- Nanotechnology researcher Dr. George S. Tulevski is asked to explain the concept of nanotechnology to 5 different people; a child, a teen, a college student, a grad student, and an expert. Nanotechnology is the study of objects at the nanoscale (between 1 and 100 nanometers in size). Objects at this size have a peculiar set of properties that differ from objects at the macroscale. Dr. Tulevski does his best to succinctly explain this phenomenon, adapting his language and tone along the way.

I’m only half-way through this video, and this college student is EXACTLY the kind of student I’d want if I was a professor of any sort: smart, humble enough to ask questions, curious, and excited about her field of study. What a cool thing to see. Most college students I know are just there because they think they have to be.
Your last sentence is very true, and the sad thing to me is that in the US at least, there are many people who can't attend college that would love to, or have a much harder time doing so, not because of they lack the _ability,_ but because of the arbitrary factor of how much (or how little) money their family has when they graduate high school. People like to insist we live in a meritocracy in America, but it's not even close.
That last thing isn't very true in my experience, most students I know are genuinely passionate about their studies
EDIT: I'm not sure if it makes a difference, but I am Belgian myself
Creep
@@JET7C0 that last conclusion is flawed though, it’s a meritocracy because you have to produce enough value to get the rewards, merit creates opportunity... just really wanting to go to college doesn’t mean your family has done enough for you to deserve it, unfortunately I believe college has become so expensive that the only way to get in is to get some sort of student loan that most will still be paying for for most of their life
Well she’s a STEM major so she obviously wants to be there, people don’t do these degrees unless they want to
4:46 I appreciate that he's holding the super advanced Lego transistor with gloves on
I felt it in my soul when Savannah said she thought there would be more chemistry in chemical engineering. I'm graduating with a BSChE in 69 days and I'm still waiting for general chemistry to come up
BRROOOO CURRENTLY A BSCHE STUDENT and i clicked this vid bc we did like a presentation about nanomaterials as water purifiers and I understood nothing
@@carwynt i literally worked with nanoparticles in my research lab and still understood nothing lol
@@big_dick_entropy fam I felt that. Was gonna go into ChemE but got talked out of it by my HS teacher- now I’m in an electrochem lab making nanoparticles and I understand none of it
Something is not right here
NICE
well yh it is "Engineering" after all, chemical or not
love hearing experts talk about their fields...they are so knowledgeable and passionate....you can tell they live and breath their interest
Sugestions for 5 levels
- Physics explain Entropy
- Chemitry explain KERBS cycle
- Economist explain inflation
- Economist explain currency
- Scientist explain transistors
- Mathmatician explain power to 0
- Mathmatician explain Pi
- Mathmatician explain Divided by 0
- Mathmatician explain prime numbers
Power to 0: www.khanacademy.org/math/cc-eighth-grade-math/cc-8th-numbers-operations/exponents-with-negative-bases/v/raising-a-number-to-the-0th-and-1st-power
Pi: is just a constant like any other. In this case, pi = perimeter of any circle / (radius of that circle * 2)
Division by 0: is just an unknown, meaning nobody knows, so there isn't much to explain; if you think about division as dividing equaly and getting no remainder, then might be easier to get it. If you have 2 apples and divide by 2 people, you have 1 for each, thus 0 apples remaining, dividing 2 apples by 1 person, the person gets all, so 0 apples remain, but when you try to divide 2 apples by 0 people, the way we know how to divide, we always get 2 apples remaining, thus division is incomplete. And if you try to divide the 2 apples remaing again, you will still get 2 apples remaining. So it's an unknown, because we don't know how to solve division, we don't know how to divide by 0 and get a remainder of 0.
Prime Numbers: this is easy...
Although, Prime Numbers and Pi have a lot of different and curious applications, might be interesting to be explored in such videos.
the pi and dividing by zero are great
philosopher explains metaphysics :O
if you've been paying attention to current events it's likely the level 1 and level 5 would have the same understanding of inflation...........
Economics isn't a science
I am studying this major and after watching this video I feel more inspired for the world that's waiting up for me and my fellow colleagues.
I wish you a happy and prosperous career!
what the major is ?
plz if you know any site
or channel where they explain more about majors of nanotechnologie
dont hesitate to tell me
@@tiffanyandrade2705 thank you very much!
What branch of engineering shd I choose if I want a career in nanotechnology??

