about a tipping point so we have the

about a tipping point so we have the mains but we also have the challenge to

mains but we also have the challenge to

mains but we also have the challenge to actually engage and it means we need to

actually engage and it means we need to

actually engage and it means we need to do things in a much more sustainable way

do things in a much more sustainable way

back to this kind of nature which is

back to this kind of nature which is really beautiful and then think about

really beautiful and then think about

really beautiful and then think about science and especially Natural Sciences

science and especially Natural Sciences

science and especially Natural Sciences it is just a description of nature I

it is just a description of nature I

it is just a description of nature I think some of you have heard about the

just a description of nature using the language of physics on physicists we

language of physics on physicists we

language of physics on physicists we have the same kind of law or chemistry

have the same kind of law or chemistry

have the same kind of law or chemistry etc so we have these kind of different

etc so we have these kind of different

languages that was used once upon a time

languages that was used once upon a time in order to make knowledge more

in order to make knowledge more

in order to make knowledge more digestible and now in the nano scale

about already the language of chemistry it’s just combined because everything is

it’s just combined because everything is

it’s just combined because everything is happening at the same time we cannot

happening at the same time we cannot

happening at the same time we cannot distinguish that oh this is physics this

distinguish that oh this is physics this

distinguish that oh this is physics this is chemistry because there’s no meaning

is chemistry because there’s no meaning

is chemistry because there’s no meaning something happens and we need to

something happens and we need to

something happens and we need to describe it and this thing that we get

describe it and this thing that we get

describe it and this thing that we get in this kind of understanding at the

in this kind of understanding at the

in this kind of understanding at the nano scale makes us to understand how

nano scale makes us to understand how

nano scale makes us to understand how nature actually works and then we can

nature actually works and then we can

nature actually works and then we can start to mimic nature we can do things

start to mimic nature we can do things

start to mimic nature we can do things that are similar to what nature does but

that are similar to what nature does but

that are similar to what nature does but in a more predictable way so we can kind

in a more predictable way so we can kind

in a more predictable way so we can kind of enhance what nature is doing and the

of enhance what nature is doing and the

of enhance what nature is doing and the evolution of a billions of years and to

evolution of a billions of years and to

evolution of a billions of years and to make something that is really precision

make something that is really precision

make something that is really precision made to do a certain function so all

made to do a certain function so all

made to do a certain function so all these kind of descriptions that are

these kind of descriptions that are

these kind of descriptions that are converging at the nano scale and then

converging at the nano scale and then

converging at the nano scale and then the knowledge created at that scale is

the knowledge created at that scale is

the knowledge created at that scale is immense and this knowledge will diverge

immense and this knowledge will diverge

immense and this knowledge will diverge into different kind of societal sectors

into glass windows into concrete floors

into glass windows into concrete floors or carpeting everything so it’s the

or carpeting everything so it’s the

or carpeting everything so it’s the knowledge that generated at the

knowledge that generated at the

knowledge that generated at the nanoscale that enhanced our

nanoscale that enhanced our

nanoscale that enhanced our possibilities to do things for the

possibilities to do things for the

possibilities to do things for the future so just to give you one example

future so just to give you one example

future so just to give you one example about no no technology that you can get

about no no technology that you can get

about no no technology that you can get some kind of perception for it my my

some kind of perception for it my my

some kind of perception for it my my gold ring is yellowish right and it it

gold ring is yellowish right and it it

gold ring is yellowish right and it it is yellow because there are yellow light

is yellow because there are yellow light

is yellow because there are yellow light in the room and when this light falls on

in the room and when this light falls on

in the room and when this light falls on the gold ring it reflects the yellow

the gold ring it reflects the yellow

the gold ring it reflects the yellow light so you see the yellow there is no

light so you see the yellow there is no

light so you see the yellow there is no color in the girl ring in itself it’s

color in the girl ring in itself it’s

color in the girl ring in itself it’s reflection of color so in the dark it’s

reflection of color so in the dark it’s

reflection of color so in the dark it’s dark right it’s not yellow when it’s

dark right it’s not yellow when it’s

dark right it’s not yellow when it’s dark so you need some light in order to

dark so you need some light in order to

dark so you need some light in order to see the reflection when I turn it down

see the reflection when I turn it down

see the reflection when I turn it down make a thinner and thinner it will go

make a thinner and thinner it will go

make a thinner and thinner it will go from being very clear yellowish to

from being very clear yellowish to

from being very clear yellowish to become more bluish at some point it will

become more bluish at some point it will

become more bluish at some point it will be transparent but before that achieved

be transparent but before that achieved

be transparent but before that achieved from yellow to blue and then transparent

from yellow to blue and then transparent

from yellow to blue and then transparent and the reason for that is interactions

and the reason for that is interactions

and the reason for that is interactions happening at this scale so at some point

happening at this scale so at some point

happening at this scale so at some point it’s the blue light portion of the light

