A simple and easy introduction to electricity. It covers electric charge, the discovery of electricity, the nature of electricity and some of the more technical stuff for the classroom for you students.
Blockchain nodes [12 of 20] | Beginner’s Series to: Blockchain
Each blockchain has a series of nodes which are all connected. Some nodes store copies of the entire blockchain, some are for transaction verification, and some are for mining. Learn about the different types of nodes and how they all work together.
How Boston Dynamics Built The Most Advanced Robot
Capable of eye-catching gymnastic feats, lighting-quick machine learning and slick dancefloor bops, Boston Dynamics robots are truly a modern day technological marvel. And whether you think they mark the dawn of a new age of idle leisure for mankind, or represent a grim harbinger of humanity’s inevitable enslavement, you must admit they’re pretty cool from an engineering standpoint. So today, we’re peering under the hood of our future metallic overlords and finding out just how Boston Dynamics build their robots. The most striking feature of Boston Dynamics’ more famous latter-day creations – the adorable, dog-like Spot and the swole, Stormtrooper-esque humanoid Atlas – is that they walk on legs
The quest for Nikola Tesla’s wireless power technology
Nikola Tesla’s biggest dream was a worldwide network of wireless power transmission. He built a lab and a massive prototype transmission tower…that never worked. But, a century later, engineers are chasing the same dreams of wireless power and making some tantalizing headway.
What is a DAO (Decentralised Autonomous Organisation) and how it works
Decentralisation is one of the central principles of #bitcoin and a key factor in its popularity. It removes the middlemen and brings us one step closer to the future. But how can decentralised systems change the world? With DAOs or Decentralised Autonomous Organisations, smart contracts can do things which were once only possible in science fiction.

Nanorobotics & Nanotechnology | Big Changes in Small Science
Nanorobotics is the technology of creating machines or robots at or close to the scale of a nanometer – 1 billionth of a meter. More specifically, nanorobotics refers to the still largely theoretical nanotechnology engineering discipline of designing and building nanorobots.
These aren’t the fictional nanobots of Iron Man or Rick and Morty. A nanorobot, or nanobot, is a popular term for molecules engineered with a unique property that enables them to be programmed to carry out a specific task within the human body. Medical nanotechnology is a reality and being actively researched and developed.
Structural DNA nanotechnology, known as DNA origami, has emerged as a versatile approach to fabricate nanodevices, nanomaterials and nanoparticles with complex nanoscale geometry, functionalities, and programmed mechanical and dynamic properties.
Nanorobotics can also revolutionize industry. Nano metamaterials are much stronger than steel — and much lighter. They can be used for environmental clean up of the Earth’s air and water, more efficiently than ever before.
Nanotechnology can also allow us to connect our brains directly to the internet. This is something the futurist Ray Kurzweil predicted would occur by 2030. Are you ready to wire your brain into the cloud?
With new technologies, comes new dangers. Nanotech innovation is world-changing and should be encouraged. But, we also have to acknowledge the risks.
What Happens During a Quantum Jump?
Since the very beginning of quantum mechanics, a debate has raged about how to interpret its bizarre predictions. And at the heart and origin of that debate is the quantum jump or quantum leap – the seemingly miraculous and instantaneous transitions of quantum systems that have always defied observation or prediction. At least, until now.
Erratum: Figures in episode should be Minev et al. (2019), not Minney et al. (2009).
Spam Bots are Destroying the Internet – GPT 3 AI
Spam Bots are becoming an increasing issue for a lot of business models and websites. Ranging from Fake Reviews, to Comments and likes Bots can deceive users and customers. Bots using GPT 3 and other Machine Learning Algorithms can seriously impact the entire internet. In this video I wanted to discuss this topic a little bit and speak about possible solutions or changes that could come in the future.
