Im a physicist in Nanofabrication. This is impressive on another level. You made a video that children can watch that has more science inside than most lecture courses at university
Great comment from the Nanophysicist guy! Exactly what I wish I could have said. And done so credibly and concisely. This video seemed a whole new level for Mr. Rober. It was technical enough that it allowed me to finally realize Mark Rober is currently one of the nearest this era can offer to Richard Feynman or Steven Hawking or the like. Or at least working at or near their level in his field of mechanical engineering.
@@hamza-chaudhry University courses goes wide, not deep. Unless it's a course specifically designed around this subject/thematic, you don't get too much details about the content. For instance, I don't think you see how carbon nanotube are created (9:40) . Or how you can build stuff with DNA (not from DNA)
reconhecei a terra. E chegaram à montanha de Efraim, até à casa de Mica, e passaram ali a noite. E quando eles estavam junto da casa de Mica, reconheceram a voz do moço, do levita; e dirigindo-se para lá, lhe disseram: Quem te trouxe aqui? Que fazes aqui? E que é que tens aqui? E ele lhes disse: Assim e assim me tem feito Mica; pois me tem contratado, e eu lhe sirvo de sacerdote. Então lhe disseram: Consulta a Deus, para que possamos saber se prosperará o caminho que seguimos. E disse-lhes o sacerdote: Ide em paz; o caminho que seguis está perante o Senhor. Então foram-se aqueles cinco homens, e chegaram a Laís; e viram que o povo que havia no meio dela estava seguro, conforme ao costume dos sidônios, quieto e confiado; nem havia autoridade alguma do reino que por qualquer coisa
This might be one of the best explanations of DNA manipulation I have ever seen. Well done just for that. Using the Nerf project as a vehicle to explain such complex science in a way that people can understand is extremely clever. Gives me hope for the future knowing there are absolute geniuses like Pallav and all his colleagues out there doing this kind of work.
This guy pulls off something that is clearly extremely difficult to achieve and compresses it in a 20 minute video coupled with happy music. Well done.
It's not that visible light can't reflect off the object, it's that it won't carry the density of information we're looking for. The whole object would look like a single blur with no detail.
I wonder if there's a way of using some kind of micro shifting of the object to increase resolution - similar to some cameras or apps, that use device/sensor motion to increase the resolution, by multi exposure. @@JWQweqOPDH
hello Mr. Mark Rober I am a second-year middle school student who is doing a homework activity for my ethics class. Thanks to Mark Rober's wonderful science videos, I have come to love science even more. Please make more great videos in the future! 😊😊😊
I think this is probably his best video yet. Every time I was amazed, he went even further. Each step was beyond what I thought was possible. That's a rare feeling to get as an adult, and it makes you feel young again. Thanks Mark
I completely agree!! I am passionate about learning and science so I tend to try and keep up on what ever is happening but there are industries where I don’t even know where to start! I was learning more about Crispr the other day and this was so fun to come across! Who knew you could form DNA into actual shapes! And I loved learning about the tiny useful machines! It was astonishing to me that he covered so much information in such little time all while making it impossibly easy to understand.
As a recent graduate in the engineering field and 3D printing experience now working with semiconductors, this video has been one of the most interesting videos Mark has ever put out. I would love to work on something like this with Mark one day.
So unreal... If there were videos like this being made when I was little, it would have probably inspired me to pursue engineering. I'm happy it's here for today's kids to see. Doubt you'll see this Mark, but if you do, just know I'm glad there are people like you out there. You're doing great work.
Probably build a couple strands then amplified each component via PCR - polymerase chain reaction, which uses a special DNA building molecule "taq polymerase" from a very heat resistant organism. Could be wrong though.
1:53 What a heartwarming display of affection between student and teacher! Mark hugging his professor so enthusiastically really shows the wonderful bond they share!
Mark you're a treasure to humanity. Seriously, thank you for doing what you do. Ive been feeling dejected lately over the online discourse talking about how the public school teachers are reporting their students being very behind and lacking motivation to want to engage at all. But your content I truly believe is the spark that absolutely will be the start of so many kids today becoming adults in the future who pursue STEM for the betterment of mankind. Your content is the exact kind of content that we should be celebrating as a society. You can tell that you truly care for this world and you want to do what you can to encourage and inspire people around you. I hope you continue to keep doing what you are doing, it is truly a great service to the world.
He loaded and cocked all the DNA nerf guns with a flash of blue light. A slight tap of the test tube on the lab bench discharged them all - and leveled the Salk Insitute.
The end of Mark's videos, when he relates the silly projects to real world science and engineering happening around the globe, always gives me the chills.
One lockdown 3AM night couple years ago I stumbled across a video of a dude playing with squirrels in his backyard I enjoyed it so much and decided to watch more, since then I have bookmarked and saved each and every one of these, they went from being just entertainment to fully immersive learning experiences. This is the kind of thing I want to do with my life. Currently a junior engineering students and these videos are really fuel for the work. One day ...🙏🏽🙏🏽
