Machines so tiny they would be far smaller than a human blood cell, this is the promise of nanotechnology, and they already exist but how are they even made and will they be scarier than A.I. Experts say that we are just at the beginning of the nanobot revolution and what they promise could little short of miraculous. In this video we look at how we got here and what the current state of the art is

This was actually the first time I've ever bought anything from any channel sponsor on any channel. Thanks for not trying to sell me a VPN. :)
This is something to think about and ponder on is that what you think ?....Why yes i think you are right.....Thanks Paul 👍
Old F-4 Shoe🇺🇸
There's no such thing as AI
Paul, I do occasionally buy things from UA-cam channels, but this is one of the more interesting and important ones I’ve bought. Thank you for the offer. Trouble is their order website process has confused and crossed the two orders I was trying to send I have contacted their support and hope that they can straighten it out. Not your fault. Thanks again.
A ~2.5 minute long ad at the start of your 13 minute video is pretty aggressive. I know a lot of people will tell me to piss off but keep in mind I am paying $23/month already for UA-cam Premium to avoid ads and I am one of your Patreon members contributing $10/month directly to you because I appreciate your content. So I think I'm in a fair enough position to express my distaste for such a long ad at the start of a video that isn't so long, all things considered. I wear headphones while at work listening to podcasts and channels I like so I'm not always able to run back to my desk to skip ahead on my phone so I'm stuck listening about why I need someone to mail me a letter from Winston Churchill.
I still love what you do but I feel I have a responsibility to share my feedback about it because others likely share my feelings.
Returning to the containment room, Dr Plinkington suddenly realised his nanobot test patient had been transformed into a large pyramid of Ferraro Rocher. "Excellent!", he said out loud gleefully to himself, "they have decided to be diplomatic!"
Carl would have been hoping for a hobnob I would have thought, Ferrero Rocher is too posh 😂
We’ve all seen Stargate SG1, the Replicators will kill us all. We should presently be looking for an ancient intergalactic EMP generator
Don’t worry the Asgard will hook us up in the end.
Indeed 😅
No we have not all seen I haven't
@@anthonypert574you really should, it's one of the best science fiction shows out there
@@Jameson1776 I think they needed us more than we needed them.
Nanotechnology. It's no big deal.
LOL!😀
The fact we understand Kinesins now is amazing and would be helping the insights of making molecular robots
Those already are molecular robots, what more do you want?! Evolution has tinkered around for billions of years and arrived at one place: proteins dissolved in water are the best nano bots. I don't think there's much room for improvement. *Proteins are nano-bots. DNA is digital nano information storage.* Combined, those can already create quasi magical things like a gigantic tree growing from a small seed. Or constructing a neural network so complex that it has consciousness (Yes, I mean the brain). Or destroy other nano-machines by exponential reproduction (viruses).
I always enjoy your videos don't ever stop making them, You're a legend on the same level as David Attenborough and Patrick Stewart.
The crossover I've been waiting for: Courious Droid and Watchfinder!!! Thank you Paul, you've made my Christmas!!!😂
Btw, I loved the fact that while researching for one subject (the Inertial navigation) you got sidetracked onto another. Stay Courious and stay healthy my friend!!!
This is quite impressive. Nanotech of this variety was all the rage in the 80's, but before too long the hype died down and it looked like thermodynamics might have decided it was not too be. However, it looks like we've sorted some of this out. That's pretty exciting. Thanks for the update, Paul.
I would say a lot has come from understanding the mechanics of a cell. They know how’s the replicate the small motors that transport everything around, just have basic rules to them
It's one of those topics where people dream of things they already have. It's called biology. You body is constructed by nanomachines called proteins. The information about how to build those is stored in DNA (a different nano-technology for long term digital information storage). Protein nano machines read the DNA in order to produce more proteins. That's what life is. You ARE a collection of nanomachines. Yes, living organisms like big plants growing from a tiny seed really seems magical, it's that awesome. And with viruses, also terrifying. Biotechnology has been working on those all along.
