The strange new world of Nanoscience, narrated by Stephen Fry

[@DarkEbony89]

Let me say that I totally geeked out on this film. I'm 23, but this film took me back to 6th grade; totally excited about science and the world. Steven Fry is a great narrator, and this is a fascinating subject!

[@Bionic_Barry]

Little Willie took a drink. He lived to take no more. For what he thought was H2O was H2SO4.

[@MrsSarb]

This is so cool. I used to work in a nanolab like this. I miss that job so much. It was wonderful going to work everyday and learning about all the new science.

[@Oyagabo]

i'm getting the feeling that this narrator is the same one from little big planet...

[@simplythemediocre]

I just got shivers, partially because of the awesomeness of nanotech, and partially because of Stephen Fry's silken voice.

[@aarondungey8787]

awesome, but with that last bit, would you really want to feel the emotions of your hormonal teenage son?

[@shockwave9000]

Additional Stephen Fry love here! I am very excited for the potential of nanotechnology, but also respect the dangers of it...

[@Lilll3]

chemistry and stephen fry... This video is the best thing ever !

[@husnain_bukhari]

Fantastic...IA one day I'll study in Cambridge.

[@Brijtyphoon]

Stephen fry is the best presenter ever!!!!!

[@Baoch]

Stephen Fry is just amazing

[@splungedude]

great video, Stephen Fry is the best narrator around!

[@Queuebee]

thank you mister Stephen Fry! Very educative!

[@Grzesiekarator]

I would usually stop half-way through because I don't enjoy documientaries that are longer than about 8-10 minutes, but damn this was really interesting. Loved it.

[@miawells55]

Great introduction to nanoscience.

[@myildizau]

Very well narrated, great content and motivating....highly recommended.

[@AndrewJKing]

10:30 - Dr. Ingrid Graz! PUT ON YOUR SAFETY GOGGLES!

[@Baoch]

Great video! So interesting! Fry is the perfect narrator

[@gmpsyche]

witty, and informative in a never-boring atmosphere. :D

[@MissTheSnail]

3:27 - 4:02 Was My Science Teacher, Aww Dr. Cooper!!

[@macclift9956]

Lovely narrator :) Thank you Mr Fry!

[@danteslasher]

Because you need to adapt to the vocabulary used in Shakespeare and that would definitely take a while. And I don't know about so much... probably got a really fluffy summary about certain aspects of Nanotechnology. It's a good video to be sure but in order to understand and implement anything fully takes time and discipline. I can't imagine the people in the video know what they know after watching something on a 20 minute video.

[@FEFuryguy]

@Indiecrafter Seriously, would love to know what song that is.

[@MS--]

2:03 Equipment used is Zeiss LEO 1530 Gemini FEG-SEM and costs as low as a sweet beachside condo with pool!

[@threxel]

That was fascinating and insightful. Looking forward to the nanoage.

[@Alice-lb3bq]

absolutely delightful!! Think nano.

[@CobaltBlueLion]

This movie just goes to show that we stand to see possibly the biggest revolution in science and technology ever. This scares and excites me.

[@lucile1010]

hey I love that filer-bottle thingy! is so cool! amazing science.

[@Tendoking]

That is very cool. Quite fascinating. I didn't know you could hear atoms...

[@freakshow1997]

excellent film. I have a Ph D in nanotech myself; some remarks: the AFM tip engineering is probably never going to happen since the manipulation of single atoms just isnt quick enough. also, the (spontaneous) self assembly of smaller bits into a larger structure is much better done by nature than by man. It turns out to be exceedingly tricky. We can, for example, not reproduce the self assembly of the simplest virus by synthetic means.

[@ubitcumajkemi]

03:17 "i am putting some sugar in water... let's bring out the good old protective glasses."

[@MasonAMcLeod]

Incredible. "Science rules!"- William Sanford Nye.

[@SunAndMirror]

How is it that i learn so much about nanotechnology in a 20 minute video, and yet they make us spend weeks and weeks on things like Shakespeare in school? The internet is a much better and efficient teacher than ANY of my school teachers are.