These videos are the highlight of the month whenever Mark releases them. They're entertaining, educating, and so exciting to watch. Thank you Mark, for these wonderful videos
I think you may have missed the point. The videos aren't claiming overunity on their designs. They're claiming they run on water, and they do. It doesn't matter if the process is not 100% efficient because NOTHING is. The battery partially recharges while the car moves anyway.
Just a clarification: no friction doesn't mean no wear. Unless you use a material that is ideally elastic, your compliant mechanism is gonna suffer some fatigue with use
Mark, Lately as an engineer and a teacher I feel kind of low about what we are doing and where we are going as a people. Then I watched this video and I have come away feeling hopeful. Thank you! This was very cool.
Same! Whenever I'm feeling pessimistic about the world, I come to watch Mark's videos to remind myself that heroes don't always have the loudest microphones. There are people like Mark doing incredible work everyday.
As someone who has worked in a DNA origami lab and sat at a computer for countless hours designing staples (just to build a rectangle mind you), thanks for highlighting this technology. It’s pretty cool stuff!
This video had me wondering, and I'm hoping that you might be able to provide some insight here, how are the staples actually made? Design aside (I would still love to learn about the design) but physically, once you know which bases belong in the staple, what tools are used to actually construct the staple?
Mark, you and your team outdid yourselves! Thanks for mentioning the names of the students and staff not just dept heads. It’s great to see the credit get spread around
Thank you Mark! You filled us with hope about the future. It's really inspiring that so many great scientists around the world are working tirelessly for a better future. Thank you so much for showing us that!
What I love most about this video is 19:25. Give people like these a fun yet seemingley rediciulous project and you never know what kind of idea it sparks in their head.
I preferred 8:49 if you listen to what he says in between the censoring it is very clear he wasn't saying the actual build instructions (listen very carefully next time you are here or just use subtitles)
@@ItsAllApsyop As you are - genuinley - curious, 1. I'm surprised myself. Sorry I can't answer any better as I don't know how I made it this long. And 2. It's one of those words I have a hard time to memorize the spelling. Or maybe it's the same reason you mixed three words into one and you wrote "four" instead of for.
-ну что потомки, как вы там в 2024? Покоряете космос, вышли в 4ое измерение, летаете со скоростью света? -сегодня мы собрали микроскопический пистолет из которого застрелили муравья.
I love how Mark helps share what is the bleeding edge of the new science, but putting them together in a fun format and interesting projects. When you think its an impossible idea, there is someone out there that is able to help with this.
Having actual students working on this problem is so cool. You could've gone to the top scientists or physicists with this problem, but no, you went to the school and got the students to use their head and work out a solution for this. I really respect that.
Every single time they made it smaller I was like "well this is it they can't possibly get any smaller than that." and by the end I was just totally in awe.
This is genuinely one of the best videos I've seen in a long time, just incredible what people can achieve. And the Nerf guns were cool and all.. but the atomic force microscope was the craziest thing I've ever seen. The fact that humans have gone from banging rocks together in a cave to using machines to measure the distance of one atom, is mind-boggling.
Humans never collectively sat around in caves banging rocks together. We started as farmers with tools. The first metalworker was one of Adam's sons. First textile manufacturer was one of Adam's sons. On and on. Pretty arrogant to think we can do all this on our own.
@@TehButterflyEffect LOL I just realized ur comment says people just had these skills and tools and that's where it began XD bro definitely trolling, please go back to school if you aren't.
Imagine growing up in the 70's, 80's, 90's when all the nerds and geeks were being bullied and ridiculed and called losers for being nerds and geeks. Yet they are the only people changing the world and showing what humanity is really capable of. If only the nerds and geeks of the world are looked up to as the amazing people they are.
If they are considered nerf guns, I believe that Mark is now the owner of the largest collection of nerf guns, assuming he got to keep the little ones.
The size of a collection, for world record purposes, is typically determined by the number of *unique* items. Many copies of the same item wouldn't contribute to the size of the collection.
A lot of work with DNA is done using chance. Notice how they had to use electrophoresis to separate out the bits of DNA that didn’t form nerf guns. It’s because they knew that if they put in the proper structures and let the DNA bind to itself as they knew it would, that chances of it creating nerf guns was pretty high, but chances are there were a LOT more of the failed pieces that didn’t bind correctly, which they separated out.
