Playing pong with cells

[TimSAksu]

but can it run crysis?

[zxxzxzxxzxz]

THIS IS CELL ABUSE, HOW DARE YOU HURT THESE POOR DEFENSELESS BEINGS.

YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF

[inyourfacee]

0:23 looks like oddesey

[Simonttg]

i think this is a good idea..

as far as the cancer thing goes, maybe down the road.. not now for sure, but its a good stepping stone for sure

[ObliviuxProductions]

Can't they move individual atoms now? The company was IMB or something.

[BoltOfThundor]

@ObliviuxProductions yes, but it's harder to move some thing larger, this is alot more afficent then sending in your nanites.. and cheaper. which bring more bang for the buck..

[ObliviuxProductions]

Oh yeah I agree you got to move the whole cell without disrupting it or tearing ti apart.

[silversobe]

o.O nice

[PlayT0E]

Placing cells in particular places when making artificial tissue is necessary. Previously, there was no easy way to move them around.

[mynameisinuse]

couldnt this eventually be used in isolating cancerous cells?

[joosy13]

well I hope so!

[matt123matt4]

i was thinking that

[DJuggz06]

unfortunately not, only in labs, because you need a culture medium.

(unless you were studying cancerous cells in the lab ofcourse)

[MinimoviesInc]

@mynameisinuse Probably not, as these cells are floating in substance, and cancerous tissue would not.

[jxaxmxixn]

@mynameisinuse

sure, but you've got to come up with a way to translate the workings of this device into a mass of living moving tissue.

[jxaxmxixn]

=not easy

[BoltOfThundor]

@mynameisinuse "mynameisinuse" you can only use this tech. for cancer treatment if you would like to squash a human onto a table and then play around with by now "it"s cells, not a good idea.. one would have to make a feald grid that is much more powerfull and that is monietered 24 seven wile there trying to move a coulpe of billion of cancer cells though your antire system.. not cheap, not as afficent as takeing it out the good old style, or killing it antirely.. so you see..

[djindio555]

wow, very promising.

[zwartkatdre]

NIIIIICE! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

[TheFluffyDuck]

This is simply amazing my jaw just hit the ground. No more dorky syringes.

[paulhallart]

brilliant.  better light than never.

[MTheoryGuy]

Wonderful, I believe my mouth was actually hanging open for the first few seconds of video. This could have so many applications.

[Planetary0]

Can they play tetris?

[KennyWrites]

Very interesting concept!

[abvmoose87]

i cant stand her voice

[4Dmetricology]

These microspheres are not true "cells" as the layman thinks of them. They are micelles.

Biological cells utilize electrical gradients in their operations, and would be affected internally by an imposed gradient.

Very interesting, and promising? tech.

b.t.w. just as your uneducated mind has no bearing on science, your uneducated ear has no bearing on her voice. Get out of your county once in your empty life.

[julian1000]

I've been to britain, I actually quite enjoy the accent. Her voice is just annoying.

[YevgenyKahnflop]

wow! this is actually interesting! keep it up guys

[Zulu747]

What cells are these

[danxl5]

Why does no one comment on how musch of an amazing find this technology is?

[ddnguyen278]

It might be possible to build cellular structures like how we build a brick wall! Cellular engineering lego style! Made to order pancreas!

[rosso98]

Wow, that kind of technology would make a pretty evil gun.

[VvissiaA]

hahaha i this is kinda like a game >:D

[Arbiem95]

I HATE the way she talks, it's annoying.

[VvissiaA]

i agree it sounds like she has a fork in her mouth...

[planetrobotics]

This is absolutely fascinating. I'm impressed.

[DrakeMagnum]

This is amazing!

[TheExPlOiTeDOne619]

Absolutely amazing!

[johnnywhiteshoe]

i don't understand why people are commenting about her voice. she has an accent; so what? get an education and i'm sure you won't mind a slight accent after hours and hours of being taught by one

[onehotseat]

It's not the accent. It's the repetitive tone in her voice that doesn't match the context. She uses such a dramatic and pronounced tone shift at the end of every sentence when it's completely unnecessary. It makes listening to her words almost unbearable.

[BinaryReader]

i actually agree with you, i thought its was just me that found her voice annoying as hell.

[vitruvian8807]

that's pretty neat.

[jesusstapler]

hey, Its 2x4 voice again D:

My Kno-lij is beeing make dum bi hur munotonus voyce

[gtssage]

amazing.

[teamforteress]

god not her again...

[PeterD2S]

they're not playing pong

[DoctorPlausible]

Impressive stuff.

[2deluxe58]

awesome

[Shaunt1]

Can they use this to remove cancer or any disease cells?

[DamienHell]

No, this can only be done in labs, and by the time they can detect a disease you have millions of the virus all over your body, and your blood cells are infected too, and I don't know if we can tell which ones are or not.

[sOulrOckmelO]

how about radiation?

[dstdvl]

manipplated

[Dilliboy63]

finally, a new scientist video worth while. Not even gonna complain about the voice because this is way cooler than hoping helicopters or tracking our trash. we can now move shit around at the cellular level!!

[325982668]

holy cow!

[sl9guitar]

HUGE step!

