http://www.ted.com We have no ways to directly observe molecules and what they do -- Drew Berry wants to change that. At TEDxSydney he shows his scientifically accurate (and entertaining!) animations that help researchers see unseeable processes within our own cells.

TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. Featured speakers have included Al Gore on climate change, Philippe Starck on design, Jill Bolte Taylor on observing her own stroke, Nicholas Negroponte on One Laptop per Child, Jane Goodall on chimpanzees, Bill Gates on malaria and mosquitoes, Pattie Maes on the "Sixth Sense" wearable tech, and "Lost" producer JJ Abrams on the allure of mystery. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design, and TEDTalks cover these topics as well as science, business, development and the arts. Closed captions and translated subtitles in a variety of languages are now available on TED.com, at http://www.ted.com/translate

  • My biology feels so alien right now

    O_O

  • @RainK9 It was in mine...

  • @danxscarltonxaway well your conviction doesnt have any value for truth

  • O look after 10 shitty ted talks, a good 1. LOL. Still I don't mean to detract from this talk. It was excellent.

  • @danxscarltonxaway I choose not to insult you, even though you ARE asking for it with your post, as you are comparing unreplicable componnents like a car to replicable ones whose properties are what dictates their motion and interactions. You argument is known as "Hoyle's Fallacy", please look it up. No biological process is sudden appearance, but gradual build-up of complexity, it is your kind who believe in spontaneous appearance. ;)

  • @RainK9 already done :)

  • bravo!

  • WHAT THE FUCK WHY HAS NO ONE EVER TOLD ME THAT THERE ARE LITTLE FUCKING MOLECULE CREATURES INSIDE OF ME BUILDING ME!!!! THEY FUCKING WALK!!!! WITH LEGS!!!!! WHAT THE FUUUCK!!!!.....and i thought i knew it all...

  • lol I read the title as, 'Applications of unseeable technology'