DNA is a polymer and each single strand of DNA is a sequence of monomers called nucleotides that come in 4 major types: A, T, C, G. When two DNA strands come together to form a double-stranded form, they normally must follow the rule of complementary: A must be opposite to T, and C to G. In DNA origami, each staple DNA sequence is typically long enough to be close to a unique sequence inside the test tube, therefore it is designed to be complementary to specific counterparts in the scaffold DNA. If two complementary DNA strands are placed in solution, they spontaneously would bind into the double-stranded form, reasons for that arise from the laws of thermodynamics. Here, given enough time and preferably a temperature ramp, the staples will eventually "find" their complementary places in the scaffold. The whole process is governed by DNA self-assembly properties, there are CAD tools that can generate the sequences for staples based on your scaffold sequence and the design of DNA origami nanostructure you make. Then its just mixing scaffold and staples
@@volmyk6196 Thanks! How do they keep all of the strands near enough to their complementary strands to bind? With so many in use, wouldn’t they get jumbled up? Is it that each piece in each gun is unique so that they will each find their unique compliment? How do they make each strand?
That part is helped by the temperature they are incubated at in the little "oven". The pairing up of those nucleotide sequences have different energy requirements, heating up paired up DNA is how we normally unzip the strands and get single stranded DNA. You start off at this high temp where nothing can pair up, then you cool it down and hold it at ideal temps that favor particular sequence pairings. In this way you can help direct the assembly of the finale product. As annealing temperatures are easily calculated and used all the time in DNA amplification.
I am a first-semester nanotechnology student at my university in Mexico and I can swear that no one has any idea how beautiful the potential of this career is, especially for its applications in favor of a better world, nanotechnology is the future of science and all the curious are each molecule hypercharged with enthusiasm and love for Science ✨
Mr. Beast can actually still win. The same technology can be used as "A Boy And His Atom: The World's Smallest Movie" to make a Nerf Gun that is even smaller than DNA. And there even might be a way to "fire" it
Another incredibly well made video. Thank you so much Mark for being an absolute inspiration for millions of people. I’ve had so much fun watching your videos in the last several years, and now my 9yo son is following the steps and is developing a more and more engineering mindset everyday. Thank you truly.
This is absolutely incredible. I had no idea this was even POSSSIBLE. Great job on this one. I clicked to see a world record, and what I got was something 3,000,000x cooler. I never knew technology like this EXISTED! This is absolutely incredible.
Я раньше думал, откуда люди знают в 21 веке, что при таких обстоятельствах, случится процесс, в итоге которого будет полезный результат? Но понял что учёные как дети экспериментируют! Они делают всё и вся, что только и придёт в ум!
19:03 - 19:17 Literally had my jaw on the floor for a solid minute Mark. As in the fine words of Bill Cypher, "Reality is an illusion..." and after seeing someone *BUILD WITH DNA* I think this statement is true. Never fail to shock and entertain us Mark, amazing! ❤😁❤
Jocelyn, you are the real MVP. Spoken like a true scientist "although there is no label on it." Put a label on your stuff. When in doubt, throw it out. That is the motto of my lab. 18:09
This was like those 3D rendering videos that show scale of how big/small things are but it was 3D printing. This technology is mind boggling. Also I live in Provo lol
@somebody3271 what are they really doing at that lab with DNA? Lol probably medicine. But the anime nerd in me imagines they are creating new lifeforms lol
I love that these young people are so imaginative, creative and intelligent and that they have such resources. Like Mark, it gives me hope for humanity.
I LOVE compliant mechanisms. I remember Derek's video on the subject and was fascinated by it ever since. The ingenuity is mind-blowing...and applications like the lens cleaner are so clever.
Even small ideas can give rise to big things. :D Much respect to the teams out at BYU. They all seemed so passionate about their field, it's contagious even through a screen!
It's to bad I can't hear about BYU not think of its discrimination to the LGBTQIA+ community that still happens to today, its archaic honour code and connection to LDS church.
I really appreciate that you covered aspects of what's involved in nanotechnology. I feel like it is easier to show off on RUclips a mechanical or electrical engineering project, as the overhead costs for micro and nanoscale implementations are often very high. As someone who works in the field, it's great to see what nanotechnology can do, and I hope this inspires others to enter into the field!
SO fun fact, a comedy sketch from about 6 years ago (made by studio C) actually mentioned the making of the world's smallest nerf gun. Interesting to see how far that idea has come! (also as an engineering student, I find everything about the design on these things deeply facinating!)
I would LOVE if Mark created a second channel aimed at engineers themselves- I appreciate the explanations that everyone can understand, but so many of these videos bring me so many questions that are more in-depth that I would love to hear him explain more
Thing is, such videos unfortunately take away from the time and resources needed to make these kinds of videos. I think he's wise to make things as accessibly explained as they are because it inspires people more generally. Having said that, as a fellow engineer, it would be nice, no question.
This episode is peak mark rober. 100s of combined hours of effort, on top of a century or more of combined expert experience, delivered in a tasty 20 minutes.
i LOVED the detail of HOW a nerf gun works in the beginning. Mark Rober is the best RUclipsr out there, making science fun for kids, adults, dads, moms, everyone.
This was actually amazing!! It made a ton of sense, it was easy to understand, and I genuinely learned something new today. Thanks Mark, this is incredible!! Keep being greater and more inspiring everyday!

