How Does a Transistor Work? techNyouvids 2013-07-28 | Supported by TechNYou: http://bit.ly/19bBX5GSubscribe to Veritasium - it's FREE! http://bit.ly/YSWpWmHow does a transistor work? Our lives depend on this device. When I mentioned to people that I was doing a video on transistors, they would say "as in a transistor radio?" Yes! That's exactly what I mean, but it goes so much deeper than that. After the transistor was invented in 1947 one of the first available consumer technologies it was applied to was radios, so they could be made portable and higher quality. Hence the line in 'Brown-eyed Girl' - "going down to the old mine with a transistor radio."But more important to our lives today, the transistor made possible the microcomputer revolution, and hence the Internet, and also TVs, mobile phones, fancy washing machines, dishwashers, calculators, satellites, projectors etc. etc. A transistor is based on semiconductor material, usually silicon, which is 'doped' with impurities to carefully change its electrical properties. These n and p-type semiconductors are then put together in different configurations to achieve a desired electrical result. And in the case of the transistor, this is to make a tiny electrical switch. These switches are then connected together to perform computations, store information, and basically make everything electrical work intelligently.Special thanks to PhD Comics for awesome animations: http://bit.ly/16ZXcVY.Music: Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Decisions

How Does a Quantum Computer Work? techNyouvids 2013-06-27 | For more on spin, check out: http://youtu.be/v1_-LsQLwkAThis video was supplied by Veritasium http://www.youtube.com/user/1veritasiumA quantum computer works in a totally different way from a classical computer. Quantum bits or 'qubits' can exist in a superposition state of both zero and one simultaneously. This means that a set of two qubits can be in a superposition of four states, which therefore require four numbers to uniquely identify the state. So the amount of information stored in N qubits is two to the power of N classical bits.Thank you to Andrea Morello and UNSW. For more info, check out: http://bit.ly/17wZ7lt

Fighting malnutrition with biofortified rice techNyouvids 2013-04-10 | Video 3, on what gets a scientist out of bed. Iron deficiency affects about 2 billion people worldwide with often devastating health consequences. University of Melbourne researchers are developing a genetically modified rice that is high in iron to help contribute to the ongoing efforts to reduce this problem. It is being coordinated by Harvest Plus http://www.harvestplus.org So what motivates these two scientists to get out of bed and pursue this research? How much of a difference can they make, if the rice makes it to the paddock? What other issues need to be considered.See TechNyou blogs for further commentaryhttp://technyou.edu.au/2011/09/gm-iron-rich-rice-will-it-suffer-the-same-fate-as-golden-rice/And Uni Melbourne has a podcast interview with Dr Alex Johnson covering this topichttp://upclose.unimelb.edu.au/episode/238-rice-futures-biofortifying-food-crops-better-nutrition

Structural Colour, Soap Films, & Nanotech Security From Butterflies techNyouvids 2013-01-27 | Scientists are being inspired by nature to design the next generation of security devices. Arrays of nanoscale holes create beautiful reflected colours that are almost impossible to forge. This video was made by Veritasium movies, check them out - www.youtube.com/user/1veritasiumSoon these nanoscale security devices could replace holograms. They are many times more reflective than holograms, and although the structures are smaller scale, they are lower aspect ratio and therefore easy to manufacture in bulk.The electron wiggle simulation is from PhET, the best physics simulations ever: http://phet.colorado.eduSpecial thanks to Thomas from Copenhagen who showed me around the city including the science museum where he assisted with the soap bubble demonstration.Clint Landrock is the Chief Technology Officer for Nanotech Securities: http://www.nanosecurity.caMusic is "Firefly in a Fairytale" by Gareth Coker
Secrets of Plant Cell Walls techNyouvids 2012-10-18 | The plant cell wall reveals its secrets to human health and important traits for agriculture. This is the second in the series of, 'what gets a scientist out of bed'.Two plant scientists take you into their world as we explore the genetics controlling the cell wall's production of Beta Glucan and its role as a soluble fibre in human health. Their aim is to increase the levels of Beta Glucan in wheat and rice to improve human gut health, and it ain't easy and it might end up using controversial transgenic technologies, should other breeding options fail and they decide to take that path.
TechNyou Education: Oil Eating Bacteria SEQUEL techNyouvids 2012-10-05 | This is the sequel to the first oil-eating bacteria video. In this episode we explore what I found after 4 weeks of running the experiment. The interesting thing with this experiment is that it raises more questions than it give answers and provides scope for further experimentation by the students to eliminate some of the possible reasons for what we observe.
Decoding Nano techNyouvids 2012-08-31 | NANOTECHNOLOGY It's the biggest technology challenge since the information superhighway and it is revolutionising science. So, what IS Nanotechnology? This video offers an introductory overview of Nanotechnology - exploring the science and processes behind it, its applications in the material world, and its potential to solve global environmental, health, and medical problems. It also reviews consumer concerns and regulatory challenges. The video aims to increase awareness and understanding of these still emerging technologies and the issues they raise.

TechNyou Education: Shape Memory Alloys techNyouvids 2012-07-17 | Shape memory alloys (SMA) are a class of materials referred to as smart materials as they possess the ability to radically change crystal structure or phase at a distinct temperature and also display 'shape memory'. This module focuses on the SMA Nitinol. Using Nitinol, students will explore how these materials work and also learn about and investigate the many applications of SMA. The module begins by posing a number of 'what if' questions to get students thinking about what type of material Shape memory alloys are and how they work. Students are then introduced to Nitinol and explore how shape memory alloys work by conducting an experiment investigating the shape memory properties of Nitinol. The teachers and students guide to this experiment are available at: http://education.technyou.edu.au/view/144/145/investigating-nitinol To view the online discussion hosted by the Australian Science Teachers Association visit: http://moodle.asta.edu.au/course/view.php?id=53
TechNyou Education: Using Diffraction to Measure Nanometres techNyouvids 2012-06-27 | In this experiment students learn how light and diffraction patterns can also be used to measure small things, by using diffraction to measure the diameter of a human hair.

TechNyou Education: Making Gold Nanoparticles techNyouvids 2012-06-07 | This practical experiment can be used as part of a broad introduction to nanotechnology. In it, the bulk properties (classical effects) of materials are compared with the properties at the nanoscale (quantum effects). This comparison highlights the way in which materials acquire new, improved and/or different properties at the nanoscale and how these new properties are leading to the creation of new products and applications. This experiment allows students to observe the changes in gold (through the colour change) as the material is reduced to the nanoscale. The teachers and students guide to this experiment are available at http://education.technyou.edu.au/view/103/111/making-gold-nanoparticlesTo view the online discussion hosted by the Australian Science Teachers Association visit: http://moodle.asta.edu.au/course/view.php?id=53

Going Solar - A PhDs Quest for Affordable Energy techNyouvids 2012-03-21 | A film by TechNyou. First in a series of "What gets a scientist out of bed". Take a journey with Brandon Macdonald, a PhD student at the University of Melbourne's Bio21 Institute, to investigate the future of solar energy. Brandon peers into the quantum world of nanoparticles in an attempt to find ways to turn them into inks that can turn sunlight into electricity. Specifically, he has found a way to produce and incorporate those inks into solar cells more efficiently which they hope will reduce the cost of manufacturing these types of solar cells.
