Nanotechnology Expert Explains One Concept in 5 Levels of Difficulty | WIRED 

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

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

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

😂

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

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 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??

But somehow didn't think about 'em beforehand, just a baby ant

:D

Literally why I came here 😭

I feel the opposite

Ikr, that was awesome.

@Maryam Sharif shut up please

Well, thats not the exact quote but close enough.

@@maxse6221 what is the exact quote ?

STFU

Why are you screaming nano machines to your son? My imagination goes wild.

I was hoping to see this comment here.

I was searching that comment, thanks

They harden in response to physical trauma.

Yeah, it’s on par with “I like programming and video game designing so i went to Computer Science.”

I like your pfp lol

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.

Stop.

I hope so

Rewatching all of Voyager rn, it's still great

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! :)

They use STM

That'd be unnecessarily political for a hard science (+music) series.

And you are smarter than me🙄🙄👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Don't think so 🤔,you are really very good boy
