Nanotechnology: Tiny Materials With Huge Potential | Erik Reimhult | TEDxKlagenfurt

Sometimes the smallest things make the biggest difference - just like nanotechnology, which is already being successfully applied in chemistry, biology, physics, engineering, and medicine. In this talk, Erik Reimhult explores the potential of materials that can modify at the nanoscale size level for a medical purpose. These materials can carry and release drugs toward the right target in our body more efficiently and cure a disease faster and entirely.

Excellent, fascinating and hopeful talk.... technical but in a good way...forces us to engage with the concepts and technology.

[@superleila5_]

Really cool talk, super interesting and inspiring

[@firefire1877]

This is the mark of the beasst

[@chrisgibbs8204]

That was brilliant!

[@denni_isl1894]

Brilliant guy.

[@guotaku7599]

Powerful speech

[@emilyjohnson-ferguson130]

Is it possible to speak to you as I have been spitting out crystalline nanos that glow blue , gold and copper and would like some advice in how they got there

[@quantumoptimist]

We have everything we need especially for the people who know wth they’re doing with the nano tech.

[@deondraefrazier1384]

So is it started or naw

All I heard was iron man mark 50

Why would you let outside technology that you can't see, into your blood? The materials used can still interact with outside materials - and with the implication of faster wifi and data transfers and the interactions between different technologies, who is to say that outside forces (for example the government and their various agencies) won't be able to abuse the nanotechnology that you accepted in the name of benefiting your health? Are you human? Or cyborg? That could change when they tell you without this technology your chances of dying of cancer are very high. I'd rather die of the cancer than become a robot. I was born of a human man and woman, thank you.

Do you think prosthesis will you make you not a human? Question of Ship of Theseus?

[@julie5271]

That's the part they'll never talk about.

[@matildeqv6635]

first, you don't know that. second, to my knowledge, these nano "drones" will desintegrate (not the correct term but yeah) after the job is done, the drugs will kill the cancer so they'll be gone too.... honestly, I don't think what you're saying could be possible. And think for a sec, ok nanotechnology is developing now and stuff and it could be dangerous... bombs and every single weapon that were created in the last centuries are mainly in the hands of governments... like uuuh now they'll be able to do whatever they want, no. and you won't be a cyborg! jeez, someone I know broke their arm and has a titanium plate around the bones, is he cyborg because he has a working arm?
If you ever have cancer or know someone who does (and obviously I hope not) I hope you take a step back, really take your time to know at full length how this works and consider using it, for you, for the people around you and because scientists have been working on this and looking for answers and we're finally getting somewhere interesting and it would have been all for nothing?

Made my ears bleed 👎 another implanted guy

Know anything else? Cochlear mk?
