  • Dr. Wade Adams is the Director of the Smalley Institute for Nanoscale Science and Technology at Rice University. The Institute is devoted to the development of new innovations on the nanometer scale. Some of the institute's current thrusts include research in carbon nanotubes, medical applications of nanoparticles, nanoporous membranes, molecular computing, and nanoshell diagnostic and therapeutic applications.
    Wade was appointed a senior scientist (ST) in the Materials Directorate of the Wright Laboratory in 1995. Prior to that he was a research leader and in-house research scientist in the directorate. For the past 36 years he has conducted research in polymer physics, concentrating on structure-property relations in high-performance organic materials. He is internationally known for his research in high-performance rigid-rod polymer fibers, X-ray scattering studies of fibers and liquid crystalline films, polymer dispersed liquid crystals, and theoretical studies of ultimate polymer properties.

    Outstanding explanation of what Nanotechnology is; why we need to develop it and WHY we as adults need to help kids turn ON to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics or STEM. Educators always have an acronym, so I guess its Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics! Thank you Dr. Wade Adams.

    Watch from 16:55 to 17:45, He says if we cover our planet with that much space of solar panels, we would have more than enough energy. Why don't we put the panels on the dessert. Almost a third of Earth is desert, then we would have more energy that we can imagine.

  • @andyrooney12
    @andyrooney12 Před 12 lety

    One of the biggest applications of nano-technology will be for paralyzed people. Think about it. There are only a few million paralyzed people in the entire USA but, while there aren't that many SCI (Spinal Cord Injury) cases, people get paralyzed EVERY YEAR! Unfortunately, even as we get advanced, unless we develop some unbreakable titanium spinal cords, people will always get into some sort of accidents every year in the future & nanotechnology will continue to be an effective tool.

  • @stephenlangsl67
    @stephenlangsl67 Před 11 lety

    The answer to that problem is actually Stem Cell Research.The problem with what Youre talking about is the batteries weraring out.Let's not have "band aid"so-called" Cures". Of course You would probably respond to this with a meaninless insult that has nothing to do with Nanotech or Biology.Probably some meainingless insult joke about My Mother.