What I love most about this video is 19:25. Give people like these a fun yet seemingley rediciulous project and you never know what kind of idea it sparks in their head.
I preferred 8:49 if you listen to what he says in between the censoring it is very clear he wasn't saying the actual build instructions (listen very carefully next time you are here or just use subtitles)
I'm genuinely curious as 2 how you can be on this planetfouras long as you have been, and 2 not understand that you spelled ridiculous incorrectly..
@@ItsAllApsyop As you are - genuinley - curious, 1. I'm surprised myself. Sorry I can't answer any better as I don't know how I made it this long. And 2. It's one of those words I have a hard time to memorize the spelling. Or maybe it's the same reason you mixed three words into one and you wrote "four" instead of for.
@Kathlanus I use voice to text. I also use finger swipe, so they both make errors, but I clearly know the difference between 'for and four' lol
I prefer 18:48 😉

As an engineer, watching this is like seeing art being created.
As a regular person who isn't an engineer, I too, can confirm that watching this was like seeing art being created.
I love how Mark helps share what is the bleeding edge of the new science, but putting them together in a fun format and interesting projects. When you think its an impossible idea, there is someone out there that is able to help with this.
this video fills me with joy
As an engineering student at BYU, this was so fun to watch. Definitely an inspiration when the classes are hard!
BYUI IS BETTER!!!
Is the engineering school there just for mormons? And/or is it a leading uni for engineering?