This is one of the best series on CZcams. I have been a fan since episode 1. I would love to see someone explain something Pharmacology related in the future.
Celeste solum....nano moments....utube
I love this series but I can only really grasp the first 2 levels. 😞
I had more trouble with the second level than with the third one for some reason. And more with the fourth than the fifth, but that's probably because the last one talked about biology, which I know a little bit more about. But yes, it is difficult to understand a lot of this.
Lol
Yooo bot who replies on EVERY COMMENT... SHUT UP!!!!
Keep reading
Me too
That's the point! The only one I could understand to the 4th level was Blockchain, and even then, I only "understood" the concepts
I don't understand, why did they start with the expert first?
I had a hard time understanding the first one too LOL
Lol😂😂😂😂
@@fake_satan2600 it was sarcasm but I am still mind blown at our ability to manipulate materials at such microscopic levels. This is an amazing field.
😅😅great humour

Yes, I do indeed like it.
@@vorlinnsame haha
Haha, that little girl was so cute when she told about the atoms!
But somehow didn't think about 'em beforehand, just a baby ant
There're so many really interesting applications when you start looking into techniques around biomimetic design for things like the shapes on black butterfly wings being helpful for the application of things like designs of solar cells to make them better at capturing incoming light. The whole field is just immensely interesting.
I feel smarter as this video progresses!
I feel the opposite

I was aware and understood semiconductors and semicon at some extent but the Level 5 expert exposed me to something I had never heard of or even remotely heard of it. Thank you Dr. George S. Tulevski and Dr. Angela Belcher for highlighting this side of nanosciences.
This episode needs way more views
I really like this series, I would love to see Depression explained in 5 levels of difficulty. It's exactly one of those subjects that seems way simpler than it actually is...
Could you make a video on immunology, e.g., the basics of inflammation, the immune system's role in autoimmunity or cancer, the complement cascade system, etc.?
A baby ant!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love it!!! That's pretty freaking small I would imagine!!
Holy crap y’all got Angela Belcher :0
Ikr, that was awesome.
I have always been curious as to what exactly Nanotechnology was, Thank you!
What an excellent video! All 5 people were interesting. The perspective layed out by the expert is really fascinating.
I love how his voice just got deeper
"NANO MACHINES, SON!"
Why are you screaming nano machines to your son? My imagination goes wild.
@@timauth you can r/woosh me but hes doing a metal gear solid refrence
I was hoping to see this comment here.
I was searching that comment, thanks
They harden in response to physical trauma.
Hello, I just discovered this series, and I found it really interesting.
I am a geology major and I'd like to hear someone's opinion on some aspect. Earth related or not.
Can we please have a geologist next time? Especially if they can presents some theories, I am deeply interested
Thank you so much for breaking down Nanotechnology as this really does bring to light some amazing things that most people might not grasp otherwise.
Man: "what's the smallest object you can think of"
Kid: "a baby ant"

I'm there for Savannah's enthusiasm for science: "I like chemistry!" AWESOME!
@Maryam Sharif shut up please
This man is a genius
I love this series! I'm a medical doctor and feel so excited for all the technology that's coming up. We don't learn so much about tech in our graduation so I feel like I'm educating myself watching this Wired series.
7:00 i like chemistry so i'm going to go into chemical engineering. OHHHHHHHHHHHH DEARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Yeah, it’s on par with “I like programming and video game designing so i went to Computer Science.”
Also, the final discussion #5 is not at advanced level, he just asks/speaks about some specific and narrow issues. But he still speaks at a level of a non-professional student.
I love this series, so interesting and educational :)
The expert explaination one was extremely interesting, I love these videos wired, please keep em coming.
As a dancer I love that the college student had tap shoes on her wall lol
Keep these series up! Learning so much and loving the content!
Most of the time when these are posted, I can usually understand up to level 3. This time I made it as far as level 2. Wild stuff!
Thank you! It is so nice to learn a little something about this topic! It sparks many many questions; thank you for that.
This series is so great, everyone can learn something
I like your pfp lol
These are super interesting discussions about nanomaterials. Here's my question: How far out are molecular printers? Is that what the expert meant by materials synthesis?
I'm a graduate student and this was super helpful in reminding me why I'm working in this field XD.
U r a researcher?
@@yugalsharma2773 Yes.
@@tanujkumar1576 in nanotech?, Specific area?
@@tanujkumar1576
How much time I need to get a general idea about nano technology ?
So I can start my research in electrical engineering using nanotechnology !!
@@salahaldeen8249 don't focus on the time, that'll accomplish nothing. Just try to find projects that are interesting to you. I can only say that experience and reading over the course of years will get you to the point of being an expert in the field. Just look at the various stages in this video itself, it's a great example of how long it takes for each level.
This is so interesting because my dad is in the business aspect of the companies that produce the lasers small enough to make those tiny nanometer sized holes. I had no idea why or what they were used for when he’d explain it but now I get it (he speaks only korean so it’s hard for him to explain all these things to my limited korean lol)
It is so interesting how we speak to different age groups. I don’t think I’ve ever sat down and thought about how I would discuss one certain topic to people of specific ages. I think it might be actually really fun to try but I definitely wouldn’t be talking about nano technology. =)
This is really fascinating. Great interview at the end!
Can we get them to bring in one very experienced philosopher to come do this series. Bruh just imagine the life they’d talk about at each level
Man I would’ve loved to be in this. It’s late but I’m in Nanosystems Engineering as a sophomore so I haven’t taken any major focused classes, just general engineering, but this makes me super excited to dive into Nano engineering classes
How much time I need to get a general idea about nano technology ?
So I can start my research !!
I wonder how long until we can get a nanotech Ironman armor

