Nano, the Next Dimension

Nanosciences and nanotechnologies represent a formidable challenge for the research community and industry. World-class infrastructure, new fundamental knowledge, novel equipment for characterisation and manufacturing, multi-disciplinary education and training for innovative and creative engineering, and a responsible attitude to societal demands are required.
This documentary film provides a glimpse of some of the many activities that are being carried out in Europe in these fast-growing fields of research and technological development.

[@Krisfabris90]

The narrator seems like she wants to hypnotise us and make us join a secret sort of underground creed...

[@mkaatr]

When I see what these people have been doing, I feel I know NOTHING... This is amazing stuff. Thanks for uploading.

[@TraverseDavies]

The irony of the Mormon ads showing up on this video is awesome.

[@djhaig]

Fantastic. I hope people will use this tech. responsiblely:)

[@lee155912000]

There are people too worried about the next celebrity scandal, people like me are too lazy to go out and study, and others just want to get rich. Then theres the .0001% of us who want and do pursue things like this. I wish I was born 50 years from now, so i wouldn't have to wait to see this amazing tech.

[@neongecko06]

If anybody's interested, the music from 0:50 on is "Aquarium" from Saint-Saëns's "Carnival of the Animals".

[@sledgehog1]

Music at 00:50 is Camille Saint-Saens' Aquarium, and at 8:49 is the Finale from the Carnival of the Animals, from the same composer.

[@RobBob555]

aye yer wee documentary video hingy wiz barry, cheers chav.

[@ClemonsKunkel]

Love the video. Nanotech is changing the world. We are on the road to newer discovery. This was a awesome video. Science is to Cool.

[@WormholeJim]

Nanotech is what will allow us to become both what Michio Kaku calls a "type 1 civilization" and a "type 2 civilization". It is going to revolutionize engineering the same way personal computers revolutionized our way of communication. Only tens of times more so.

[@shinobi6622]

Whoever did the sound editing needs to focus on reducing the bass, it's ear shattering on HiFi speakers when at a good listening volume. Otherwise a pretty awesome video. =D

[@angrygreek1985]

I seriously can't wait until nanotechnologies start developing into usable technology for the masses. Nanotech is our future, it's going to tie in with augmentations. Similar to what Michio Kaku said in one of his lectures. It's going to take a long time to create a robot with human intelligence as it is extremely difficult to provide emotions to a computer. But using nanotechnologies will be able to make ourselves - with the gift of a brain already - into everliving bioartifical superhumans

[@surrythrills]

Imagine if Europe didnt have the language barrier... They would have been WAAAAY ahead of the rest of the world (in terms of technology).

[@occultninja4]

i didnt know those carbon tubes where so cunductive, i'd thought they where just a realy tough substance. learned alot from this.

[@Fallon144]

this is much more interesting than science fiction

[@FreeInternetDownload]

Great information on where nanotech is going. Everything is going smaller, faster, better!

[@adrianamorales818]

The part where they say,we don't know where they might go...that,is probably,the electricity,everywhere,which happens to be,the very thing we conduct,by the spirit,in which varies by the will...where Jesus said,where the spirit moves...trying to control that,possibly means,to control the will...I doubt these scientists know or understand the bigger picture...they look at science from below,to above,haven't seen the big picture...but...God sees,from above,to below,all around...I could be wrong,but...nomatter what,he is God...if we,through ignorance,dig ourselves,into loss of will,let it be,it was gods will...had we been concious enough to not stop,but avoid it,I doubt we can stop it,but through complete destruction of civilization,enough to where it can't gain power,the power we give it,by restoring it,hopefully some survive...therefore,we can't stop it,but could have been avoided...makes you wonder what will the outcome be...only God knows what destiny awaits because of where we've got...Jesus said,everything is of God,he didn't say it would be beneficial...

[@locouk]

That film was made 6 years ago, whats the technology like now?

[@as4me]

Great presentation otherwise, absolutely brilliant in detail!

[@ox4poluter]

a big cheer for europe

[@kadster35]

Great video! It made me learn a lot. Thanks.

[@allbetsRoff60]

This is very exciting and extremely interesting information and I have an extreme interest into what is next? My question is; why can't they get rid of all of those wires and chords in the laboratory? This makes me think; no matter how much scientific knowledge is gained there is always a Power that maintains and generates power, don't be fooled.

[@cheekymonkey3929]

I agree. those pesky wires.😀

[@lenahbaidas620]

what do they mean by "The distance between the moon and the earth on the order of a billion meters a days travel.The distance between a meter and a billionth of a meter roughly the same golf but taking just a few seconds.?? Can anyone help please?

[@alchemicalanarchist]

Alchemy is Nanotechnology. The Philosopher Stone is a Room Temp Superconductor made out of Gold.

[@liketheuniverse11]

"You are men, not machines!"

[@BBBWWWVVV]

Awsome, a mormon ad before a vid on Michio Kaku. Ironic, even offensive perhaps. Michio deserves better!