[nashmj]

I'm not sure what to make of the fact that one of the related videos listed for this one is "Maury: He Play Me Like I'm A PING-PONG!"

[roidroid]

This is GREAT, as it will allow automated manipulation of cells. Computers already control laser light shows - so this will be able to manipulate cells very fast, doing very monotonous work.

With this technology it could be feasible for a computer to build entire organs cell by cell.

Just think how fast a computer could move cells around, using multiple lasers, for hours and even days at a time (all automated).

[noidentity07]

u can use it for many things

[quadstrike]

cell pong :D

[pageboythehumanist]

The future of video games is here.

[N3CR1S]

this can have huge effects!! nice idea

[caseygtr]

wow, there is great some nanotechnological and medical applications to this technology

[NoodlesBubblesBeans]

She said manipulated funny, she said mahnippleated

[Tehrickman]

she says EVERYTHING funny

[LatumWay]

Haha cool!

[whatevtube]

Whoa.

[videochick770]

wow. i guess you might be able to build stuff with this technique.

[migitman999999]

well it doesnt seem like they can get them to line up very well or get them close together

[zelikris]

Could this be done to viruses?

[migitman999999]

HIV pong... YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!

[caseygtr]

sounds like fun, lets get Magic Johnson to play XD

[migitman999999]

No he cured it with his money remember?

[Fighting89Back]

HIV isn't a cell.

[Uejji]

You are correct. HIV is a virus, and viruses are not cells nor are they composed of cells.

[migitman999999]

true, but it aslo can't be classified as alive as well since it has nothing in it but RNA or DNA or whatever

[Fighting89Back]

That's actually debate ... it depends on your definition of living. They can "indirectly" reproduce and metabolize.

[migitman999999]

reproduce yes, but i dont think they metabolize. all i know they do is self replicate. i still dont know how something without the ability to use or store energy is able to move

[Fighting89Back]

They "don't" self-replicate. They use cells to replicate and for metabolism. Hence, they replicate and metabolize indirectly.

[migitman999999]

no one said self replicate, we know very well what a virus does to reproduce

[jmm00702]

u fucking retard if it had no metabolism it would not be called a life and it would not reproduce *facepalm*, what do u thing all organelles are for. mitochondrias or chloroplasts, duh ATP!! god dude this is from basic general knowledge in school, n i hate biology..

[migitman999999]

hey i was the first to say they wern't alive in the first place

[caseygtr]

If this technology works my manipulating the fluid the Cells were suspended in then it's possible to move any type of microscopic particle suspended in a fluid medium including viruses or nanobots even

[chadaf]

I think that can be use in surgery.. that would be pretty amazing to manipulate the cells without hurting them inside a living body... amazing

[siim258]

Very impressive.

[puretroubleman]

this is great, but what can it be used for?

[mingebag94]

for FUN!

[roidroid]

4 lulz

[Deathnotez123]

Amazing this is simply amazing.

[Iceman22742]

That is pretty awesome. I'm not sure what the practical use would be, but its still awesome.

[delidani]

what are those bubbles?

[bambapabbi]

OMG this is crazy, can you make more video's about this technology

[eSilva90]

KEWL! can't wait to play ping pong with my sperm

[heavensdrums]

lmao....

[topphemelig]

Awsome :O

[selsuru]

That is really cool.

[XianL]

That is incredible. Just incredible.

[lejink]

i like turtles.

[defect530]

second time today i have seen the comment "i like turtles"

[puretroubleman]

put 'I like turtles' into the search and you will understand why.

[defect530]

haha i like turtles

[mingebag94]

great, you're a great zombie

[DarkLink6590]

wow, of all the videos uploaded today, this is probably the most important. we can facilitate or prevent certain cells from interacting with each other. i suspect we could use smaller and smaller cultures to get a higher amount of product. and then some.

[SpongebobDI]

what..??

[juggep80]

I want to play pong with my brain cells

[sc0rpi0n0]

Bang your head against the wall hard enough to allow a bit of your brain to come out. Pick that bit of brain up and play with ping pong.

[gordon1201]

Now that is really cool! I can already imagine scientists designing new organic electronic chips or components in this way.

[do0me0nice]

did anyone else shit their pants?

[Paxmax]

is it ethical to play pong with cells? =o)

[C0ldking]

Is it ok, to play chess with live Human beings? :D

Its prolly not ethical correct, but It sure its going to happen anyway

[BIGGGY305]

wow thats so awesome

[JixMa]

Whoa!

[MDragonFang]

interesting...

[Aaberg123]

Brilliant!

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

I didn't see any pong being played in this video... you guys need to post more videos...

[TheDivineCellphone]

your right.. no pong !1

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

They should have at least given us some space invaders XD

[xoANONiMUSox]

niiice! next "Playing tennis With Viruses"

XD!

[TF2Pyrosux]

for gods sake GET A NEW PERSON TO SPEAK fucking annoying voice

[WhatIAm99]

I completely agree. How hard can it be to find someone with a non-abrasive voice?

[TheDivineCellphone]

I think the voice is okay...

at least it's genuine and heavily linked to "New Scientist" - i'm 100% sure about what kind of video being played, without seeing it...

that must count for something..

[DeeJayBounce]

Wasn't this old news?
