Nanotechnology Takes Off

From Lawrence Berkeley National Labs to Silicon Valley, researchers are manipulating particles at the atomic level, ushering in potential cures for cancer, clothes that don't stain, and solar panels as thick as a sheet of paper.

if the kinetic energy can become so high when condensed, couldnt it become a viable energy source? Not for anything major like a city but why not a small object like a battery? how long would those "batteries" last i wonder?

nano technology on verichip will know everything about you. This will not be forced upon the people, they WILL accept it.

ok to all... but...

and correct me if I`m wrong...

@3:46, I believe Red have the longest wave of the light spectrum, going from Infra(Red) to Ultra(Violet) in the electromagnetic spectrum... So how come when they shrink it, it turns Red, shouldn`t it turn violet!? 0_o

to fryser_d

wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency. which means violet has the highest frequency, red has lowest.. and energy of photon = hv, where v is frequency. because a more excited electron (smaller box) gives off photon with higher energy, the photon has a higher frequency and smaller wavelength.. therefore violet is higher in energy than red.

to Dusma

the kinetic evergy of an electron in this scenario only equals around 10^-34 J, which is hardly any energy.

Currently, nature (living microorganisms) eats nanobots.

By the way, if you want to get a good job, this is a very good field to go in right now. It is going to become very popular in the next 10 years and has a lot of potential.

@fattirefury:

only now does youtube have this new format attached to their media

but people have been lifting vids from youtube and other sites for a long time to put on here

where do you think they all come from? most come from some other vid site on the net

if people didnt lift clips from other sites that they wanted to share with others, this and the many other vid sites mentioned would be much less rich with content

sharing and resharing is a major characteristic of the net, actually, it thrives on it

personally I dont go on youtube very often so I appreciate the quality segments such as this that make their way here, where I check almost daily
