Todd Krauss on why size matters

I’m so glad to finally get to post this video as Todd was not only our first confirmed speaker, but one whose talk I was looking forward to most. As a science geek, any new technology gets my blood pumping, and nanotechnology is one of those that has tremendous potential to literally reshape the world in which we live.

During the talk, Todd refers to a quote about lasers made in the 60s “it’s a solution looking for a problem”. With 50 years of experience behind us, it turned out to be a world-changing solution indeed. Nanotechnology is like that as well, but I think a lot of uses are already being salivated about…it’s just a matter of time before they start to be implemented.

Todd’s talk gives a great overview of the current state of the technologies, advancements his team has made as well as potential future uses. I was fortunate to be invited to Todd’s talk the next week at the Rochester Section of the American Chemical Society‘s meeting, and wanted to give them a hearty thank you for inviting me!