Reminds me of the flying car hype. You already have them, they're called helicopters...
it's like the promise of virtual reality in the 90's. We had nowhere near the tech for it, and only do today because of the cell phone industry.
In the early 1990s, I first learned about nanotechnology, and it rocked my world. Over time, it seemed to me that using natural nanomachines would be the way to go. Now, after years of dreaming about it, I can also see the horrors that we'll probably unleash from atomic manipulation. But, in the end, I still wish to go forth with it, and God help us all.
That's the spirit! Damn the torpedos! All engines ahead full!
Anyone ever noticed that DNA "walkers" look a bit like Turing machines?
Holy Shit Your Right
because that is exactly what they are. Self replicating bio weapons engineered by a precursor race that ultimately wiped themselves off the face of the earth due to their hubris
...or a theoretical Turing machine.
A welcome followup to the story about gyroscopes to explain how the miniature ones work without a spinning wheel. Looks like magic to me.
Nanomachines, son
YOU CAN'T HURT ME JACK!
I'M MAKING THE MOTHER OF ALL OMELETTES HERE JACK
Ever since reading "Engines of Creation" back in the day, I've been waiting patiently for signs that generalised nano-assemblers were around the corner. So far, it seems they're further away than fusion power; we're chipping away at the foundational knowledge and techniques, but we're a long, long way from that dream of being able to pull apart and reform matter at the molecular level at will. I'm kind of scared of what we'll do with such technology, so maybe that's for the best.
It has already been accomplished. Other organizations are 50+ years ahead of everyone else.
No offence , but can you site sources on that? if you could find the latest advances online (Which I doubt anyone with this tech would let such information out) that would be great@@simhess9720
Thanks for this video.
Really enjoyed all the input.
Thanks for making a video that is more relevant to today. I love all ur work and now it has got even better.
It’s the A.I. controlled nanobots that you’ve got to be concerned about!
True, they might resort to calling us ugly bags of mostly water.
No, its the USERS of the AI-controlled nano bots you should be more focused on. AI can't do crap without an order.
AI "won't" do anything without an order. For now...
Excellent update from Engines of Creation by Eric Drexler.
Thanks for this. I won't be sleeping for several days now... 😂
Paul, I want you to know this is one of my favorites channel on UA-cam
And here's me just finished Michael Cricthon's book Prey on Thursday, well timed sir, well timed.
fascinating! But as I watch these and others, in my head always pops up two words besides my fascination of the cutting edge tech.
GREAT FILTER???
Thank you for your great work. I love the channel.
If it is a great filter - I wonder how often the nanobot technology coincides with the birth of AGI? Seems almost like there's some convergence of several threatening techs at the same time.
The optimum word paul is useful and scaled up. A very long way to to go..i know that is more than one and word but i still love all your vids.
'We are Borg. Resistance is futile.'
super interesting to see what people have been doing with this tech! might be a little while yet before the computers small enough to power these little guys get to the same scale. I was hoping to pm you this following info but it seems there is no option; when preloading this video i got an ad apparently made by some Canadian government agency claiming this video to be spreading false information. prob some yt algorithm bs but might be worth a look into. love your videos and watch every single one.
I'm no scientist and I don't even play one on tv...but I get the feeling that the future, the ultra miniature future....will be based more on extremely modified biology as opposed to inert atoms and molecules....
It's sort of the same thing at that scale
All your videos are high quality but this one blew my mind more than usual. The possibilities are crazy
YOU ARE MY SCIENCE GURU!!! Love you. Glad/hope you are doing well. Please give us an update on how you’re feeling.
In the Amazon #1 Hit Book series "Wool", "Shift" and "Dust" the ultimate end of humanity were these Nano Bots. To survive men created these massive underground "Silos" that are made mostly of concrete and rebar that each of the Silo's run over 2 Miles deep into the ground and has a population of 10K people. Apple TV has adapted the books into a Television Series called "Silo" and it's a damn good show worth watching. In the Silo world there are both Good Nano Bots and Bad Nano Bots. The good ones do like Curious Droid talks about but the bad ones will kill a man/woman no different than if they are exposed to Poison gas. The idea of Bad Nano Bots is terrifying and isn't brought up when talking about the technology. To quote Jeff Goldblum from Jurassic Park *“Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.”*
It’s about time! I’ve been waiting thirty years.
