The future of nanomaterials | 8/19 | UPV

Описание: Título: The future of nanomaterials


Descripción automática: In this video, a material science lecturer at a polytechnic university discusses the significance of nanomaterials, particularly in the context of building and urban development. He traces the origins of nanomaterials to early discussions in the field, noting a physicist's pivotal role in introducing the concept. The lecturer explains that advancements in microscopy and other techniques have enabled the manipulation and positioning of materials at the nano-scale, which has vast implications for various applications.

Specifically, he highlights the use of nanomaterials in areas such as water harvesting, sustainable agriculture, energy storage and production, and architectural design—all of which have the potential to contribute to the development of smart, sustainable cities. He also touches on the role of nanomaterials in medicine, such as the design of vaccines and their relationship to advances in quantum computing and artificial intelligence.

Moreover, the video addresses the environmental aspects of nanomaterials, with an emphasis on energy-efficient processes and clean transport solutions, like fuel cells that emit only water. The lecturer suggests that integrating these technologies into existing infrastructure can help cities adapt to dynamic needs.

He concludes by mentioning the prospects for nanomachines and the ongoing exploration of their applications. The lecturer emphasizes the importance of a circular approach to material use, facilitated by nanotechnology's ability to break down and reuse components with minimal energy consumption. This, he believes, will be a key factor in the future of smart, sustainable city design and urban living.
