Nanoscope peers beyond the limits of light

[heloizyjhenifer]

Nukulus is not a word...

[deathjester145]

ah so magic then?

[geniemist]

O.o

[dickieharris100]

Fancy a pint ?

[ashtonnesmith]

Most science podcast have jarring music... that is why I avoid them.

[mogghee]

this is awesome

[bk344]

Evreryone interested in this field needs to research Royal Rife and see how good a light microscope could really be.

[Physics4FutureTeslas]

@bk344 I'm very happy to see someone who sees the connection between this and rife as I did :D

[darkjannn]

@bk344 I actually did and have just found out that Rife, even though at least his microscope was decent and ahead of his day, couldn't dream to be on par with technology like this. Please place one in a lab near mine :P

[ctiebs]

@bk344 Rife machines... sounds legit.

[ughzean]

please dont cure aging in 50 years there will be over 100 billion ppl on the planet and we will be fucked

[radioactivestd]

@ughzean Don't worry only the ruling class will get the anti aging treatment.

[Cunelito]

so true radioactivestd

and we can't do anything about it cause we don't know who the ruling class is

same as in ~1600 90% work for 10% not to work

[drewshallperish]

@radioactivestd i agree... Social Darwinism sounds bad but its the only way for our civilization can evolve... only the strongest should survive

[radioactivestd]

That would work if humans evolved anymore. We change our environment; the environment no longer forces us to evolve. You also have to buy into the current theory of evolution. Don't get me wrong I'm not talking about religion. I'm just saying that the origin of species may be weirder than they let on; as to not breed any dissent in the kids at school.

Do you really want twits like Paris Hilton running around with immortality upgrades?

watched Repo the genetic opera. I guess it already happened.

[smith22041]

who ever said it would be the strong, maybe only be the rich >.>

[drewshallperish]

@smith22041 true

[g1234538]

No we'll be on Mars, the moon, and space colonies by then. No worries if they make a cure for old age.

[ughzean]

thats what they said in the 1950's lol

[fuunguus]

Agreed. Aging should only be stopped for the purpose of intergalactic travel, and never for the purpose of living for ever.

[smith22041]

How about lengthening the lifespan of our greatest minds? imagine what some of the great ones could have done with just 50 more years.

[fuunguus]

You got a point. But I think that by the time we have mastered control of aging we will be able to create artificial intelligence. Extremely precise simulations of the human brain is an easy way to create artificial intelligence with all the abilities a human brain has, I think mimicking the brain structure of great minds would be a viable option that would last for ever. It might even be done in only a few decades, its being attempted and they claim that we only need more computer power.

[fuunguus]

In a few decades we sure gonna have CPU's that uses light instead of electricity. Such a CPU would be thousands of times faster than what we got now. Computer power will not be a problem in the near future. There are only a few issues left that needs solving before the technology is usable.

[zernestro]

@fuunguus in a few decades we'll have a bloody mess on this planet

[jessiessica]

@fuunguus in only a few decades? You don't realise how extremely far we are from mapping the human brain do you?

Many neuropsychologists argue that the brain can never be mapped in its entirety for a number of reasons:

One being that we only inherit a vague blueprint for the structure of our brain from our DNA. There is so much individual variation as to the location and function of these structures, it's ridiculous.

[val0en0tien]

ageing "and various diseases"

[sonofhendrix]

Ageing is a disease?

[ughzean]

aging AND VARIOUS diseases

(aging and other diseases) if that were true

[alienfast]

Lol. I can understand someone saying "nucular" because a lot of people say it that way...but this narrator said "nuculous" instead of "nucleus" LMAO!!

[nashixe]

Also, New Scientist, its NuCLEAR envelope and NuCLEUS. Not NuCULAR.

[Shalek]

Sweet.

[Kragock]

cool

[danbolser]

More information please! Links to articles etc. :-)

Cell can be kept alive for days while imaged periodically... awesome!

[omgLordLituslol]

this idiot clearly says nucular and nuculus

et tu brute?

[Aeonboom]

and the guy that said it is English...the same as me...and theres no such thing as a "Redneck" here...He didnt even say it in a Chav way...which is our version of Redneck...He has a clear English accent from where I'm sitting.

[crazybastard82]

he said "nuke-you-lar..." lmfao. i thought only rednecks and g w bush said that....ah-hahahahahaha.....

[Aeonboom]

he said New-klee-ar if you want to talk in phonetics.

Which is the correct way of saying it.

[crazybastard82]

no, he says it the redneck way, just really fast. and i know the correct way of saying it, i'm a radiological control technician....

[alex3914]

emmmmmmmm so good.

[TechState]

how is this 'beyond' the reaches of light? they used light to do it!!!!