it’s the blue light portion of the light

it’s the blue light portion of the light in the room that is reflected to you and

in the room that is reflected to you and

in the room that is reflected to you and these kind of things we can kind of

these kind of things we can kind of

these kind of things we can kind of structure we can understand and we have

structure we can understand and we have

structure we can understand and we have utilized to give certain functions let’s

utilized to give certain functions let’s

utilized to give certain functions let’s say I would like to have a blue ring

say I would like to have a blue ring

say I would like to have a blue ring then I will make it with a very thin

then I will make it with a very thin

then I will make it with a very thin sheet of gold on top and then it will be

sheet of gold on top and then it will be

sheet of gold on top and then it will be blue so it’s a positive

blue so it’s a positive

blue so it’s a positive to do things and at the kind of

to do things and at the kind of

to do things and at the kind of nanoscale that enhance the function and

nanoscale that enhance the function and

nanoscale that enhance the function and this kind of known as scale gives new

this kind of known as scale gives new

this kind of known as scale gives new functionalities to the material so you

functionalities to the material so you

functionalities to the material so you know the poetic table you learn in

know the poetic table you learn in

know the poetic table you learn in school to have all the elements in the

school to have all the elements in the

school to have all the elements in the periodic table and they’re kind of

periodic table and they’re kind of

periodic table and they’re kind of similar behavior I mean the ones close

similar behavior I mean the ones close

similar behavior I mean the ones close to each other and then more different

to each other and then more different

to each other and then more different when if you’re far away far apart but

but we can also measure how energy is

but we can also measure how energy is flowing at the nanoscale and any of flow

flowing at the nanoscale and any of flow

flowing at the nanoscale and any of flow is a representation of what we are doing

is a representation of what we are doing

is a representation of what we are doing so it represents happenings on the

so it represents happenings on the surface or in the material and then the

surface or in the material and then the

surface or in the material and then the third thing that we now started to be

third thing that we now started to be

third thing that we now started to be able to do is to follow these things

able to do is to follow these things

able to do is to follow these things over time so we are kind of creating a

over time so we are kind of creating a

over time so we are kind of creating a space with three axes one is precision

space with three axes one is precision

space with three axes one is precision in in in Xyz spatial location and then

in in in Xyz spatial location and then

in in in Xyz spatial location and then our axis is time what happens as a

our axis is time what happens as a

our axis is time what happens as a function of time and the third axis is

function of time and the third axis is

function of time and the third axis is what happens as a function of energy so

what happens as a function of energy so

what happens as a function of energy so with these three axes we can

with these three axes we can

with these three axes we can characterize a material to all extents

characterize a material to all extents

characterize a material to all extents we don’t need more so these three things

we don’t need more so these three things

we don’t need more so these three things characterize the material and we’re

characterize the material and we’re

characterize the material and we’re starting to get this kind of

starting to get this kind of

starting to get this kind of understanding in these three axes and

understanding in these three axes and

understanding in these three axes and the reason for that is the electronic

the reason for that is the electronic

the reason for that is the electronic revolution because the electronic

revolution because the electronic

revolution because the electronic revolution the electronics as we know

revolution the electronics as we know

revolution the electronics as we know today has been going on for

today has been going on for years with downscaling downscaling

years with downscaling downscaling

years with downscaling downscaling things in the solid state in the silicon

things in the solid state in the silicon

things in the solid state in the silicon chips that we have it in our computers

chips that we have it in our computers

chips that we have it in our computers based on making structures at the micron

based on making structures at the micron

based on making structures at the micron scales and nowadays at the nanoscale so

scales and nowadays at the nanoscale so

scales and nowadays at the nanoscale so the kind of electronics revolution has

the kind of electronics revolution has

the kind of electronics revolution has driven us to get understanding of nature

driven us to get understanding of nature

driven us to get understanding of nature at the nanoscale so everything is kind

at the nanoscale so everything is kind

at the nanoscale so everything is kind of connected right so it’s not a

of connected right so it’s not a

of connected right so it’s not a coincidence things happens through a

coincidence things happens through a

coincidence things happens through a certain way and then now we have this
