About speaker:
Andreas Mershin is a Research Scientist at the MIT Center for Bits and Atoms. He leads the "Label Free" research group demolishing boundaries between physics, biology and materials science. From inexpensive photosynthetic solar panels to quantum effects in biomolecules, and from cytoskeletal memory encoding and machine olfaction to bioenergy harvesting, his research and the technologies it spawns are used by industry and government, exhibited at the Boston Museum of Science and Designer's Open Exhibition, awarded consumer product awards and regularly covered by global media including CNN, BBC, NYT, Discovery Channel, Wired, New Scientist, Nature and Science.
Having won the TAMU Center for New Ventures Business Idea competition and advised several MIT100K teams, he co-founded the HBN Big Idea Competition for early stage startups, and is chief consultant at Rebel Minds -specializing in rapid lab to market transition.
He is the co-founder and Director of the international non-profit Molecular Frontiers Inquiry Prize (MFIP) a.k.a "Kid Nobel" open to anyone under 18 years old (www.moleclues.org) awarded annually at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm (home of the science Nobels). Winners are determined by a jury of eminent scientists including thirteen Nobel laureates. The MFIP is the world's first ever prize awarded for asking good questions.
He earned his MSci in Physics at Imperial College London and received his MS and PhD in Physics from Texas A&M University. He is a Scuba divemaster, a private pilot and sometimes teaches the "hard" freshman physics class at MIT.
About TEDx:
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)

The best lecture which supported by the best references. Thanks.
i like hearing "the only way to understand it is to build it", this explains the NIH urge many programmers have.. curiosity as a driving force.
"changing everyone's life whether you like it or not"....
he is great
wow what an incredibIe future that Iies ahead!
Am Dixith K A, 2nd BSc Micro-Nano student from India, and I'd like to do masters in bionanotechnology in Singapore or Japan! What should I exactly do to acquire my interest? Suggestions are much welcome...
i woke up next to my computer with this playing and my glasses off,, looked over and thought, so Robin Williams did a talk on NanoTechnology!
i would like to give it a try
however, to make our resource consumption sustainable, maybe we should actually focus on using biology's mechanisms directly? making our current industrial products out of the elements of H, O, C, N, K and P (except plastics)?
Why would Spock's tricorder (13:12) terrify an 11 yr. old boy?
Was Andreas once a member of ABBA?
If I want to study bio nanotechnology, should I enter to a chemistry contest or a physics contest? (To be prepared for the career, considering that I already have been on a biology contest)

I'm sorry everyone felt those comments were appropriate. I'd like to know also, but doubt we will find out.

Mind blown?
When odor detection technology matures, we will be able to follow the scent of other people. Governments will keep an archive of the scent of every citizen to be used in crime and intelligence investigations.

João de Carvalho if you look at this things with fear yes, that’s a possible use and a lot more, but also will have cool uses.
Who else is in here because you have invested in the company?

which company do you mean - BioNTech?
This may be the lifeboat for the European countries that the EU (deliberate or accidental...fails) managed to wreck in the past decade? The knowledge base is there, even some apt infrastructures being wasted now...?

In this talk This man says he is working on replicators. This is an incredible leap forward for mankind. At the same time it could be extremely dangerous in the hands of the madmen who we find in the world today. There must be a way of detecting those things that are ment to harm society. One way would be to have each replicator broadcast an identity, in the same manner as computers have now. This identity would be installed on every piece that is replicated. It would take a very large data base to keep track of everything produced by this method. But an item would be erased from the data base when it is destroyed. Thereby keeping the data base as small as possible. Nano bots scattered throughout society would report anything that has not been registered and immediately destroyed for the safety of humanity. If you have any of the by product from these rogue machines on you , that would be the fingerprint to identify those individuals.

Yeah, sounds great in theory. But almost everyone wants less info collected about us as we feel that we already have no privacy and the government already knows everything about us. So pretty much everyone would be against that.
