- We discuss Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov's winning of the 2010 Nobel Prize in physics from work on graphene. More physics at www.sixtysymbols.com/
With Laurence Eaves - Věda a technologie
"Mine hasn't stuck. . . so I wouldn't get a nobel prize for that."
Funniest line ever on youtube! :)
false! :)
His hair should win a Nobel prize
you guys are good at making videos. All the interviews are good and the editing is awesome together
This playlist is golden! Deserves a prize on its own.
I was looking forward to this! Now awaiting chemistry prize and subsequent video.
What I find more amazing is how gracious these two scientists are of the Nobel prize winners.
Scientific research can be highly competitive and winning the Nobel prize, for some scientists, is probably a huge accolade.
The video quality of this recording is outstanding, even at 360p.
Nothing more heartbreaking than losing a cup-of-tea! :D
Thanks for the explanations!
I'd love to see Professor Eaves' thoughts on graphene's future, not only what technologies are emerging from it and what we can expect to use it for, but how soon we might see it replacing silicon and getting on with fulfilling some of that promise.
Yet another good video. Even when you tell us about the Nobel Prize you teach us something cool.
The Professor in sixtysymbols! Awesome!
great video thanks
I couldn't help noticing the period table tie. Nerdiness to the limit!
I just heard about it in the news. Congrats to the winners.
@pepsibookcat
Hi pepsibookcat - re yr comment on periodic about the ignobel prize - do you know of any links to info or vids on this?
Was it by any chance levitating a frog...?
Greatly appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction....
Cheers,
J :)
could you hit the graphene sheet with resonant frequencies to pill it up onto itself and form ball structures such as buckyballs? was just thinking of that in the shower. i love resonance.
how do you change the hardness of the pencil lead?
like HB B2 B3...
A pencil lead is actually a mix of graphite and clay. The more clay they add the harder the lead becomes.
For anybody confused as to why they were awarded the nobel, here you go.
look up "nobel prize physics 2010" in google and click on the 5th link. (science daily website if the order changed.)
@puretroubleman well, now we can make transistors only out of a few atoms, and it also has anti bacterial properties. The full range of its use is still being explored
Another great vid - thanks again!!!!
Would have been great if you expanded a bit more on properties/advantages of transistors made of graphene ( respectfully asked...)
But what an amazing achievement for just two people, with probably not a lot of funding!!
PEOPLE - WOW = LETS EXPERIMENT ON PEOPLE - BUT NOT TRUMP OR IVANKA - THEY NEED NEW VENEERS AND SHOES - PRIORIOTY
great video, nice ending
@Phoboskomboa Its amazing that most simple of experiments can find the most amazing results.
School kids have discovered fundamental laws in science before actual scientists discovered them!
@soulvibe2007 Isn't selotape quite cheap? lol =) Thanks for the link I'll check it out..
Cool tie on the experiment doing guy!
how did the electron move in this case of Garphene ?
how the electron move in this case of Garphene ?
@punkey0 ye it would be good to hear of the possibilities, there is always a whole load of things that wouldnt have occurred to me.
In labs they often use Digital Microscopes, these makes it possible to see very small things such as each layer of graphite =)
digital Microscopes are often used because of its ease of use and the clarity compared to a 'normal' microscope
@cHIEN87 that's acctually the C60 (a carbonate) which has the shape of a ball and used in toggle switch :D
plz make a video about the working and chemistry of bunsen burner
I love his tie
When it comes to graphene, the electrons delocalize, so if you dope the sheet with other elements, and apply a current, you can produce transistors at low temperatures with little or no electrical resistance.
LET'S DO PEOPLE - GREAT IDEA - BUT LET'S NOT TELL THEM
In interesting to see how such a simple concept can turn into something so large. I wonder what benefits will come from this. Cheaper printable circuits, computer wallpaper?
epic tie of science is epic
what applications does it have?
@SoraNoShimpei His name is Martyn Poliakoff, aka The Professor
Great Hair!! Do scientists intentionally emulate the stereotypical "look" associated with their specific field? Or, is the converse true, that scientists that just happen to have a "look" unbeknownst to them, naturally gravitate toward a specific field?
this is such a good story
The beauty of it is the simplicity of true intelligence.
Graphite rods taken out of batteries were one of my childhood toys sir. :)
The beauty of it is the simplicity of true intelligence
@Higgs666 carbon nanotubes could be used as a kind of a roller on the surface of grepheme to print information like in early typing machines. i doubt that today hdd drives have better information density than this. think of newtonian type machine on atomic scales.
I wonder, what does the footnote on the "best advisor" mug say?
@SoraNoShimpei The best thing is his tie!
