The World's Most Powerful Microscope - KQED QUEST

I think they could next make SuperMaterials that don't crack or overheat.

[ivanlagrossemoule]

That's awesome. We saw a few similar images in material science courses.

[Regginyaga]

Berkeley california...

that was it for me

[epicmannn]

I say ally -womb -miny -hum

[BEmuslimBE]

is the shape of atoms Hexagonal????

wow

[daltonairsofter]

@BEmuslimBE No this is just how carbon atoms combine

[BEmuslimBE]

@daltonairsofter

is it circle?? or we don't know

[C0SSAQ]

Is Ellen Degeneres the narrator?

; )

[saganemc2]

@C0SSAQ no, but she was an actress, don't know her name. very funny though!

[harshLesson]

thank you so much for this wonderful clip.

[idiotkrati]

who care about the pronunciation of Aluminum?

the fact remains that we are talking about the same thing: 13 protons and 13 electrons with an electronegativity of 1.6 and electrons in orbitals 1S2 2S2 2P6 3S2 3P1.

You know what? I am calling it Alabama!

Damn

[wassup986]

Watch this beast turn into the size of a pen in the next few centuries. Like the huge computer which are now calculators for $5.

[harshLesson]

@wassup986 your absolutely right. and watch China will be churning out all the different kinds of superscopes.

[wassup986]

@harshLesson Or Russia (me being Russia, I know a lot about it) because scientifically, Russia is, I think, more advanced than China.

[quangluu96]

Yay, my stupid science teacher say, we cant see atom, Ooh, guess hes wrong, cuz i can see it =)

[7paco]

such as annoying narrator accent, can't watch this any longer

[1stsmosh]

30 million dollars spent and still can't figure the differences between various atoms in an alloy!

[PCpete101]

I wondering, what are those things at 3:17.

[dudecomestocum]

@PCpete101 nanocandies

[axellerateAB]

Correct me if im wrong... but does carbon not have 4 bonding sites? The sheet in the video 3:35 has 3. Any ideas anyone? Remember this is 1 atom thick... there is nothing 'behind' it.

[DymaxionWorld]

4 bounds is in 3D when carbon form a tetrahedra.

[b29349]

One of the bonds is attached to another carbon atom and these that you see are energy points. They are still moving in the image.

[sarakalol]

Aluminium is from latin

[SikGamer70]

Aloominam.

It's pronounced al-you-min-yum you dumb americans.

[adeadlysniper]

Wrong. Your British pronounciation is "al-you-min-ee-um" because in the King's English it's spelled "Aluminium." Look it up next time before you make yourself look retarded.

[SikGamer70]

Wow you didn't even read what I said properly. Good job dumbass.

[adeadlysniper]

...Wow. Ok since you didn't get it the first time, let me rephrase it for you. Aluminum is the american spelling, and the way they said it in the video is correct. Aluminium is the british spelling and it is pronounced "al-you-min-ee-um." No version of aluminum is pronounced "al-you-min-yum" as you attempted to point out.

It's ok. You're a bit slow, but we all forgive you.

[deafencryption]

@adeadlysniper dude shut up your picking a usless fight >> ITS a fucking word you!

[TheWwweee]

@adeadlysniper 

[supergsx]

@adeadlysniper WRONG. No one gives a shit.

[Sneak174]

You are a dumbass. I mean how fucking stupid can you be.

[gennadiysdengi]

i want one

[theredrooter]

wow, nice clip but there are some silly alien believers on youtube infesting the place with all these faith statements.

[dgk990]

we're just a fetus compared to elder races that lurk out in the universe.

Humans are a very young race and have far to much to learn still.

[Xynok111]

How do you know? We could be the oldest race in absolute existance. Nobody knows so you can't make a claim like that

[shivamchauhan19]

even a time like 100 yrs is enough to make them elder to us...there are 400 billion stars in our galaxy (1 trillion in andromeda) and according to hubble telescope our latest guess about number of total galaxies is 125 billion........and every star has some planets revolving around it...so dude there is a lot of chance about millions of other ( probably billions or trillions) races and they got to be elder than us ( well...most of them) as we are only 200,000 years old a race

[justinlc1]

I bet they find there is no end. I think we'll find ourselfs looking into different deminsions. Awesome stuff

[bigbingham]

Thats illogical, seen as the 4th dimension is time and is no longer physical. The 5th dimension will be something that we cannot comprehend, let alone see through a microscope. Would be nice though :)

[PitFiend2001]

If there is no end to the micro world im sure there will be many many suprises for us to find in the future! Just as we do not know what lies beyond the furthest reaches of the universe!

[princeofexcess]

whats awesome is that when we can actually build things like microscopes on nano-scale we can actually see more clearly

so it's self improving tech

more and more precise tools are needed to make more and more precise tools

its awesome :D

[BirdValiant]

Beautiful.

[teemuruskeepaa]

7:00 I watched it again and again because the information on how resolution in formed was important to me
