Me: Should I make a joke about Silicon?
Spanish man: Si.
Any chance of an updated silicon video? This one's now 6 years old
Imad Gibbs we'll get there!
I wish I had taken chemistry from these people.
My teachers managed to turn me off from chemistry, sadly.
I read a lot of stuff in the press about Graphene. I read a recent article in New Scientist (a UK magazine) and they were saying they have discovered a way to make one atom thick sheets of Si called Silicene which has similar applications to Graphene but is more compatible with modern Silicon based circuits and technology than Graphene and so is predicted to be more widely used.
If you want to find out what science looks like to people who don't know anything about science, go to 1:50, mute the sound and just watch for 5 seconds.
the younger guy sounds like he is sweet talking the silicon
I wonder if silicate aliens use carbons for computing...
These videos are good introductions to the elements. Makes me want to get a chunk of indium for example and study it.
I didn't know the turbine in turbos were silicon nitride thats cool to know.
that man's hair was awesome
Silicon forms chains like carbon, but not as well carbon.
Where can I get that tie and mug
Hey I got a question: Could it be possible for silicon-based life to exist? I know this is a wide issue but I can't stop wondering about the possibility of life that's based on silicon...
0:45 nice screensaver you got there
I have the same cup at 1:18!
It is classified as a semi-conductor that is primarily what makes it so special.
And...
the waste silicon from CPUs is not just tossed out much of it goes to be used in photo-voltaic cells. (solar panels)
Silicon is called "silício" in portuguese and I believe spanish also has a similar pronunciation. So it's no surprise that some people mix up the two and say silicium. It makes alot more sense than silicon anyways, as most other elements end with -ium (rubidium, einstenium, gadolinium... I could go on all day)
That wafer is awesome!
Needed to do a report on silicon, Thanks Periodic your the Beez kneez
One of my old teachers has a wafer of Pentium 3 processors. I always loved bringing out out and showing it to the Freshmen; their eyes would get huge and they'd almost always want to take it home.
What is it about silicon that makes it useful to computing? Is it the way it can be grown on wafers as the vid showed, or are there other properties of it that make it appropriate?
@nonchalantgamer I'm just wondering if its possible for Carbon to be used in computing since there can be living organisms made mainly of Silicon.
with the silicone disk they dont use the chips on the out side ( only the ones from the middle) because they are more likely to have problems
that was interesting thanks!
I love these videos!
:D
now we know why the professor wasn't a surgeon
No wonder Opals are so beautiful and reflect light magnificently. They are made of Silicon Dioxide (SiO2). :) Wonderful!
@replypdf because silicon is a semi conductor, therefore allowing the photons to excite the electrons and create a current.
going to rev my engine just for Prof. Poliakoff!
@Quasi84 Yea if sand is silicon oxide then how do you tear them apart from the compound i doubt just melting would do that.
Is there a silicon analogue of diamond?
So how come silicon nitride isn't used for the fuselage of an aircraft?
Thanks - good old wiki!
what a really quite fantastic video
My fav element
Any chance of an update?
sweet i love all this stuff
@vlptr
It is an observation. AND The professor is awesome.
What about silicon in solar cells? How and why is it used?
What about black silicone which supposedly should make more effective solar cells?
Thanks for the good videos.
Silicon may be the single most important element in the modern world.
quantum computing, and yeah they're pretty much turning on and off electrons somehow is kinda what I was getting from what I heard. check it out it's pretty cool
@alasanof It just sounded like something someone would say when they're high, lol. Yeah, it probably could. Carbon is conductive isn't it?
I saw a video with Michio Kaku who said that the silicon chip is almost maxed out. In other words, it can get no thinner. This is how they made advances in the chip by making it thinner year after year. Now, it is about as thin as it can get so we have maxed out the computing power of the silicon chip. Now what? Michio Kaku thinks they will start writing Machine Code directly onto single atoms. I don't see how this is possible.
@thrunt x wrong. he is professor.
Answer's in the video for Manganese!
That afro is powerful. Respeck.
ever heard of graphene, that will replace silicon. its the thinnest material in the world (one atom thick) and can conduct electricity very well. it wil be the base for future supercomputers
The professor looks rather placid, not mad at all.
He is got every trembl-y hands.