[@11889music]

Dubstep outro ftw. I envisioned Mr. Fry dancing to it.

[@master1140]

Very good video!:D Extremely interesting!

[@Indiecrafter]

Great video, Fry's narration was awesome in it. However, what is the name of that song at the end credits?

[@gammypoofle]

Nice video. The end credits say an "Aaron Horn" made the music, but I can't find a direct reference to this. However "peaceloveaudio" ("Aaron Audio") on myspace seems to be the same person (based on the name and musical style)..

[@rico-s3752]

Every time i hear the voice of Stephen Fry, it seems to me is telling about a new "Little Big Planet"

[@wowzagh]

this is my homework

[@AlbertoMarioStriedingerPinilla]

I have a question, Can you then attached some fluid or susbtance layer to an airfoil to attached the air flow once it passes on it, hence keeping it as laminar as possible ? That has an application I owuld very much like to know and explore..

[@isarandra7599]

Thanks for the video, i really like it a lot.

[@ThomerRS]

Nano technology, Stephen Fry, and Lego ftw :P

[@Antilli]

And all this was supposed to have evolved by "chance".. Right.... Anyway, very great video. The amount of details and complexity in this is inconceivable. The world around us clearly isn't what most of us believe.

[@mirtleturtleful]

@niall777 The tone at the end seems to suggest it is kids programming. At least like middle school to high school kids.

[@MeDammitt]

can't get here soon enough. Go science.

[@MeBardo]

Brilliant. Love it.

[@darnoc001]

Imagine using molecular-structures or Atoms as our running software or machines? Imagine what you an do with that type of advancement of technology? If a person can think of this, and we can already MOVE ATOMS piece by piece (very expensive process). Imagine what technologial possibilities we can do. Turning our computer into a rubber band. The possibilites you can do.

[@physicsandreason]

Helps to better understand the significance of all that nano-thermite the independent physicists found in the WTC dust. Ordinary thermite is just an incendiary, but Nano-thermite is a high tech military explosive invented just a few years before 9/11. It could have been easily applied as a sol-gel with workers perhaps not even knowing what was in their paint. Regardless of how it got there one thing is certain; that nano-thermite found in the dust, did not come from a cave in Afghanistan.

[@iwillflagurvids]

MGS4 explains another use of nanotechnology quite well.

[@kate5134]

NaNo Art would be cool to see!

[@everybodyisnuts]

What is the level beyond the nano?

[@tekqist28]

I love you Stephen!!

[@lusaka99]

nanotechnology will change the world in a way never thought possible everything will be in abundance

[@mohitpawar10]

excellent video @@@@@!!!!!

[@MrKohlenstoff]

@WalkingOnFire1 Certainly, but only if you use the new NanoBlendTec

[@allenhai03]

IM SO GRATEFUL TO GOD FOR HAVING ALLOWED ME TO WITNESS THIS PEAK IN TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENT! I WANNA CONTRIBUTE AS BEST I CAN!

[@InterbredRollmops]

@Innomen You do know that he isn't using an optical microscope, right? Super lenses let the optical microscopes overcome a limit that doesn't exist with electron microscopes, the diffraction limit. So they would not help in any way. The reason we cant see anything smaller is that electrons have the smallest wavelenght we know of, yet so "Ever" is probably untrue as we might find something smaller later on. But not with super lenses.

[@Mirccc1]

Nice video!

[@zombiemouse]

OMG all I can think of is little sackboy smiling when I watch this XD

[@WhiteNowa1]

what is the name of the dubstep outro ? o.O ?

[@SheDMontford]

Yes but what if, via our natural nano-mechanisms, we are already infinitely connected???

[@machahensem3327]

Nice one....

[@bemanos12345]

outstanding!!!!

[@PhilboAE71]

Anyone know what the film technique is called at 15:48?

[@KizzKez]

that was really helpful, thumbs up :)

[@Isoceth]

@g1nach4ng Surgeons are always addressed as Misters not Doctors. Some tradition thing.

[@spikeydapikey1483]

Very intresting, but if misused, very,very scary !