[@DarkRavenhaft]

Aquarium from the Carnival of the Animals by Charles Camille Saint-Saens. I arranged a copy for my school before.

[@RideFaster]

Imagine if we all concentrated on just these kinds of things... how wonderful the world could really be...

[@jackson_mcgrath]

That's exactly what I said to myself when I heard the guy say "We need to stay in the lead" It's a shame we can't just all work together.

[@Sarnarath]

i found this very interesting. the possibilities seem endless.

[@119407738]

excelent tecnologic.

[@masonmcdonald2922]

very interesting

[@Casshern_Sin]

Why is it when watching videos regarding intelligent topics - I always get 240p maximum. Yet I can watch fail vids in 1080p... What a world.

[@kushnjuice]

good god i love the direction where technology is headed, we will see change in a magnitude we cant even comprehend soon... transhuman or transcendent beings!!!!! It's the ultimate flattery to our creator give or take if you believe in that stuff.

[@ruderaxx]

brilliant document, i learned a lot, thanks!

[@Zoza15]

Very interesting documentary!..

[@samsungprin]

Great video, now I am less ignorant than yesterday.

[@snylekkie]

Splendid, that's how it is now.

[@waleedsmz]

You're mainly speaking about incidents from the medieval times... And I can't really see evolution affecting nanosciences... Maybe you're right about the last part but it just proves my point, that science is not being stopped now. You were saying " too many issues are holding us back " in your original comment, they're not actually holding us now... They used to, but now they don't..

[@DancingSpiderman]

@drewschkelton The concept of valence electrons still holds. When you look at a photo of a single Uranium atom from the POV of an electron microscope; that fuzzy cloud is the visual probabilistic loci of valence electrons. The overall shape of that electron cloud does NOT look like one or more rings of Saturn, nor does it resemble anything near what one would see if these electrons were revolving around their nucleus. Academia chose a lousy model to teach grade school students, yet they knew.

[@enlistedingodsarmy]

amazing

[@TimLippert]

interesting to me to read these comments and see how often people just bash each other, call names and act like assholes themselves while at the same time they think they know everything better. If the people who are researching nanotechnology acted like you...we would never acheive anything.

[@MrEtronic]

i admit that till now Europe has been leading in research in all sections of development since the stone ages but instead of prefferin self assembly we could use more effective construction techniques by creating assembly blocks like print blocks in printing presses assembling CNTs layer by layer in order to prevent an evet senario of a biological hazard

[@cobratattoos_]

What I don´t get is, if there are structures that can self-assemble spontaneously, then can´t it dissasmble spontaneously as well?

[@Posco902]

Imagine nanotechnology + Stem Cells = awesome

[@fatalcleric]

My approach is: With the ability to project electricity and change its shape using field dynamics, this makes all nano technology void. I guess they should have thought of that, but unfortunately governments do this for them first.

[@2YinYang2]

very interesting, thank you

[@milune11]

are these new matters will be ecologically livable or bringing a bigger problem to get rid of .When we research we should now think of the aspect of ecology also.this is my question???

[@circusboy90210]

how do we group these instruements into a mutliple device like a print head & make a machine that make s other artifacts

[@brightingsky2009]

This stuff is realy the future!

[@questionsleadtotruth]

Incredible to say the least.

[@Maarttttt]

What are the dimensions of nano?

[@Abdulmajeed1414]

Ironically, the video is only 240p in resolution!

[@soulofjimi]

i would argue that nano is about the same size as the universe and very useful.. The transfer of electrons through quantum superposition, look like what I picture M theory looking like.

[@gdsingh999]

Amazing world of Nature, and it is fathomless, but not untouchable by human brain, which is it self has amazing capacity.

[@John94098]

You got the idea my friend.

[@poem-bw1ii]

lol the guy who speaks french looks like my ice-cream man

[@GoReRoTTedDeAtH]

Im speechless !

[@InfuserGod]

That's phenomenal!! =D

[@maztakeef420]

if this was made 7 years ago, god knows what kind of progress theyve made since then... majority of that progress will probably b kept under wraps though

[@hemoglobbin]

It's not like that has something to do with nano tech, this film is made for TV and it's 11 years old.

[@Coupedude1976]

Nice docu

[@tarohoa]

i just got inspired to study nanotechnology

[@maztakeef420]

excellence is the modest cousin of perfection...

[@ColdBoi]

Does this remind you of StarGate SG1 Replicators?

[@EbClectic]

Neal Stephenson was right in "The Diamond Age". Amazing.

[@potatoboi88]

woa 6 years ago!? dang and im learning about this NOW?! hehe

[@deandempsey2193]

If I could study more online on this that would be great. This is the way of the future .I play around with coatings. Any help would be great

[@damienosmund]

Whats the name of the Classical music in the background?