[jpmahone]

i think they mean beyond the limit of visible light or being able to see it

[jasonguyperson]

Small structures like these are smaller than the wavelength of the useful electromagnetic (light) spectrum, so normally they cannot be seen as light simply passes by, unaffected.

This is a demonstration of a new method of microscopy using interference patterns to derive images.

Fascinating.

[therealsuperhobo]

@TechState

There's something called the diffraction limit.

[heloizyjhenifer]

@TechState Beyond the limits of unstructured light then.

[BirdValiant]

Lol. He said "nucyulus."

[WilliamDaGalloway]

That's the first time I ever heard it with an English accent.

[test123ok]

Lol -Tony Bush ;)

[mrboxleytheonly]

COOL!!

[Hibrona]

Where can i find extra info.?

please, thanks.

[shiningcamel]

Interesting research! *~*PEACE!*~*

[EnragedSephiroth]

Sick!

[123PSI]

This work is being done at my college, it 'flashes' the cell with a high power fempto-second laser pulse, the high energy photons cause the cell structures to fluoresce which is picked up by several detectors to be processed later. If dyes are not used, the cell can be imaged alive without killing it.

[Delta2477A]

Also, can it image in real-time (animated) or just fixed images?

[Delta2477A]

What does these nanoscopes look like?

[adrastea99]

If you have no face, how can i look at you?

Well which is it, will you kill me or my mum?

What if shes already dead?

What if im dead and im haunting you?

[TeddyLeper]

Mind-blowingly incredible!

[S3nd41]

My cells have yellow smiley faces instead of red dots :x

[surGeonGG]

This is awesome. <3 science

[mibs959]

wow...

[m133573333]

wow, this is realy awsome stuff! pats on backs for scientists!

the death rate is 100%, and always has been.

life is the leading cause of death.

i suggest you all just dont worry and try being nice, say please and thank you, smile at people, maybe try and think of a couple jokes. dont walk around like someones pissed in your cereal.

[fransasseldonk]

dude. . .

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

Aging is very similar to a disease.

Aging kills 100,000 people a day and should be fought.

[Ubelevil]

Sure, people living forever, that would be great for the earth! No overpopulation here, move along.

[adrastea99]

Dumbass, aging should not be fought.

In fact all medicine should be banished so only the fittest survive.

Couple of millions of years of this and we have no need for medicine.

[DamienZshadow]

Great idea! We'll all just have to live until 40 and have half as many babies and mothers survive child birth! Yay! We can finally start dying of Hepatitis, e.Coli, and other random pathogens and just leave it to genetic predisposition! Wonderful, while we're at it, let's just trash all our technology! REAL survivors should just use what they have available to them, their bare hands! Oh yeah, that's how it's done.

[/sarcasm]

Honestly, our big brains were evolved for a reason...USE IT!

[sakuratoy89]

oh yeah a couple of million of years of fighting to survive then evolution would make us stupid brutes instead of intelligent beings. clearly our knowledge is what makes us fit. look at our number even with our deaths rate.

[adrastea99]

There are too many people alive right now, and this is going to kill us all. And humanity being extinct is not very fit.

Most of the problems today medicine, food shortage, gas shortage, environmental risk etc, can all be solved by having a more compact society of maybe two or three billion.

[yz250bmd]

I nominate you to begin the thinning of the herd.

[adrastea99]

LoL

[goldtapfinger]

we have more than enough land etc to grow food but some countries will not organise themselves well enogh by themselves for it to be used cough*africa*cough

[scriewy]

yea and you can cut down more than anough trees and print more than anough money and share it between more than anough humans on this planet. we over populated 80 years ago dumbass. producing more is just sealing the holes in the rotten system instead of dealing with the root of the problem.

[ScaryMints]

Yea, they are sooo stupid to not know how to raise veg in deserts. And who cares if they don't have enough water because of drought or disease. It's their fault the climate is the way it is.

[Metalrasputian]

I'm sorry, did you say "It's their fault the climate is the way it is."? because that is the most dumbass thing I've heard come out of a person's mouth since someone asked my chilian freind if he spoke chilian... How is it their fault? And it's kind of hard to raise crops in a place VOID OF WATER WITHOUT DIGGING TO AN EXTREME DEPTH, which makes irrigation kind of hard, or did we forget about gravity for a second?

[ScaryMints]

dude, it's called sarcasm. I was referring to the asenine comment made by the person above me.

[adrastea99]

cough*africa aint exactly fertile its mostly clay and desert, also its not a country its a continent*cough

If we killed all the large animals and plants to make room for this ultra farm, yea i see this working. Although that would release a lot of carbon which would increase the greenhouse effect and kill everything on the ultra farm.

Your logic is holey, just like my doughnut.

