- This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Imagine being able to hold all the material it took to build an airplane in the palm of your hand. Julia Greer combines different design structures at varying nano-scales to create super strong and super light materials. Her research is changing the landscape of materials available today.
Julia Greer researches lightweight, 3-dimensional nano-architectures and designs experiments to assess their properties and deformation mechanisms. These ‘nano-metamaterials’ have multiple applications, which provide a rich ‘playground’ for fundamental scientific pursuits. Greer, professor of Materials Science at CalTech, has a Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from Stanford University. She was recognized as a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum in 2014. She is also an accomplished concert pianist.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
Im in love the way she explained everything and her enthusiasm towards explaining all these stuff
I'm gonna get my nieces and nephews some zen magnets and let them make these structures. There is such a beauty to the precision, geometry, of bonds... And you get to play and think like that daily; awesome. Mahalo
Wish I could be there to clap for her. The only problem with nanoscale materials is the cost of mass-fabrication, as it outweighs the traditional method and materials. That is why these all are only used mostly in space tech.
Thank you
Very interesting and enlighting speech. Thanks
Helped me understand a lot, thank you.
Amazing !!
I could listen to this lady for hours, smart, and intelligent
amazing
Where can I invest?
Poly fibres are what are seen on the ground or in trees after the chemical sprays of airplanes, are they being used in the air to build something?
TESLA technology....from his confiscated boxes, after he died. We now live in NIKOLA TESLA's World
This is all fine and wonderful and it's incredible what new materials we have at our disposal but first we have to do something about those corporations that make a lot of money from us using lots of fuel and power, they will not be happy if they sell less of the stuff that they sell.
They will do anything all that they can to sabotage those who invent and make things that use less of the energy that they sell. The Koch brothers, for example, are guilty of massive amounts of pollution and nobody does anything because they are so powerful and have their fingers in so many pies and pay a lot of money into political funds and lobbying so that any new inventions are shot down and buried before they even have a chance to prove themselves.
Lastly Julia, there is an amazing material called velcro which you should stick on that darn cardigan please.
pounds? gallons? mile? pls, you Americans, use the international standard system!