[@YeahMF]

Switch it on and make it go! Just be sure to put it in a box first ;)

[@fuunguus]

Personally I think using biological cells to build nano robots and structures would be the easiest and best way to self-assemble nano "things". Cells in our body build all the components in our body. Our body is nothing more than a gigantic bunch of factories, and DNA is only a gigantic recipe for thousands of proteins and enzymes. Together they all assemble our cells (factories) which make up our body.

[@komaki119]

cant we make a manufacturing bot that is self replicating and then program it to replicate it self 1000X smaller. and repeat this process until we get close enough to construct on the nano scale? what would stop that working?

[@mkaatr]

What is the name of the classic music at 0:50 ?

[@DancingSpiderman]

@venturec Yeah... if you go to Google Videos, there is an 1.5+hour long video, called Energie Gratis (I forget whether it is part 1 or part 5 , but all parts are EXCELLENT) where Tom Bearden sketches as he discusses the actual nucleus-scale POV of how electrons come into and out of existence about the nucleus of an atom. There is a book "The Dancing Wu Li Masters" where an entire chapter is dedicated to the discussion of how the nuclear particles wink in-&-out of existence. No revolving -e's.

[@luisaalessandra]

the truth is, nobody has been able to make anything useful up to now, because nobody is able to control the properties at this scale. this movie is more about improving the techniques, nothing that can be used at macroscopic scale.

[@rtsjoe]

Why has there recentely been such an interest in nano tech in europe?

[@archanshah]

thats good question.... i wish author gives answer for this...

[@myToolisBigger]

@strike742 It is called human ingenuity for a reason.

[@PsychoRaptor117]

@kght222 1 billionth of a nanometer would called an attometer, using the SI system for a "short" billion. But no, there aren't really any structures at that kind of scale, it doesn't really make sense to ask what the "size" of something like a quark is.

[@TheQwertyuiop357]

We're quite a while away from self-replicating technology. I wouldn't worry too much. :)

[@744268]

freakin awesome!

[@xbr123]

i feel the time will come, when humans will have to unite, or in truth to rediscover that there never were competitors.

[@edders]

starting at :52 , the music sounds exactly like something from Danny Elfman, in the movie Edward Scissor hands

[@bigdaddymatta]

by trying to spontaniously construct an object on spontanuity is a great idea but quantum physics was founded on the idea or fact that when there is an observer spontantinuity does not occor because basically by observeing you form a reality or pattern of what will happen therefore it is no longer spontainious...

[@marzfx1]

Whers that crazy song from?? Edward scisor hands ?home alone arrrgh anyone know??

[@juanromero4446]

I love it

[@MonSwon]

@mkaatr ye they make some mind blowing anouncement and you realised that they'v been up to alsorts.

[@GreatestPotential]

nothing appears fixed in quantum physics so objects such as atoms may dance about slide through grooves disapear into electrical fields and while in movement size and structure can alter to fit dimensional tunneling effect "nano tube variance"{ example} visible mapping application. interesting how nano tubes react to conductor tactile positioning (contact components) when random "chance" factoring is an expected common known element.

[@orritomasson]

The background music from 18:45 to 19:15 sounds very similar to the very beginning (prologue) of Disney's Beauty and the Beast. (it is not the same though, I checked).

[@Jayc2400]

At 22:32 to 22:48 He was talking about Femtoseconds 10 minus 15 seconds is a big time difference. Example: a femtosecond is to a second, what a second is to about 31.7 million years.

[@MedoKojiZiviOvde]

lol Electron must move under external force good one!! what about internal energy? As long as something moves it has energy...

[@mkaatr]

@sexpen Thank you very much sir. I really appreciate it. Have a wonderful day.

[@catscanmeow]

soon technology will be so good, there wont be a language barrier/

[@lemsta123]

All I want to know is when its coming out to the public and when are we getting super powers !?

[@GoTeamScotch]

I will believe in the future of nanotech once the war for video resolution in conquered

[@LanteanKnight]

Yes I agree, but I don't think we will speak the same language in any time soon, because few people would be willing to sacrifice their own language as well as their culture. We could just stick to our own languages and have English taught as our second language from our childhood so that we could speak it as well as our own language. That'd be a start. But you're forgetting about China and Japan and South-Korea. They have stam cell technology. =D

[@lenardlenny8176]

jeez dudes what are u saing i dont know i am 10-th grade :D yea por education but can u tell me more thats really awesome and interesting thing PLZ ! U said u are mechanical engineer so I assume u are adult and i know u dont have time for this but if u just feel like it (coz i am really bad at this (alchemy and physics)) can u tell me more ^ ^ I'd appreciate it sir!

[@matttatts]

The government and corporations are the problem not the faith in the spiritual.

[@soulofjimi]

no, quantum states allow to take steel completely out of the picture..

[@ipewannasay]

does that mean we can make a weapon that's sharper than damask sword now? :O

[@narutonande]

could nanotechnology help clean radiation spills ??

[@merennon]

Yes.

[@rewiringatiwhatuatuuwharea1596]