[@sopi2]

Incredible! What have science done? :D The example with the cell phones in our brains.. technological nirvana.

[@winston2015]

Certainly some might not. But others certainly will. Many of which we cannot even fathom the possibilities of today. At the very same time the Wright brothers were designing and testing their airplane, there were a whole host of scientists and physicists writing books explaining how and why manned flight would never come to pass; given the laws of nature, it would be a physical impossibility. Being bicycle mechanics, Wilbur & Orville didn't read those books..the rest is, as they say, history.

[@freakshow1997]

However, one thing that WILL be revolutionary is true drug targeting. Imagine a small protein sphere (30 nm) that is not attacked by the human defense systems and contains heavily radioactive material (for example). Equipping the outer surface of this protein with recognition receptors will lead the material (in your body) towards e.g. cancer cells and bombard those. True antiviral medication could be possible in this way as well.

[@TopSetUK]

Please, don't squirt butterflies!

[@MooTaters]

My problem is what about nano tech used for bad, what about those who would want to weaponize it and use it to cause harm. It is a wonderful new...well I guess old world to explore(but one we haven't explored until now), I just hope no one ever helps anyone to use it for the wrong purposes.

[@Kisuul]

Please... Don't squirt butterflies.

[@xTRVLNMANx]

I doubt us humans will ever stop advancing; that has always been our nature. Theres still plenty of things to unfold; but some or most we will never understand...

[@yonghengwang3603]

We are not able to control neuron/ cells to generate signal to dial that little mobile phone, we can train muscle

[@roarmaster2]

I can't wait for the future

[@g1nach4ng]

The brain surgeon is introduced as MR Stephen Price. Glad to know you don't need an MD to wear scrubs.

[@cliffetop4603]

whats the music?

[@iwillflagurvids]

Nanotechnology, awesome!

[@ianinvancouverbc]

Why does Stephen's voice give me the urge to go hitchiking with my sub-etha net device and a towel ?

[@Era1014]

"...the smallest thing you can ever see with a microscope..." < not true. Only the darkside deals in absolutes.

[@Altaranalt]

Now 'thats' awesome!

[@TehNewV]

@Antilli Maybe not humans, that could be due to alien visits, magic mushrooms, and/or that theory we're originally from mars. All three explain the complexity and size of the human brain.

[@TehNewV]

Things act differently on the nanoscale due to various things,, gravity, quantum mechanics, casimir forces, the list goes on.

[@joncl1]

badass DnB at the end...

[@Zoza15]

So in short, you take all the molecules structures from an object that makes a certant effect and manipulate it into other objective structures..

[@duke0302]

@Solomon1084 i know right! and to think there are people out there who want to LIMIT science.

[@Flybet3]

This may sound pessimistic but it was prophetized ...In the last days cience shall be abundant, is it that time now?

[@Bella329]

amazing.

[@Godistinhyeuthuong1984]

It’s just too cool

[@benzzay2]

Anyone recognize that guy at 03:54 sitting bored in the back?

[@Xjak]

Amazing, I Love Science to no end. It just baffles me that people in the world are currently worried about such petty things like religion when they could be a part of the technological world and help speed up and create new things.

[@TEAMPNUS]

"Smallest thing you will ever be able to see with any microscope"? I don't think so

[@cmonconan]

Wow that Lego guy is sturdy, just saying. Nano lego anyone? I would buy.

[@lexsite]

Am i the only one uneasy with the idea of a marriage between cellphone and our brain? Will there be a silent mode? ;-)

[@TheRock536]

@blackalbino360 dude its not the way teachers teach.. its the way you hear them and the the amount of interest you have in the subject that is to be taught.. look, Im from India, here the problems i and any other student faces is usually because of pattern of the syllabi we have but we mostly blame the teacher for not teaching well.. my advice fro you is if you wanna really help the future students like you then you can get into the educational system and change it & justify it!

[@iamthedeus]

goddamn i love the sound of stephen fry's voice

[@1993gtx]

I think this "age" would be our last.

[@bemanos12345]

nice

[@noodleboii2669]

metalllll, i love it