@@jacquescatechnically no but you’d better be prepared!
@@jacquescait’s definitely not just for lds people, most people there are but everyone is welcome
Having actual students working on this problem is so cool. You could've gone to the top scientists or physicists with this problem, but no, you went to the school and got the students to use their head and work out a solution for this. I really respect that.
Every single time they made it smaller I was like "well this is it they can't possibly get any smaller than that." and by the end I was just totally in awe.
normally such a scenario would make you progressively more disappointed
The collective mind and spirit of human beings together knows no bounds
Mark slowly becoming the Willy Wonka of engineering. Just incredible and inspiring on so many levels.
He is most likely doing more to get people into engineering than any other person who ever lived. Amazing work.

This is genuinely one of the best videos I've seen in a long time, just incredible what people can achieve. And the Nerf guns were cool and all.. but the atomic force microscope was the craziest thing I've ever seen. The fact that humans have gone from banging rocks together in a cave to using machines to measure the distance of one atom, is mind-boggling.
Humans never collectively sat around in caves banging rocks together. We started as farmers with tools. The first metalworker was one of Adam's sons. First textile manufacturer was one of Adam's sons. On and on. Pretty arrogant to think we can do all this on our own.
@@TehButterflyEffect Of course you have proof of your words, don't you?
@@TehButterflyEffect somebody has never seen cave markings x.x HOWEVER, "cavemen" did not exist with the dinosaurs.
@@TehButterflyEffect LOL I just realized ur comment says people just had these skills and tools and that's where it began XD bro definitely trolling, please go back to school if you aren't.
Imagine growing up in the 70's, 80's, 90's when all the nerds and geeks were being bullied and ridiculed and called losers for being nerds and geeks. Yet they are the only people changing the world and showing what humanity is really capable of. If only the nerds and geeks of the world are looked up to as the amazing people they are.
If they are considered nerf guns, I believe that Mark is now the owner of the largest collection of nerf guns, assuming he got to keep the little ones.
The size of a collection, for world record purposes, is typically determined by the number of *unique* items. Many copies of the same item wouldn't contribute to the size of the collection.
@@bobbobert9379collecting the same item is still a collection
@@9BallBory not by official world records standards it isn't.
@@bobbobert9379but not every one is the exact same some have different shapes if you look closely so he does have the largest collection of nerf guns

Oh! Awesome! I wish I had access to such content at my school days!!!
Mind blown. Most amazing thing you’ve done too date. I’d love more detail on how the DNA was self building.
A lot of work with DNA is done using chance. Notice how they had to use electrophoresis to separate out the bits of DNA that didn’t form nerf guns. It’s because they knew that if they put in the proper structures and let the DNA bind to itself as they knew it would, that chances of it creating nerf guns was pretty high, but chances are there were a LOT more of the failed pieces that didn’t bind correctly, which they separated out.
DNA is a polymer and each single strand of DNA is a sequence of monomers called nucleotides that come in 4 major types: A, T, C, G. When two DNA strands come together to form a double-stranded form, they normally must follow the rule of complementary: A must be opposite to T, and C to G. In DNA origami, each staple DNA sequence is typically long enough to be close to a unique sequence inside the test tube, therefore it is designed to be complementary to specific counterparts in the scaffold DNA. If two complementary DNA strands are placed in solution, they spontaneously would bind into the double-stranded form, reasons for that arise from the laws of thermodynamics. Here, given enough time and preferably a temperature ramp, the staples will eventually "find" their complementary places in the scaffold. The whole process is governed by DNA self-assembly properties, there are CAD tools that can generate the sequences for staples based on your scaffold sequence and the design of DNA origami nanostructure you make. Then its just mixing scaffold and staples
@@volmyk6196 Thanks! How do they keep all of the strands near enough to their complementary strands to bind? With so many in use, wouldn’t they get jumbled up? Is it that each piece in each gun is unique so that they will each find their unique compliment? How do they make each strand?
from one scientist to another, thanks for explaining in simple terms. @@volmyk6196
That part is helped by the temperature they are incubated at in the little "oven". The pairing up of those nucleotide sequences have different energy requirements, heating up paired up DNA is how we normally unzip the strands and get single stranded DNA. You start off at this high temp where nothing can pair up, then you cool it down and hold it at ideal temps that favor particular sequence pairings. In this way you can help direct the assembly of the finale product. As annealing temperatures are easily calculated and used all the time in DNA amplification.
I love how mark goes from talking about life-changing inventions than to talking about the most random stuff ever.
all with playing the pvz roof level music
It's always just so marvelous to see people like Mark still geek out like a kid with conviction in an incredibly complex adult field...
Yeah.
“Umm guys I think I’m better than mark Rober” -🤓

