ever since I was little I was always astounded by science and technology I don't wholly really our school and watch hours upon hours of PT Giles just discovery or National Geographic and because I was so curious about it everything I wouldn't research of all these topics that he would talk about and would learn about them even more and one of these topics not just so much
interest to me was not a technology now the way I got introduced internet nanotechnology and my interest in out of college is relatively sodomy and this is because I got introduced to it by way that describe the apocalypse this is probably just a spark of birds but the apocalypse scenario is called the great you and this is where a swarm of self replicating not a robot
not not a robots it's not like anything in the world and the whole world dies ends done and as you can imagine being introduced to a topic like this is SAT no one ever wants to be introduced to something they're passionate about in such a way and then of course I did more and more research and I would learn that media the potential for not a
technology and the potential to do good with not a technology is endless for example you could use it and not about us in medicine in material science and much much more for example I have it let me just tell you this if you take in the fact that the DNA alpha helix is to not a meters in diameter or the fact that the cell membrane of
the regular sellers seven nanometers in diameter when you take into the fact that not a technology deals with parameters of one hundred nanometers and often sub science is not a technology such as not a robotics deal and parameters of about one plus or minus one nanometer and when you can have something that is so unbelievably small but so small that it can also change everything the
world is made of everything we know life is made of then you have unlimited potential let me start off with talking about implementation of nanotechnology to medicine as you can see here this is a so called not a robot and what he's not a robots can do to someone is sent for example a highly concentrated dose of antibiotics to in our area in your body with
the disease or illness or chemotherapy medication into an area of tumor area affected by cancer and this is so much better than diluting and he antibiotics or chemotherapy drugs is just very pet painful to experience into once worked out a system or they can use ultrasound technology ultrasound to attack a tumor in one's body or they can use lasers and remove up blood clots in someone's
body or they can help remove doubt I'm someone's body again using lasers you know I lost my grandmother to a brain tumor one of six and if not a technology and existed back then then she might still be alive today because you could have that ultrasound medication and you know she got to survive or at least I would have seen her in a much much happier
states then before she went passed away tries again should not have to go would she would not have to go to the unbelievably painful %HESITATION medication known as chemotherapy now that's medicine right and it sounds really really nice because it is really really nice but it Saudi really really hard to implement and this is because of the high introductory cost if you want something cheap yet
the other economies of scale and Sally that takes time to start up so we might see nanomedicine in our lives maybe a few decades but something that is not that far away and something that's already being kind of developed is the implementation of that ethnology and material science %HESITATION there are these things called carbon nanotubes which you can see behind me it's a model and these
are pretty much allotropes of carbon and as we all know graphite is really really good conductor of electricity better than %HESITATION copper for example but due to the fact that is very very brittle you cannot actually use it in the alley any electronic devices because it would just break however carbon nanotubes once pictured here are nearly one hundred times stronger than steel yet have the same
conductive properties of graphite so you could use these carbon nanotubes instead of copper wires and allow your electronics to the function of the faster rates but that's so much as a Tricity is already the cut copper wires already relatively good but the thing that carbon nanotubes excel at is the fact that they have a really nice aspect ratio for example if you had a car but
not to the %HESITATION with your hair it would be up to forty meters long and this would be invaluable in the constant course that you're humankind has on making things smaller on making electronic devices smaller so they could fit in everything that you possibly fit anything into and when you have something so small and actually allow it to be implemented into generic electronics that we use
today it will be great it's been awesome right cool gadgets but in my pin what's even cooler than that is using carbon nanotubes and construction projects %HESITATION as I said carbon nanotubes are nearly one hundred times stronger than steel but what I didn't mention is that they have one sixth the density of steel so if you could replace steel parts of the structure of for example
the bush Khalifa tallest building in the world you could have a much lighter structure allowing for the structure to be bigger and tall buildings are pretty cool as well so if you can have told buildings using carbon nanotubes or for example if you could just allow buildings to be safer and with that in terms of was stunning earthquakes then carbon additives can also save thousands of
countless lives and one final thing a carbon additives can have in terms of the structural integrity of objects is the fact that Nick abuse in spaceships now the only thing I peanuts cooler than Paul buildings are cool gadgets there is space right %HESITATION who doesn't love space it's like the final frontier it's the coolest thing anybody could ever imagine going anywhere but look so I mean
sadly not likely only a very very minute percentage of people in the world ever get to was visit such a awesome space part of the universe however carbon nanotubes could allow exactly this low density hundred times stronger than steel what's with this is awesome this is the future and this is exactly what carbon additives could do now it's really really nice dreaming of what could happen
how how we will live how we could live but it's also important to remember of how we are living and what what nanotechnology has exactly how not a technology that is acts exactly affecting our lives today and not my final part I will talk about nanotechnology and clothing %HESITATION examples of we're not out you can find out technology clothing today or in %HESITATION things we use
every day are mostly sees every day are a very small percentage percentage of people use every day is and for example tennis rackets where carbon additives are used to make the tennis racket stronger stonebreakers easily and also you can have a stronger hit with them or for example allowing the air going out of suffering soccer ball at a much slower rate so you can play with
it longer and have less of an effect if you're playing a ninety minute game the that's how much air the air between the start of the game and the other guy might very and the th really again %HESITATION lifesaving version of not of carbon nanotubes would be and body armor there's already a company which %HESITATION does body armor you can see there A. R. five hundred
alright I think that's the act to the back of the type of body armor that they create but it just uses carbon additives is that's hundred times stronger than steel and it save thousands of military men and women or policemen and women or anybody in fact was threatened by a gunshot wound and this is exactly what nanotechnology do it saves lives it can save lives the
knots what people want at the end they want to have their life say they want have cool buildings that one have cool spaceships they wanna have cool bill Darden that I try devices and when you think of it the technological breakthroughs that the human race husband through over the past century is just wow it's the men's right and imagine what will happen a hundred years so
my generation generation Z. as Michael said before we'll be working in industries that probably don't exist the day I'm sorry to tell the Volkswagen guy here but %HESITATION and that is exactly what technology does it makes the human race go further to help the human race %HESITATION I just the changes in the world and it helps you in your human race improve theirs type living and
I might as well be working in our industry which is highly highly focused on not a technology and also that it might be working in the street which is highly highly focused on that gotten not a technology or the year ten students in the back might be working in that she that is highly highly focused and not a technology and this is really in my opinion