Splendid Droid! Thanks again.
Late 90’s early 00’s, I remember seeing patents for nano bots, motors and wide array of things. It was said to take over. Fast forward 10-15 years. And we see them in movies. Terminator 4, Transformers 4, spider man 4, and iron mans final suit in Infiniti wars, which i think is the 4th time iron man has been on screen as well. Some irony and coincidence
This is a scary prospect, especially if misused for destructive purposes.
I'd love to know more about he Biological Robots that were shown a while back, how far have they come since then?
look up covid vax under electron microscope
No it's not. There's a limit to how small something can get before we can't power it anymore, or that it doesn't have any sufficient complexity to do anything.
@@fuzzywzhe
I think you missed the biological part.
@@Draliseth Whatever. UA-cam used to be great, but anybody that was actually correct, or knowledgeable, or truthful has LONG been driven off from it.
Believe whatever nonsense you like. Who cares?
@@fuzzywzhe
🙄 K buddy.
3:07 start
Great video, Paul...👍
Great video!
Thank you.
Keep up the great work
Thank You Paul, great video.
@10:07
Look at him go! I’m so proud of the lil guy
My fear for nanotechnology is not that it will gain sentience like in Star Trek or Dr Who, or that it will intentionally be used as a weapon. My fear is more that someone will accidentally unleash a prefect nano disease. One that will replicate by itself forever, and cannot be stopped by the normal anti-biotic or anti-viral drugs. Maybe it will even be intended to help humanity, by say delivering a cure for a genetic disease or cancer.
Which is why any new medical technology undergoes extensive testing before it's ever tested on a human. Unless the developers are called pfizer
Why do Americans think real life is comic book movies? You can't see anything without trippin about heckin star treck, heckin iron man. Jesus
@@thecafcl8409I love that you are “confident” in your powers of assumption to conclude the comment came from an American. While you may be correct it seems to me one making such an assumption should be careful about being judgmental of others.
@@Primus54 c'mon. Americans are the only ones who act that goofy.
What a great peek into the world of nanobots and machines. Thank you, Paul.
That was an excellent article, thank you.
Great content and presentation.
Always a pleasure. Thanks. 😎
10:00 That's incredible!..So cool
That Historic Mail thing is really cool, love it.
First time I watched the "commercial"...! And I'm buying! Thanks...
Whilst you are on the subject of nano-objects, would it be possible to make a video about the progress of microchips? They are down to three nanometres at present and decreasing. the goal is to make one the size of an atom.
They are so vital to Wester technology that the company that makes them is on a worldwide list of manufacturers that must not be allowed to fail, at all costs.
That's for another great presentation.
This video was not only good news, it was well done and enjoyable.
Was it all good news? This tech can equally be used for the most insidious warfare imaginable and I guarantee the DOD is looking into it. I'll bet my whole life savings they are looking at ways to use this to hurt people.
Nanobots itself are not going to be issue, but ai controlling them has its dangers. Its 50/50 if it is a threat or a strength for us
David, I'm a big fan and always look forward to your videos, but the title of this one is scraping the barrel a bit, isn't it? I would have loved to see you give your usual intelligent, informed and balanced analysis about the existential risks of nanotechnology compared to the risks of AI, but you don't even go anywhere near the subject. As good as this video is insofar as it goes, I do hope there is a part two. D minus!
No no, I am David, he is Paul. But, yes, I got to the end too and thought, "Did I miss something?" I was expecting to see some 'advanced' developments in the medical world. But there was nothing that stood out. It was like 10 years have gone by and it's still the same. There was no indication of how much it cost's to make some nanobot to 'do circles'. Obviously there is more benefit from the genetic engineering that leading research facilities are able to do, with more 'bang for their investment bucks' than what nanobots are able to achieve, dare I say, at this stage. Maybe there will be some 'break-through' soon, like what 3D printed rocket engines are doing for Space Rockets?
