Charlotte Chan asked the Naked Scientists:
Hi!
I really like the naked scientist podcast! Thank you so much for sharing all this amazing knowledge.
So my question is:
Why can skating blades support the weight of a human and what type of metal is the blade made out of so that it's long lasting and resistant to rusting and so forth?
Thanks!
