessing at how the fibers hold everything together and imagining the block as a shield. A few also recognize the experiment and ask for new material.

Fire-tornado and microwave uploads rounded out the week. The microwave video is currently gathering views fastest among the channel's active titles, with the cotton test close behind; an earlier molten-salt-and-water upload also keeps drawing attention.

Miwu Science remains just short of six million subscribers, with no subscriber gain this week. Daily viewing is running below its usual pace. Nearby in the science neighborhood, Be Smart is seeing above-usual daily viewing, while minutephysics is close to its normal rhythm. For Miwu Science, the week's most memorable result is smaller and satisfyingly concrete: cotton stays together after the harder-looking materials give way.

cotton kinda has aura

lemme guess the cotton binds with the ice forming a bonded structure to make it stronger