I hope to watch Paul cover this again in say 5 more years. Maybe then , he can get an A+ 😉
That Picture At The End Is Amassing lol
Another interesting video. Thankyou for all your work. I'd have little chance of understanding what goes on without these videos. Cheers.
this is fantastic stuff
When I watch technology video, I always feel I was born 50 years too early. When I watch history video, I always feel I was born 50 to millions years too late.
the Borg are coming ;) can you please make a video about how they are making those tiny things like the ones in the watch and them at 7:42
this is so interesting i think
Techno Varys drops some knowledge
Hi Paul, I'm Carlos from México city ! Merry christmass !! Love your channel!!! When can you explain in a chapter whats inside the Mobil launch platform from nasa's Apollo or sls Rocket?? How does the umbilical tower arms moved and when , where or what commands those accions ???
Thank you very much.
The motor @10:10 min which is activated with light - Can this motor detect the phase angle of photons?
Michael Crichton wrote a excelent novel on this call "PREY"
I'm ready to be a cyborg right now where do i sign.
We already have nanobots everywhere: bacteria, fungi and archae are all nanobots. Even animals are just a bunch of nanobots working together.
Nanobots are probably the one threat that life is most prepared to deal with because it's been evolving to compete with hostile nanobots for billions of years.
Yes, it's true that external coordination has the potential to give artificial nanobots extra abilities. But that's no longer the threat of the bots just going rogue and is now the same concern raised by other powerful technologies we control like nuclear weapons or the ability to create biological weapons: someone could choose to use them to do bad things. And that doesn't really increase our risk any further (mad scientists intent on destruction can already create really nasty fatal diseases).
It's better thought about from the lens of biosecurity
You -> “Ummm, actually 🤓”
You definition of a nanobot is very flawed.
Fauna & Flora have cells. Living tissue. And they react to pain, light, temperature, chemicals and hormones etc.
How you can 'lump' them together, is a total disgrace, to millions of years of evolution. Cells are far more complex than any man made nanobot will ever be. Scientists may be able to 'mimic' a cell, but they will never supersede it, until they have spent thousands of years and $billion's evolving their craft. Cheaper and faster to genetically modify cells. Nanobots will only ever be a simple tool for specialised medical conditions. In my opinion.
My inner Luddite is gravely disturbed by the prospect of nano bots in my bloodstream. Stop the world please as I wish to get off. 😮
"My arteries need nanobo... HURKK!" 💀
Powering the nanobots and having them deal with "real world" impurities and situations for which they're not designed causes me to conclude that the idea of a "grey goo" apocalypse is nothing to worry about. I don't think we'll get self-replicating nano machines that are much smaller than the smallest bacteria. So we should be able to deal with them in the normal ways.
What if we used these nanobots to make AI better? This is a serious proposal developed by people like Drexler and Merkle where the calculated efficiency was many orders of magnitude greater than our current hardware. Of course, this proposal needs the computation to be completely reversible, and this is probably a horrendously difficult engineering challenge, but we can combine AI with nanotechnology.
We already have nanobots. They're everywhere: Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Protista, and Fungi.
As a guy of grandpa age, I didn’t hear about the great filter in school.
Now I’m not sure if I will escape it during my lifetime.
That is very cool
Nanomachines, son!
The Silo book series (Silo series on ATV+) is based on a nano apocalypse.
Couple nanobots with AI and we'll have that grey goo that will take over all life on Earth! OK, I submit to my grey goo masters...,
Finally. What took so long.
Does each have a little rehargeable battery and comms device?
I find the whole concept terrifying.
I feel like this channel is becomming more about sponsorships than science and engineering. Nearly 1/4 of this video is the message from the sponsor.
Blame You Tube!
Don't make out Paul is doing us a dis-service, when it's well known that those having their own channel, have received less and less income, for the same service, in the last, say, 5 years. He is not the only channel that has had to resort to sponsors to 'keep from drowning' on You Tube's platform.
