      Great comment from the Nanophysicist guy! Exactly what I wish I could have said. And done so credibly and concisely.
      This video seemed a whole new level for Mr. Rober. It was technical enough that it allowed me to finally realize Mark Rober is currently one of the nearest this era can offer to Richard Feynman or Steven Hawking or the like. Or at least working at or near their level in his field of mechanical engineering.

I was learning more about Crispr the other day and this was so fun to come across! Who knew you could form DNA into actual shapes! And I loved learning about the tiny useful machines! It was astonishing to me that he covered so much information in such little time all while making it impossibly easy to understand.

      @Neilad ปีที่แล้ว +4

      A lot of work with DNA is done using chance. Notice how they had to use electrophoresis to separate out the bits of DNA that didn’t form nerf guns. It’s because they knew that if they put in the proper structures and let the DNA bind to itself as they knew it would, that chances of it creating nerf guns was pretty high, but chances are there were a LOT more of the failed pieces that didn’t bind correctly, which they separated out.

    • @volmyk6196
      @volmyk6196 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      DNA is a polymer and each single strand of DNA is a sequence of monomers called nucleotides that come in 4 major types: A, T, C, G. When two DNA strands come together to form a double-stranded form, they normally must follow the rule of complementary: A must be opposite to T, and C to G. In DNA origami, each staple DNA sequence is typically long enough to be close to a unique sequence inside the test tube, therefore it is designed to be complementary to specific counterparts in the scaffold DNA. If two complementary DNA strands are placed in solution, they spontaneously would bind into the double-stranded form, reasons for that arise from the laws of thermodynamics. Here, given enough time and preferably a temperature ramp, the staples will eventually "find" their complementary places in the scaffold. The whole process is governed by DNA self-assembly properties, there are CAD tools that can generate the sequences for staples based on your scaffold sequence and the design of DNA origami nanostructure you make. Then its just mixing scaffold and staples

      That part is helped by the temperature they are incubated at in the little "oven". The pairing up of those nucleotide sequences have different energy requirements, heating up paired up DNA is how we normally unzip the strands and get single stranded DNA. You start off at this high temp where nothing can pair up, then you cool it down and hold it at ideal temps that favor particular sequence pairings. In this way you can help direct the assembly of the finale product. As annealing temperatures are easily calculated and used all the time in DNA amplification.

    I LOVE compliant mechanisms. I remember Derek's video on the subject and was fascinated by it ever since. The ingenuity is mind-blowing...and applications like the lens cleaner are so clever.

    This was insane! The tiny nerf gun's beyond tiny and I'm just mind blown by the science behind the process. Amazing stuff Mark!

    I really appreciate that you covered aspects of what's involved in nanotechnology. I feel like it is easier to show off on TH-cam a mechanical or electrical engineering project, as the overhead costs for micro and nanoscale implementations are often very high. As someone who works in the field, it's great to see what nanotechnology can do, and I hope this inspires others to enter into the field!

    I hope Crunch Labs is still around once I have kids in a few years. I would have loved to have those boxes when I was a kid.

    13:15 For those confused, this is a MALE carbon nanotube.

    This is insanely incredible! I didn't even know DNA could be fragmented like that to form junctions!

    Ivy was one of my statics TA while at BYU, she was awesome and it was great to see her on such a great video!
