Nano Tekno: Everything Went Black

[MrEdobob]

So how would those nano-stuff be different with bacterias if they had gain more complexity?

[NanoClips]

@MrEdobob the robots shown here are very very far from bacteria. In fact, when anyone wants to make a nanorobot, its far easier to take a bacteria and modify it... its already the perfect nanomachine. But this is not something i know how to do :)...

[eviltheory]

cool video. Have you tried different material systems like GaAs/InP wires? What is the reason that the bulk modulus decrease at the nanoscale?

[NanoClips]

@eviltheory 2 years later - SORRY ... The bulk modulus does not necessarily decrease. Single walled carbon nanotubes have perfect structure and very high modulus. Depending on the material and the fabrication process, there can be many defects in the structure (nanotube made with chemical vapor deposition are often defected) and there can also be surface effects - the surface becoming a bigger and bigger part of the structure, as the structure is reduced in size...

that's a silicon/carbon nanotube i think...

Oh man, I find all of this SO exciting.. I am Totally subscribing to you NanoClips!

Peace

p.s. Nanotechnology is the Future!

Nice video. The tubes are nicely grown in a regular pattern. Are they nanotubes or nanofibers?

[NanoClips]

well... they are multiwalled nanotubes at the core, but have been coated (not by purpose) by an amorphous layer during the growth process - it happens when the etching process that cleans up the amorphous graphite does not work well enough.

we dont know yet what it will do for us. In the nanoworld (with respect to moving and building things) we are roughly on the stage of the prehistoric humans, who are just starting to discover that hands can be used for anythings than picking up fruits. We are starting to build small instruments, that are really useful - but whether it will stay like "playing around" or will develop into a "nanocivilisation" - there is no way to tell at this point. But we are trying

Ray Kurzweil predicts that nanotechnology will become mainstream before the end of the second decade. Would you agree?

[NanoClips]

Nanotechnology is mainstream. Thing is, people who sells succesful stuff, dont need the brand "nanotechnology" - people buy computers, LEDs, harddisks, paing, sunscreen and a ton of other products, because they work and are cheap, not because they are nano. It has already happened, and it has not been such a big deal ... but try to compare a modern pocket TByte harddisk at 100 euro with state of art of storage 15 years ago. Thats mainstream nanotechnology.

Hopefully very soon nano scale robots could be created. It could revolutionize medicine (among other things of course).

Hopefully one day we can completely cure cancer and other deadly diseases.

[EnhanceTheTruth]

@Jenfucius It's not going to happen very soon at all, unfortunately.

[soepvorkje]

so what can you do with this technology?

i am really a noob in this nanotube thing

[NanoClips]

we dont know quite yet. But we are hoping to realise an assembly line very soon - during the next year or so.

[soepvorkje]

maybe they can make stronger and lighter materials ?

[kaneda13]

Dude i'm high...wtf is that.

nano weed...fuck yeah

Tiny nano weeds wedizzie.

[NanoClips]

well, actually, they are not the smallest. Sorry. But they seem to work :)

[NanoClips]

the smallest tweezers in the world, trying to break off carbon nanotubes (strong as diamont, small as virus), which have been grown on a silicon surface just as small plants.

The next thing in nanorobotics :)

[soepvorkje]

wow cool!!!

.... WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT??????