@@David-yo5ws my problem isn't that he has sponsors. As you said they are neccecary to on modern youtube. My problem is that the sponsor message is takeing a quarter of the film and its not a first time. It start looking to me as if the video is an after though or an adition to the sponsor message.
@@anonimanonim9352 Let's hope Paul has a better presentation on the next video. This was not really up to his usual high standard for sure. Unlike his Cavity Magnetron (1.2 million views) this one has 49k views so far.
May 'see' you on the next one. Kiwi David.
Ooooh you changed the outcome of the race by observing it!
When I saw the rate gyros in car airbags and Segways..
What exactly would you make the manipulators out of for a nanobot that can rearrange matter at the scale of individual atoms? It would have to have a tip small enough to grasp individual atoms, which would mean being no more than a few atoms itself. How do you bind those atoms together more tightly than the bonds holding together the atoms of the matter you're trying to rearrange? For that matter, how would you power a nanobot outside of a laboratory environment, and what would keep the swarm of natural micromachines it would find itself surrounded by out in the wild from attacking and destroying it?
The Luddites were members of a 19th-century movement of English textile workers which opposed the use of certain types of cost-saving machinery, often by destroying the machines in clandestine raids. They protested against manufacturers who used machines in "a fraudulent and deceitful manner" to replace the skilled labour of workers and drive down wages by producing inferior goods.[1][2] Members of the group referred to themselves as Luddites, self-described followers of "Ned Ludd", a legendary weaver whose name was used as a pseudonym in threatening letters to mill owners and government officials.[3]
The Luddite movement began in Nottingham, England, and spread to the North West and Yorkshire between 1811 and 1816.[4] Mill and factory owners took to shooting protesters and eventually the movement was suppressed with legal and military force, which included execution and penal transportation of accused and convicted Luddites.[5]
Over time, the term has been used to refer to those opposed to industrialisation, automation, computerisation, or new technologies in general
interesting video. i would never click this title if i didn't know the channel though.
Keep your ion the future!
Nanobot: a description of how small a scientist feels when history remembers them only in the form of "and 2 collaborators" against someone else winning a Nobel prize 🤣
Nanotechnology will not be something to worry about for a long time, and may be functionally impossible to produce. Once you get down to the molecular level you can't make a computer or control module of any sort out of just a few molecules, let alone have it self replicate.
Historic mail seems pretty interesting
I used to love the character Nana the dog in Peter Pan. The idea of her being replaced by a robot is very sad.
Remember after WWII when everyone decided eugenics and cloning WASNT a good idea so we stopped? Why did we decide artificial life is okay?
Why one or the other? Why not a double whammy of 'uh-oh, we messed up'?
nanobots with AI - the perfect storm
Nanobots mean grey goo is certain to follow. The only questions are when and how efficient it will be.
11:26 Anyone else remember Fantastic Voyage (1966)?
I wonder how small can a gyroscope ( for navigation ) be ?
10:39 lika thermometer ,maybe!
The Borg have entered the chat.......................
bruh those nano bots are already here and inside us, they are called microbes. leftover from cyborg wars probably
Potentially scary stuff
Do you want Borg? 'cause this is how you get Borg!!
That's why I always found it very suspect that higher culture never ended up eating themselves with the exception of one of the characters in The Void Trilogy.
I mean, having molecular control of your body? Too crazy for me
If all the atoms are properly in place, the body simply continues, indefinitely.
Our bodies already have molecular control over themselves due to being made of self-replicating molecules (cells, proteins, DNA, RNA, etc), and the amount of safeguards needed for this to function is even more than you'd think, and you might already think a lot is needed! I suggest looking into the immune system, and all the ways the immune system can 'eat itself'. Auto-immune disorders are terrifying. It's likely nanomachines will require just as many safeguards, with just as many ways for things to go wrong.
Has this man EVER worn the same shirt twice?
NanoMachines exist in nature at the cellular level
It does seem the perfect pair
Nanomachines SON!!
