Nano Nano Mork from Ork Humor The Nano Revolution: Will Nano Save the Planet? Research explores nano’s potential role as invisible intelligence in security devices and the impact of ultimate miniaturization, and networking in computers and building artificial neural computers for human interface. The Canadian Broadcasting Corp. highlighted research by James Gimzewski, professor of chemistry and biochemistry and a member of the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA, aimed creating a Nano technology computer with a structure that mimics the human brain. Prof. Gimzewski was featured in the program The Nature of Things with David Suzuki and the title of the piece was called The Nano Revolution: Will Nano Save the Planet? The invisible revolution of nano technology is already at work in our lives. Professor Jim Gimzewski from UCLA introduces us to the world of nanomaterials: to photocatalytic coatings that coat walls and windows, so they automatically clean themselves, and to a manmade nano fibre that is stronger yet lighter than steel. He explores nano’s potential role as invisible intelligence in security devices and the impact of ultimate miniaturization, and networking in computers. In Korea, we meet scientists who are working on nano-electronic tags that will revolutionize the tracking of consumer goods. Japanese physicist Dr. Masakazu Aono, is one of the world’s leading nanomaterials scientists and he is now collaborating with Professor Jim Gimzewski in an extraordinarily ambitious project- that seems closer to science fiction than contemporary science-the building of artificial neural systems. The invisible revolution of nano technology is already at work in our lives... In this first episode Professor Jim Gimzewski from UCLA introduces us to the world of nanomaterials: to photocatalytic coatings that coat walls and windows, so they automatically clean themselves, and to a manmade nano fibre that is stronger yet lighter than steel . The episode then explores nano’s potential role as invisible intelligence in security devices and the impact of ultimate miniaturization, and networking in computers. In Korea, we meet scientists who are working on nano-electronic tags that will revolutionize the tracking of consumer goods. Japanese physicist Dr. Masakazu Aono, is one of the world’s leading nanomaterials scientists and he is now collaborating with Professor Jim Gimzewski in an extraordinarily ambitious project- that seems closer to science fiction than contemporary science-the building of artificial neural systems.
