Nanotechnology: Moving Beyond Small Thinking, Chad Mirkin, Northwestern University

Oh geez. This is gold.

[@oker59]

the rest of this video is a real eye-opener. I know that I just follow nanotechnology by what they give me on general science news sites. I don't go around asking nanotechnologists what else is out there; but, I've also thought, "you know they're doing all kinds of things." This video confirms that! I'm watching this many months after uploading.

This video suggests to me that dip-pen nanotechnology can bootstrap to Feynman/Drexlerian nanomanufacturing. He tends to get disquieted when even approaching such a possibility.

Wow, in the first 3:48, up to the point where he introduces Chad Mirkin, He said aaahh 58 times and duh once. hahaha, yes I have to much time on my hands.

nanomanufacturing did not come about because of science fiction; Richard Feynman just decided to see what was possible technologicaly; he didn't take to it for some mysterious reason. Eric Drexler thought of it himself and championed it; he didn't get it from sci-fi; he got it from reading biotech in science journals.

[@DScottWhitaker]

He sure does dude, ha ha! I have way to much time to on MY hands to see if I come up as the same count as you LOL

[@oker59]

I don't agree with this guys putting molecular electronics alongside cold fusion, superconductivity, and artificial leaf; these are in a different category(no, I didn't mean category theory) from cold fusion.

Please top saying aah, ahh, and ahhh. Its anoying after awhile.
