It's well known as an irritant and has been recorded as a cause for third degree burns. And to be fair everything is "safe" in moderation. Perhaps it would be okay to consume a very small amount of it dissolved in water or if it's already contained in what we eat however saying it's not toxic is incorrect.

    Using these to reconnect severed spine signals would be interesting. They could even grab a nerve and pull it towards the other broken nerve long enough for them to fuse and heal, then it could retreat out of the body (I'm assuming a strong external magnetic matrix is needed to drive the little dude, so you couldn't just leave it there. Unless the slime could be 'set' kind of how UV light sets some materials)

    • @JeremyMarvel
      @JeremyMarvel 2 года назад +62

      In the paper, the magnetic slime is 90% water by weight, and the authors freeze-dried the material to study its rheological properties. So “setting” in situ seems plausible, but not practical. I’m curious how its conductive and structural properties would be affected. The SEM images of the dried material show a pretty dense matrix, and it’s possible the surface would provide enough friction to keep tissue in place for a while.

    • @benjikrafter
      @benjikrafter 2 года назад +34

      I don’t think leaving it in would be all that practical over time. Maybe for short periods of time, but just enough to allow a more permanent replacement within a few days.
      Tiny magnetic fields aren’t dangerous to humans that much, however I can imagine a gradual issue arising as it sits in one place for an extended period of time.

This is how we'll get text-to-physical. Because Jarvis knows everything about us, it will know exactly how to build a hue-man down to the bone.
      Tiny bots that form a liquid controlled by a super computer that will eventually be used to create hue-man beings.

    The part that’s always left out of these videos is the massive setup just off camera that includes the ancillary equipment (pneumatic pumps, power systems, electromagnets, etc.) and the actual computer controlling everything. Autonomy also requires sensing.
    It’s a really neat idea, and I see a lot of potential as a component of future technologies. I look forward to reading their papers once they learn more about the material properties.

    • @JeremyMarvel
      @JeremyMarvel 2 года назад +85

      Okay, a follow-up. I just read the original paper, and I’d say the potential for this technology is significantly more than what is covered in this video.
      As a robot, it’s largely impractical. The slime robot is controlled using a set of 3DoF robotic arms with permanent, rotating, spherical magnets at the tool flange. Spinning the magnets is how the researchers were able to make the slime loop back on itself. The rheological properties of the slime make it such that the time frame is minutes for actuation rather than milliseconds.
      It’s actually the material properties that highlight the true potential of this technology. Being non-Newtonian, the slime can be cleanly cut, as was demonstrated in this video. Being able to be electrically severed is important, as it opens up the material for being used as part of a more complex circuit. Simultaneously, the stretching and self-healing properties mean it can be leveraged as a semiconductor in flexible applications. In the paper, the authors even demonstrate this by making a strain sensor by sandwiching the slime between two strips of stretchable tape to measure deflection. Using this in a capacitor should be simple in comparison.

    The idea is nice, but I would like a follow up video where you explain how it works, all you told us about the functionality is that is "magnetic magic". Does it need a huge electromagnet array stuff to control it from outside? Or is somehow controlled from the inside? If it's the second option, does it have like a capsule hidden into the material that control the rest of the stuff? This felt like a video made only from the abstract of the source... To be honest, ASAP science used to make much higher quality videos...

    • @mike7546
      @mike7546 2 года назад +75

      yeah its a very low quality video, like its nothing new, even saying its a robot and comparing it to nano tech is quite a stretch. The video is incredibly sped up too so you dont know how it moves in real time. Its probably controlled by powerful external magnets, and coupled with its possible toxicity, its usability in the human body is still really quite restricted.
      I understand that we could now direct magnets and magnetic fields, but i dont think its to the extent that we could finely control a small piece within the human body. Even if we could do that the machine needed for it would probably be gigantic like an MRI and it would be too expensive. Plus this kind of procedure, pinpointing drug use to a certain area in the stomach of all places would require endoscopy, i highly doubt an endoscope could work properly under the influence of powerful magnets. At that point it would be more cost efficient to just use traditional medical procedures...

      sure but not like this concept is advanced or anything. this is literally, just magenetic slime. the rest of the video is going "wow isnt this coooool, wow this would be really cool if it actually was a robot and could actually be controlled without a human moving it with a magent, woooooow"

    This reminds me of that episode of The Outer Limits. The guy injected himself with nanobots, conducted self tests and ended up growing eyes in the back of his head and gills on his neck amongst other external bodily defenses.

      His wife was infected in the end as well. The nanobots try to make him unkillable.