For a second there, I thought my chemistry videos spilled into my physics videos! Was a pleasant surprise though.
sir please make videos about all the nobel prizes won in physics
it would be fun
please sixty symbols
dem anti-gravity hair
@525047 Because what they have discovered is a stepping stone for an entire field of electronics.... And people thought we'd be fine with 500 mb of HD space too. Guess how well that worked out?
That guys hair look like science in pure form!
Welcome :)
what did he say?
@gwaur I'm also interested in this..
I've lost a bet and a cup of tea. DAMN!
That would be a hell of a small transistor
According to the Professor's graphene stick model representation, all the carbons are trivalent. This means that they're electron deficient and thus Lewis acids, which are electron acceptors, thus they're also "electrophiles". Anyways, all the carbon atoms in graphene have a formal charge of +1 due to only three bonds existing. I thought "charge separation" within molecules was bad. Why is graphene so stable?
That s amazing, I wast sure what i was but thats unreal. What woul it look like? If it was a cm square sheet, you wouldnt be able to see it right? The idea just seems crazy, one atom thin.
professor poliakoff, he's on the channel periodicvideos
I love his hair :D
Cool.
What I'm surprised at is they never really did state the most important point of the nobel prize!! That simple statement of "graphene is a 1 atom thick sheet of carbon which can sustain so much pressure and tension it is able to carry 5 persons and more stacked up on each other, literally" was never mentioned...
The interesting fact about it is that Andre Geim won an IG Nobel Prize for levitating a frog with magnets in 2000
LEAVE KERMIT ALONE - YOU ARE NUTS
@jayjjj3 I'm aware.
It's not everyday that the head of department walks into your lecture to tell you that two people who work in the same building as you have won the Nobel prize :D
@chrisofnottingham yeah i thought that too
That first guy has some serious soulhair. Power to the people!
They always will.
@MrRobotoToo SPACE ELEVATOR HAIR! Just need graphene hairspray/gel to strengthen it.
The model is actually a little misleading. You need to think of each of those 6-membered carbon rings as aromatic, like benzene. So each of the bonds in the model doesn't represent a single bond, but a bond with a bond order between that of a single bond and that of a double bond. Unfortunately, model-kits don't have "one and a bit" bonds so they've just used regular single bonds for the model.
Crazy hair!
makes me proud to go to manchester university
Love his TIE!! LMFAO
❤❤
@PoisonKing64 it's a fullerene
@Copimi Well the man is married, a professor, a CBE and the soon to be foreign executive of the Royal Society, so I'd say his track record suggests it has had an appeal, given the assumption that it actually makes any difference whatsoever.
@VanillaShoelace a small amount is made every time you write with a pencil
@jayjjj3 lol not making transistors out of the stuff
I like you sir :D
Andre 'Chevy Chase' Geim
wait, professor's in sixtysymbols?
I Thought it was periodic videos until the end :P
i heard it was so strong, you could balance an elephant on a penil, and in turn, place the pencil over a sheet of graphene, and it wouldn't break.
OMG he has a bucky ball on his table. Wanted to do that in Chem but 60 black balls isn't easy to find.
Take pencil draw transistors on paper, haven't they been doing that for a while???
The guy with the hair...nice tie.
oh look at the tie @2:35
@joekirkman hah! thanks :)
That's bull crap... I've been doing that with tape since I was in 2nd grade! Where's my Nobel prize?
Succeed in getting it to a single layer and then turn it into a transistor and you'll have received it, if I understood it correctly.
Pinkie Pie oh hey
lol it was a joke
Just connect any battery
Did you understand the way electrons move through it with relitivity and how it’s tougher than diamond
@iCantSay All you need to know is that this discovery makes faster computers possible. I'm talking like 10 or 100 times faster
@tigerlikeswing25 That's just burning stuff.
this may be going in the right direction for a room temperature superconductor. look at this. ( pyrolytic graphite ).
molymod molecular model!
The idea seems simple, but I imagine it was a lot of work to make it stick.
I know this comment is four years old but that's a really funny pun my dude!
@luddomatic Hummmm......
I strongly oppose ,I should have gotten this Nobel's prize as I have used this idea many times in the past - I've drawn a graphite line with my pencil on AMD processor to unlock its multiplier :P
Wow, so they managed to make a working transistor out of graphene. Coolios!
His hair is made of science!
@MrRobotoToo you are too funny lmao.
So the Mithril in Lord of the rings was made of graphene ,eh ? Well , it was kinda shiny and grayish.
Here's graphene
watch?v=3sAc4nqAbOs
in action you can see why it will become a big thing if they can get the technology working well and manufacturing cost down.
