Catarina Mota: Play with smart materials

- Ink that conducts electricity; a window that turns from clear to opaque at the flip of a switch; a jelly that makes music. All this stuff exists, and Catarina Mota says: It's time to play with it. Mota leads us on a tour of surprising and cool new materials, and suggests that the way we'll figure out what they're good for is to experiment, tinker and have fun.

it's pretty cool how she went into the shade to show the light
Open Source is the future. I'm happy to see the DIY society come back to life online. Great talk.
Portuguesa. Mulher. E ainda assim uma excelente TEDtalk. Bravo!
hahah yeah,i couldn't resist the hole video because of the sound :D
Amazing and legendary, well done. 🌹🌹
at around 3:55 if you are full screen HD you can pause and clearly see she has teeth, they have simply turned in towards her throat and aren't easy to see. TED mics usually do pic up the sound of lips moving, I don't mind it, but I guess some people do.
how about sharing the links to the speakers sites, or the ones they talk about.
Yeah I totally agree. What I really hope for is for us to find a balance.
Great talk!
What I want are windows that become opaque when the power is turned off, so that during a power failure I don't have everyone looking in my bedroom.
outstanding talk
I wouldn't say knowing how these advanced materials are made makes their creation less cumbersome. It may be a real pain getting the materials and equipment to make them working right, but at least it's possible as opposed to being impossible when the trade secrets are kept secret.
1:42 I feel you bro.
Es impresionante como nuestra tecnología va a evolucionando con el tiempo y, la imaginación de la humanidad al descubrir y hacer lo mejor de ella, llamados ahora materiales inteligentes que en muchos años estaran presentes en infinidad de objetos , asi como, las tecnologías que utilizamos a diario a lo largo de nuestros dias , incrementando la ciencia ficcion ..
Unless I missed the part of the video that shows it, a quick search on google seems to imply you're lying.
7:47 oriental man sleeping xD
Super calm. :-)
I don't think I can handle 10 minutes of it
I love the idea of people getting involved with the future. My dream is that soon the mega corporations will fade out leaving just little guys to finally have a say in how the world works.
1:45 conductive ink that might be available for laser printers and pens!
I agree, it ruins really good talks because I can't not focus on it.
Me too!
Transparent aluminum. Aye, that's the ticket, lad...

well said :)
beatonm198 i greatly agree with you ; Christomb is perseverating in his own defects in himself, his computer ,and his computer speakers or headphones!
Wo ist die "English for Engineers" MWT-Studenten Army ?
For the love of god please take a drink!
have a glass of water already!
That washing-machine bike would likely get you arrested and/or fined in California because it wouldn't have something to regulate the amount it pollutes.
There is a rather understandable reason why new materials have their creation and manipulation processes kept secret, it cost money to develop those materials, and investors demand a monopoly for the assurance of return it gives. It's a typical human response, even if it has a worse pay-off in the long run. Then again, who the hell invests for the long run anymore...
Besides, knowing how plastics are made doesn't make their production any less cumbersome. Same for the metamats, most likely.
What Catarina has to say is really valuable. It's a shame you got stuck on something so superficial.
you can make her front teeth out in 3:52 - however I do concur that the 2 k-9's (or whatever they are called - the ones at the sides) make it appear like she may or may not have front teeth for a lot of the video, and perhaps because of that the lisp
damn she didn't tell the name of the website. i love her accent and intelligence and wisdom.
GOLDEN CHEMISTRY
She is *SUPER BEAUTIFUL* inside & out, u will never catch up 2 her brilliance.. & also she is an AMAZING genius.
I want to paint my own speakers!
Actually, her accent is very good. If you're referring to the "Sss" sounds, then that's a different thing
I love her voice, her style, her presentation, her material. My work involves listening & talking, active listening& active communication: Assessing,treating, listening to, talking to children, adults, doctors, surgeons, nurses & so many others in widely varied careers &backgrounds.
Transfer of information & innovation makes more of a difference than nit picking stupidity of small minded children here. Tell me about teeth/ spit in the mouth of cardiothoracic or brain surgeon to work on you .
She should start a school to teach kids how to be maker or somthing and it could be online
Agreed. You cut me down.
I don't think it's the whistling sound that's getting to all of these people. I think it's the sticking sound that is a bit more faint, and would have nothing to do with the a gap in her front teeth.
Your comment reads like this:
"Waaah! Stop inventing things!"
In the real world you claim to know, people invent things because they want to. And that's cool.
Her teeth are a bit turned inward, 3:53 but I think that she sounds different because of her accent and her petite voice. But that's not what Ted is about. I think she is spot on. It is almost impossible to get your hand's on the latest playthings. Start selling in smaller quantities and see the leap of development that shall take place.
But to what extreme can smart materials be taken? Computers reached incredible extremes and still moving, can smart materials hope to do a fraction as much?
Can I get some "smart" food and "smart" beer please!
If she or anyone even at this point had a understand of what graphene is about to do to the techonolgy field, about the gaps it's going to make in every form of basic electronics from super capacitos to printable circuits to huge gaps in new forms of capacitence interface and sensor.
Future does look good when we see all these empowering technologies. Though, I think we still will want corporations. We just want corporations to be led and held accountable be people.
She reminds me of Fabienne from Pulp Fiction
And my Spanish, before I forgot it all from not using it, used to be better than most Spanish speakers. It's the consequence of learning a language as an adult: you learn the formal language, not the slang.
Might as well say it's embarrassing for all Latin-derived language speakers that someone who has learned formal Latin has better Latin grammar, because Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese are just Latin slang.
Practical art goes hightech.
mmmh ....smart materials
Why is that embarrassing? The US has so many different regions which all speak their own slangs and versions of "english". It's a large part of each area's culture that a grammar test could never measure. It's not embarrassing at all from my American viewpoint.
What about Google Patent Search...?
Beauty is subjective.
here is one of em, managed to find it:

