Exploring Nanotechnology and the Future of Renewable Energy

Exploring Nanotechnology and the Future of Renewable Energy. Imagine a future where every home, office or building is painted with solar panels and its bricks operate as batteries thanks to nanotechnology. There's a lot of promise, but what is nanotechnology? And is it more science fiction than fact?

"there's plenty of room at the bottom"
that is an ambitious title

[ArrtusMusic]

I'm an electrical engineer and I still don't understand how we have technology that can make things this small.

[adityashukla]

Finding this channel was one of the few good things I did this year.

[matchrocket]

You're not alone with a broken brain. My broken brain won't allow me to enjoy exploring math like I did in college many years ago. But fortunately it doesn't interfere with watching your wonderful videos. Keep them coming.

I am a nanoscience Student in the First semester and at the moment I feel like study physics only a bit harder

[renatoberaldo]

As a Ph.D student, this is a perfect stuff!

Did yone else just randomly find this video and say oh ok

[rice]

I'd happily paint my house in Solar paint as long as it wasn't toxic and had a decent life span. I know paint tends to weather/oxidize pretty heavily.

[CubbyTech]

Here's an idea - solar paint on one side of the brick, PEDOT super capacitor filaments on the other :)

[MindFieldMusic]

I found an alliteration for you:
cinder-block super capacitors:)

I'm looking forward to when someone invents dimmable photovoltaic glass. Too bright? Don't lower the shades, just dim the glass. The more tint the glass has, the more photons it absorbs and converts into electricity. I think this would be a really cool invention.

[wannabeaznufcfighter]

I thoroughly enjoy your show and analysis. Thanks for breaking down things into simpler matters.

A brick house with solar paint on the outside of the brick and the super capacitor coating on the inside, beautiful

[Yetipfote]

9:35 "How would you like your brick, rare, medium or well-done?"

[SameekshaRana]

My search for nanotechnology came to an end after watching this video. Perfect explanation. Thank You for the video!

[macrumpton]

It would be interesting to talk about how the concept of nano technology has changed over time. Back in the 80s Eric Drexler wrote a book Engines of Creation that talked about the potential of creating atomic scale robots and there was lots of interesting ideas on how that might change our world. Nowadays nano technology is much more focused on materials science with almost no mention of nano scale robots.

[CraigRadala]

Another excellent video. Always look forward to your insightful presentations.

[hughwaller]

Wow Matt, you hit it out of the park with that one. You and Ricky are disrupting my YouTube habits for the better. I love tech news, especially applications of technology to disrupt the non-sustainable and promote the sustainable.

[ronmaximilian]

I'll be curious to know how turning bricks into capacitor is affects their load capacity and long-term strength. These are affected, then the applications become much more limited.
Also worried about nanowaste. We have an idea how to mediate conventional solar panels which are a big problem. But how do we recycle, break down, or even contain nanowaste?

[adityashukla]

10:00 In simple words, brick as a Dielectric in a capacitors. 🤔 Right?
