Great video. Lately i have been reading quite a lot about nanotechnology and I was pleasantly shocked when i realized just how fast this technology is growing. What i also noticed is that people act like its still science fiction. I also read some of Ray Kurzweil's articles and plan to read his books. Could you, as a scientist, tell me if the scientific community agrees with his timescale till singularity or whatever you guys call it.
Thank you StanfordNano, I still don't understand, if it is only as simple as adding some particles of iron on a carbon surface, and heat it up, why have we not discovered CNT before by accident ? There must to more to it then that ? is it sensitive information ?
this is cool stuff...im an electrical engineer and i work at a nuclear plant...if i wasn't doing that i'd definitely be going into this field...its the wave of the future!
Hi, I'm starting with my master's education on nanomaterials in a year from now and i can't wait to start. One question, which technique do you use to monitor the carbon nanotubes, some form of Electron Microscopy ?
Hi ! Thank you StanfordNano for the video. Having seen the material on which they are grown and the gold which helps to shape the end product. I still don't understand how the tubes are grown. I assume they are not grown from nothing, there must be a "seed" or a virus like material to start from. Can you please elaborate on this point ? Thank you for your time
and one more ( i couldn't fit it into the other comment box) 3. Could some solution be mixed into tar, or the blacktop used in roads to make ice and rain "not" stick to it?? therefore eliminating some of the worst driving conditions there are, and as a result less crashes and related deaths occuring.
@skimmy6 Unlikely. May bey you can somehow replace bone-tissue, but your metabolism, proteome and many other physiological aspects that are supposed to happen gradely throughout maturing., will stay behind, which will do much damage to your body. Growing is more then gaining length alone, you also need to alter muscles, tendons, sensory organs, metabolism, blood flow, etc etc
okay, i have some questions.. (im not too familiar with nanotechnology and what its puposes are, or what the possibilities are.. but here we go) 1. could N.T. be incorperated into armor, along with liquid glass, to somehow further increase the protection and flexibility?? 2. as with what other people said.. Could it be used as some sort of medical "healer" to speed up the process of tissue regeneration?( it sounds sci-fi ish but idk, haha)
Theres on-going research going on about how to manufacture carbon nanotubes in excess. Im looking for resources of any kind to help assist in this research. Do you know any new manufacturing processing or state of the art equipment that has a promising future in this research?
How fast exactly? I am particularly interested in medical nano technology Do you think that for instance we can expect nanobots curing diseases in our body with 3 or 4 decades? You should look Kurzweil up. He says we will have nanobots replacing red blood cells in our body and a whole lot of other stuff by 2029. Would you agree with that or do you think it might take a lot longer? Sorry for these kinda weird questions. Its just that i never had a chance to talk to a scientist on youtube. :)
@Christian9872 I think if people didn't worry about money, they would have to make their own food, and wouldn't have time to research things like this.
@Christian9872 very true, but, people need boundaries. Without boundaries people would go mad. They would kill, steal, etc. Money is what keeps humanity sane, even if that is what keeps us from advancing in some fields.
Sweet. To quote The Discovery Channel... "The World Is Just Awesome..." Such endeavors give me some much needed hope and optimism...

Thank for the video. It was very educational.
I hope you will post more videos in the future.
Thank you very mch for the video, I am suprised how fast this excellent video was developed. keep p the good work !

By your estimates, how long until CNT CPUs are commercially viable?
How much are these materials expected to cost?
I love carbone. Carbon fiber, carbone nano tubes... I think were just at the tip of the iceberg with this technology.
Very nice video!
very good vid answered alot of questions
Very cool stuff!
"please come join us"
lol i would, if it where that easy.

So they can basically build food from atoms...
good presentation.
may I ask if the gold being used in the process is recycled.
i love science
yay science!!