Twenty-first alchemy.
'Premptive knowledge'. That she cites the seminal development of the computer is a bit rich, considering the so-called 'smart materials' that are presented in this talk.
minha meniiiiiina!
Yet she presented them as such.
Now i can't not hear it, and had to stop the video too! lol
Im proud to be an engineer..
0:15
Could be.
somebody get her some water
cute voice
Her bluish lipstick freaks me out.
build a vehicle out of a bike and a washing machine... build a vehicle out on a BIKE...
So, these "makers" will expand the knowledge for the benefit of everyone until some corporation comes along and patents all the hard work done by those who've come before them and doesn't bother to share the profit or the technology.
ahh, gotcha.
She's a soft talker.
'Playing' with a pigmentation interface and calling oneself a social scientist in the same breath. Because 'she wants to'.
2;48
Sounds like it would be electronic... seeing as how washing machines run on electricity.
Built a vehicle to transport family.. using 2 wheels and a washing machine? lolwut?
I too, often wonder at these kind of statements, as if the person is constantly looking for reinforcing points to their attitude. It is odd, and notice that his avatar is an Israeli Self-Defense.
what?
*I've
Isn't that kind of a weird thing to say? I mean do you go 'God he is handsome!' when most men talk?
TED stop censoring Graham Hancock! Restore his video!
Ironic how you are telling me to listen, yet you reply to my comment in an irrationally defensive manner when I actually agree with you this was a great presentation. I merely stated that through no fault of her own, that the audio of her saliva distracted me from what she said. Please, be welcome to take your own advice.
Is she a Vampire??
look at her teeth o.o
I understand mistakes. i just wish we stopped making such quick judgements against people... can't we show humility and honesty?
She's breathing through her mouth constantly, and that's why there's extra noise. It may be that she just has a stuffed up nose.
old and tired ....i like the one about printing out organs better...that was cutting edge...this is what?....you should be a maker ...while only a select few understand the new materials?
Your career does not change the fact that any decent audio engineer would not allow a speaker's dry mouth to be heard like this. It is highly annoying for some people to hear a speaker's tongue sticking to her mouth, don't personalize it.
Her talk was not about presenting new innovations.
Why does everyone care about how the woman looks. The point of the video is to introduce new things and ways of thinking, not a beauty pagent.
Psst, the truth is that there's no evidence discrediting the official story. Pass it on
i dont get what he/she is trying to say
mY grmar iS ust fne
But you're missing out 1 point. In a system governed by capitalism, any form of independence from the producers will mean the destruction of the suppliers. The more the problems and the less the people's understanding of how things work, the more money will be produced. Very good logic, very good points, but this cannot be eligible in a market economy, as long as people with money are the ones in power. This would however be highly encouraged in a Resource-Based Economy, so yea.
Disappointing ending. I was expecting her dress to give us the weather forecast.
So... You develop something clever, release it open source, Patent Troll Inc. spends $10k and comes to shut your site down.
Also,
Are her ears made of wax!? WTF she's creepy
I know right? Nasty.
