TEDxCaltech - Angela Belcher - Engineering Biology to Make Materials for Energy Devices

Angela Belcher is the W. M. Keck Professor of Energy, Materials Science & Engineering, and Biological Engineering at MIT. A materials chemist, her primary research focus is evolving new materials for energy, electronics and the environment. "Time" magazine named her a "Hero" in 2007 for her research on Climate Change and, in 2009, Rolling Stone named her one of "100 People Who Are Changing the World."

About TEDx, x = independently organized event: In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)

On January 14, 2011, Caltech hosted TEDxCaltech, an exciting one-day event to honor Richard Feynman, Nobel Laureate, Caltech physics professor, iconoclast, visionary, and all-around "curious character." Visit TEDxCaltech.com for more details.

In the beginning she was talking about making viruses adapt bacteria and picking the bacteria that were actually responding in the way they were after. But I wonder how they managed to pick that specific one out? What kind of method was used?

Do it yourself see ho u

ll do it :). Since the fake jews took our money and 25 years to teach post communism like democracy, good luck.

I've read about your work. It was good to hear you speak.

Great stuff! I am really inspired now!

WOW, that's some amazing technology. I thought this was going to be a lame design talk about using nature to influence engineering, but no. This represents one of the few people in the world actually doing nanoscale engineering. This is very exciting.