@carl0071
actually, most of the cost is the architecture and fabrication systems. the pins are gold PLATED, so they're not even entirely gold. you can find new cpus for less than $40 that have more pins than the socket 478 p4, and the reason they're so cheap is because they don't offer anything special in today's standards
What?! Where was the silicone wire on a reel?
@ShadowRayzzz without silicon erbium would not have any value in computers. No computers, no internets.
lol his hands shake when he was holding the silicon disc
my point was not the name, i heard them saying that it GROWS, thats why i said that it is a fruit. which seemed to be weird. besides i think the name Silicium Comes From LATIN
@serialkissersband
make some?
Silicone is a synthetic rubber based on silicon, carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, among other elements.
breat implants are sillicone, rather than sillicon. Despite the name, they are pretty different materials. It just wouldn't feel very nice with silicon!
and who is to say he didnt jus aquire it recently before the video was made? and how many people realy have a waffer in that good of shape i have a bunch pentium 1 waffers in a storsge tray that i got wen my stepdad worket @ intel installing pipes for there cleanrooms unfortunatly they were all baddly damaged
and only had 4 out of maybe 40 of em were intact
@MagaCarey It's rather strange that Silicon Dioxide is in your cat's food, because it's just a pure sand (As the Prof said in this movie)...
That's not true at all. If you're referring to "silicon-on-sapphire" technology, the sapphire is a separate layer which is used for data transfer. The transistors are still silcon.
Metallic Silicion, i think its even more expensive than metallic titanium, this materials are surrounding us, but their god damn oxides are extremely hard and expensive to obtain the metallic material from them.
5 people dislike silicon and yet without silicon they couldn't even watch this, let alone dislike it! :)
@thingy291 NOOOOO!!!
@onceigoblack yes
@tastythighs180 Pamela Anderson is in my computer.
wow he just handled a couple hundred bucks worth of pentium 4 processors like it was nothing
@HRHooChicken It doesn't. My dad works there, and is always complaining xD
first of all , i knew that latin America was the place between n and south america, wher cuba is.OK W/E call it w/e u want . i will call it silicium. this is how my chemistry teacher thought me like this and i will call it silicium. or simply , maby they call it silicium in romania, how may u know.
i just noticed...nice mug
That plate of silicon cost plenty of money :)
1:45 so let me take that. lol voice :D
@tastythighs180 Technically, silicon is also in pams chesticles. Silicone is made partially from silicon.
Just a tidbit of info for ya.
Professor has a nice cup
go into it!
Clearly you, but you took the time to reply to a 2 month old comment.
@replypdf ah and those are a question for another time... or the internet whichever you prefer xD
erm silicon on this video is the metal and silicone is like rubber stuff lol
what is silicium, a fruit so that it grows? sounds funny.
pentium 4 wafer, the slowest you will ever see a piece of that grade silicon go.
damn how'd they get their hands on intel's wafers? i'd like one of those
@ltjb145 Silicon reacts with JUSTIN BIEBER
Poor guy, he shakes a lot. I don't think that university provides propper central heating
When did I say it does not come from latin? Portuguese are spanish are derived from latin, that's why our continent is called Latin America :)
20 nanometers thick!
Mm I think that's silicone, this is about silicon.
you mean valley =)
that guy looks very much like Jamie Oliver
5 people don't like computers.
I want that waffer!
that waffer he is holding is hella expensive and his shaky hand when he lets go with the other hand and his right hand starts to shake it makes me hope he paid for it so if he breaks it some one else isnt assed out of alot of money lol
silicon is an outdated semiconductor. we have found many better molecular compounds for use in optoelectrical devices. mainly polythiolene derivatives.
I know some silly Kates.
Maybe it's the age. :-P
Doh! forgot th important part...
/wiki/Silicon
@alasanof Are you high?
lonely anytime?
"Right, I'll just put that there because I want to put that back in a bag". lawl... this is what makes these videos enjoyable because you're not up yourselfs AT. ALL. Cute stuff indeed.
I wonder if Professor Martyn has Parkinsons of Parkinson-like tremors. Either that or he just gets nervous in front of the camera.
Great video as usual :P
yes its was a terrible CPU architecture.
give him a break man, you'll get that when your his age