Stop.
this series is amazing
Oh. Do I see a Tag heuer monaco? Do I see a watch and car lover? love this series keep it up.
1:05 a baby ant
That's so cute.
19:17 zooming without self view: brave.
Expert: would you want to make something out of these atoms?
kid: I would make a unicorn out of them.
me: :')
as someone who wants to do a master in nanotech, these videos are really helpful
gg wired
The College student’s English and confidence is top tier even when compared to people in the corporate world
Its cool how levels 1 through 4 is him explaining while level 5 is him listening.
A little note on the what tools are used to manipulate atoms at a nano scale and how, would be welcome (i.e. argon gas, lasers).
He made a note on the child level? 2:20 One of those tools, a complete device that is, scanning tunneling microscope.
Can he make video about his journey to the posisition he is at now? would be helpful
Expert calls on mother nature. I'm most interested in how this is technology is actually made and the machines used to make it. Light waves? Any recommendations?
5 Levels explaining a subject matter of philosophy would be so great !!!!
That 6 year old is smarter than 22 year old me
And you are smarter than me🙄🙄👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Don't think so 🤔,you are really very good boy
Love the concept of this series 👌
When I watch these videos, it appears that the producers do not recall there are nice, smart, verbal little boys out there.
Great explanation at all levels..

One day, her research will inspire the invention of Voyager’s, “Gel-Packs”.
I hope so
Rewatching all of Voyager rn, it's still great
I know she's a kid but it was kind of funny to me how she thought of a baby ant as an object while actually being a completely different thing.
The idea to reprogram viruses to perform nanofabrication is genius.
No more messing around with separate lithography and deposition processes will drive down the cost of these nanostructures immensely.
Awesome! I've always wanted to do something in nanotechnology!
A psychologist would be very cool
Why do the transistors get smaller? Because the parts become more efficient? Because of the nature of the materials? (i.e. quantum dots?)
this kinda video is what i listened before i go to sleep so i can sleep better just like in my classroom when my tutor is teaching
How do you see those materials? I mean the wavelength of visible light is 500nm+. So you must be using some kind of electron microscopes to see them right?
They use STM
Is there a way that you can use nano tech to create materials that are strong and can be used as say like solar energy
Very cool. I loved working on a SEM.
Grad student: _”BATTERIES”_ 🔋
@8:33 woah. Didn't see that coming.
Could you please do a video of Erik Singer analysing Jodie Comer/Villanele in Killing Eve??
These information are going over my head at times. But its still as peculiar as it can get, so I still watch more lol
When I grow up, I hope I can be like the grad student they featured. Smart, good-looking, and pure class. He’s going to be the future of the nanotechnology and battery industries for sure!
Be nice if this video was marked for easier digestion in the timeline.
Im glad to be taking this course in the only university that offers It in my country (Portugal) NOVA university of lisbon and im getting more and more excited about being a nanotech engineer After this video.
I majored in nanotechnology and have a masters in nanomaterial science and I legit could not grasp the 16 years old conversation. The college student and above were fine
Talking at kids level, I'm proud of the achievement of tsmc (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co), which leads the world currently about nanotechnology; they are developing semiconductors at 1 nm range right now. 🇹🇼 🇹🇼 🇹🇼
Could you do one of this type of videos about human rights? I think this concept can be easily manipulated for the media, in detriment of his real significance
That'd be unnecessarily political for a hard science (+music) series.
A little bit out of topic but anyone know what macbook he is using?

I just started my masters in applied physics focusing on nanotech so this was really cool :)
Nice! Congratulations!
hey may i know what your major in undergrad was
@@aswinkrishna5042 I have a bachelor in applied physics and I'm now in the same faculty's master track but in the nanotech branch at the university of technology eindhoven
This is awesome! I’m a MechE undergrad currently, but hoping to pursue a grad degree in Materials Science and Engineering with a nanotech focus. Very cool to hear about others doing the same; gives some much needed motivation. Good luck! :)
I shall now look at Lego bumps as fins of a fish.
I Liked his explanation and especially his voice has a good bass
Could you mix nanotechnology and quantum locking to make light rails
Does anyone know the name of the expert? I got really curious about the topic she was talking about, maybe I can find a article or something.
The one zoom meeting my brain can't process...
recently graduated chem engineering and i can confirm there was FAR less chemistry than i expected
I study little things that people don't see because even small sh*t matters.
The last lady seemed much more knowledgeable than our expert over here.
He did mention reading her paper when he was still a student 16:07
This is almost always the case in this series
I think that's the point
Only vids in this series where the lecturer is on par with the expert so far I've watched is the Physicist teaching dimensions, and the hacker Samy Hamkar who is actually acquainted with his lvl 5 expert.
They belong to different fields of application. Means that the research focus is different as well. Biological vs computational although need nanomaterial manipulation differs greatly in focus.
Get Stephanie Kelton to explain Modern Monetary Theory
Could you please make a video about philosophy? Like ethics or epistemology for example.