[goldtapfinger]

actually africa has vast areas of fertile land but due to war/conflicts in africa it prevents its use you say its mostly clay and desert you obvoiusly never looked at the whole country

[adrastea99]

First, allow me to address this idiotic misconception you have that Africa is a country. ITS NOT.

Ive looked at the whole of Africa and less then 10% of the land is fertile farming ground for cereal crop. Around 40% is fertile if heavy irrigation is introduced, but where will this water come from?

exploringafrica . matrix . msu . edu / images / africavegetation . j p g

Keep in mind that only the forests are fertile ground, the savanna, steppe, desert and semi desert cannot be farmed.

[GumbyDude7]

You "obvoiusly" haven't ever looked at the whole "country" either as Africa is a continent and not a country.

[Gutpunchtaker]

Indeed. And the population growth would finaly give us the push we need to get off this damn rock.

[TheHamidon]

SCIENCE!

[Ghengiseanie]

looks like pictures of nebula to me, more evidence of the fractal nature of creation

[Flyborg]

Go science!

[reavin21]

this is a new term for examination of the nucleus. ~ nanonuckelus

[photonelectron]

looks like a brain

[Fahim00717]

Now we maybe able to create more powerful medicine. It will help us to examine the disease like HIV more perfectly.

[oggleman]

good video

[Cat919]

Rated 1 star - just for "nuckelus" - fucking insulting that a scientific narrator can't even pronounce the words properly. I'd flunk him just for that.

[Shiniebrightie]

its awesome~ ^ . ^

[sortofsorted]

a good smoke and maybe i can see the meaning of what the fuck you chatting about!!!!

[allenamerica]

if you smoke weed before you watch this video it's better, and it's more funny than annoying when he says nuculous

[poornation]

.... What?

[slcricket]

its the 'nucleus' and the nuclear envelope, jeez say it right newscientist video man.

[AtheistCitizen]

agreed, he says it as a British "George W" would. Doesn't reflect well.

[Ch8ese]

Yeah, I noticed that too... "Nucuelous" or something?

Dead interesting video otherwise, though!

[AtheistCitizen]

isn't language funny. Many of us independently were distracted from this otherwise wonderful video by a subtle mispronunciation

[GoRideaMTN]

the nucleolous is the nucleus of a nucleus

[swyft187]

Best vid so far.

[wageofsins]

Wow that's pretty amazing.

[Owm109]

... Nuc-yu-lus?

Is that like a nuke-yah-lur submarine?

Otherwise, good video.

[superdau]

Nucular. It's pronounced "Nucular" ;-)

[mlockridge]

Consonant clusters cause problems for some people.

Say "toy boat" five times real fast.

[omfgrotfllmfao]

You made my night. Thankyou.

[KCGary]

LOL!

[ixkey]

This nanoscope is a good invention.

[CillaDC]

Yeah it really is a breakthrough.

[andopolis]

Not as good a Hubert J. Farnsworth's Smelloscope...

[DamienZshadow]

Careful, just don't point it at Uranus.

[roadkill1918]

ROFL i saw that episode

[dilibau]

just like in Murphy's law, I'm sure scientists have already built a weapon with this ...

[scienterprize]

The opening sound is really hurting my ears!!!!!!

[ScottishAtheist]

Cool!

[metalo1973]

Thanks Science.

[Clockworkforest]

This guys voice is much better than the lady - no offense to the lady. Great vid.

[Fahim00717]

Now we maybe able to create more powerful medicine. It will help us to examine the disease like HIV more perfectly.

[Clockworkforest]

Yeah! It will also will aid nanotech which ultimately will also do the same kind of thing.

[vdubmerc3]

Very true, thing is scientists probably have already created some of the cures for those kind of diseases, but they have to go through the FDA before the public can use them.

[buttface1202]

its all a conspiracy man!!!! *puts on tin foil hat*

im more and more surprised by how suspicious, cynical, and paranoid the american public is with science. jesus christ.

[buttface1202]

lmfao

[matieman77]

lol calm down... ^^

[kionji]

LOL! Wtf are YOU on about?

[TOAFN]

Awakeness and clarity. I can highly recommend it!!!

[brianjames002]

you sir are an idiot

[arshsingh1984]

Amazing :-D

[dafttool]

This development should be able to assist medical research greatly. I can imagine them designing molecules to perfectly fit attachment sites that turn on or off certain cell functions associated with diseases.

[wjfox2006]

Fascinating :)

[iynque]

I love this channel so much!

[syonnain]

That is incredibly promising.

[Tattoo1377]

Hang on kids, the nanotechnology ride is gonna be a wild one!!

[phayde]

amazing

[lirpa69]

Go science!

[desiredusername]

"nuculus"??

[M0taX]

Incredible!!!

[trauts01]

Very cool.