He’s so hot! Smart, enthusiastic, optimistic, passionate, fun-loving, and so down to earth.
Yeah Mark thanks very much ❤❤❤❤
I am a first-semester nanotechnology student at my university in Mexico and I can swear that no one has any idea how beautiful the potential of this career is, especially for its applications in favor of a better world, nanotechnology is the future of science and all the curious are each molecule hypercharged with enthusiasm and love for Science ✨
its crazy how far mark has come. 8 years ago, he was showing us how to make a watermelon smoothie and now he is breaking 4 records in one video!
I think it's even more amazing that an idea of a toy unexpectedly can be a potential solution to a complicated problem at the end.
Mr. Beast can actually still win. The same technology can be used as "A Boy And His Atom: The World's Smallest Movie" to make a Nerf Gun that is even smaller than DNA. And there even might be a way to "fire" it
"We found a dead ant outside"... Minutes before that: "The ant was not intimidated at all! It even took our gun!"
We see what you did there, Mark!

Another incredibly well made video. Thank you so much Mark for being an absolute inspiration for millions of people. I’ve had so much fun watching your videos in the last several years, and now my 9yo son is following the steps and is developing a more and more engineering mindset everyday. Thank you truly.
Thanks for putting your two cents in on our behalf. I mean, two dollars. Almost.
This is absolutely incredible. I had no idea this was even POSSSIBLE. Great job on this one. I clicked to see a world record, and what I got was something 3,000,000x cooler. I never knew technology like this EXISTED! This is absolutely incredible.
We don’t deserve someone as incredible as Mark, he’s such an amazing person and his teaching of random engineering is so inspiring it’s insane
He is awesome! And a BYU grad!
Я раньше думал, откуда люди знают в 21 веке, что при таких обстоятельствах, случится процесс, в итоге которого будет полезный результат? Но понял что учёные как дети экспериментируют! Они делают всё и вся, что только и придёт в ум!

Literally had my jaw on the floor for a solid minute Mark.
As in the fine words of Bill Cypher, "Reality is an illusion..." and after seeing someone *BUILD WITH DNA* I think this statement is true.
Never fail to shock and entertain us Mark, amazing! ❤😁❤
I used to be a fan of Mark Rober, but after watching this incredible video, I am a whole air conditioner.

I love that these young people are so imaginative, creative and intelligent and that they have such resources. Like Mark, it gives me hope for humanity.

I LOVE compliant mechanisms. I remember Derek's video on the subject and was fascinated by it ever since. The ingenuity is mind-blowing...and applications like the lens cleaner are so clever.
Even small ideas can give rise to big things. :D Much respect to the teams out at BYU. They all seemed so passionate about their field, it's contagious even through a screen!
Yes sit
It's to bad I can't hear about BYU not think of its discrimination to the LGBTQIA+ community that still happens to today, its archaic honour code and connection to LDS church.
This was insane! The tiny nerf gun's beyond tiny and I'm just mind blown by the science behind the process. Amazing stuff Mark!
Mark Rober was at the FIRST World Championship for the 2023-2024 season. He shot t-shirts out of Nerf guns and made a speech. Pretty awesome.
I really appreciate that you covered aspects of what's involved in nanotechnology. I feel like it is easier to show off on RUclips a mechanical or electrical engineering project, as the overhead costs for micro and nanoscale implementations are often very high. As someone who works in the field, it's great to see what nanotechnology can do, and I hope this inspires others to enter into the field!
This is insanely incredible! I didn't even know DNA could be fragmented like that to form junctions!
SO fun fact, a comedy sketch from about 6 years ago (made by studio C) actually mentioned the making of the world's smallest nerf gun. Interesting to see how far that idea has come!
(also as an engineering student, I find everything about the design on these things deeply facinating!)
Mind blowing to the next level. I’m so impressed with your knowledge and dedication to your craft it gives hope to solving problems

I would LOVE if Mark created a second channel aimed at engineers themselves- I appreciate the explanations that everyone can understand, but so many of these videos bring me so many questions that are more in-depth that I would love to hear him explain more
Thing is, such videos unfortunately take away from the time and resources needed to make these kinds of videos. I think he's wise to make things as accessibly explained as they are because it inspires people more generally.
Having said that, as a fellow engineer, it would be nice, no question.

I love how Mark always makes sure to go back and include his favorite mentors and teachers into his videos ❤
Because he knows they made him who he is. If it wasn't for those people, he wouldn't be famous.
