Ulrich Krull serves as Vice-President at the University of Toronto and Principal at the University of Toronto Mississauga. Ulli can also be found as a leading professor of Analytical Chemistry. His current research explores the use of nanoscale materials and microfluidics chip technologies which can help build devices for the detection of DNA and RNA biomarkers. Krull is a professor of analytical chemistry at the University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM). He holds the endowed AstraZeneca Chair in Biotechnology. He presently serves as Vice-President of the University of Toronto, and as the Principal of the UTM campus. He has also held the positions of Dean of Science, Vice-Principal: Research, and Vice-Principal: Special Initiatives. His research work explores biosensors, bioassays, microfluidics and nanomaterials, to create technology with applications in clinical/medical, forensic, agricultural and environmental areas. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    😍 I love that this type of content is available online for free! Thank you Ted talks and Youtube!
  • @jillstevenson9585
    Is it true that nanotechnolgy is used in the Covid vaccines? If so, who gave this permission for unregulated use of this new technology?
  • @skylandphoenix7301
    What about stimulating or radiating nanoparticles with electromagnetic energy from microwaves? Since we’re just walking antennas, you should be able to read out complete biometrics from a satellite or radar or cell towers.
  • @jasonscroggins5093
    It's not a coincidence that he uses the words sheep and light! Think thinkers!
  • @gizachewdiga
    Nice Lecture!!! adding special topics quantum tunneling through nanocrystals, and transport phenomenon in nanopores media might increase its attractiveness.
  • @saranjimable
    The first thing that comes to my mind..how do you get rid of them out of your body. There would need to a way to destroy it once it serves it purpose because if not there's privacy issues
  • @danmiller2177
    Nanotechnology is used in chemistry/ medicine all time people just don't know...
  • @963freeme
    They have to tell you so when the accuser points their finger they can't say: I didn't know. My mission in life is to free the souls of my friends and family who have been deceived by pharmeikia.
  • @Muradsahar
    I dont understand why the camera is here?
  • @christinepemberton5077
    We wouldn't put these IN somebody... And yet, that's exactly what they're doing! 😡
  • @nessaj4522
    Deep thinking. You have to get into the new world of your mind and learn what to understand. Should be grand to understand the beyond. The develpment of technology can't be done if you don't look or explore fortunate people that get to see things where no man has gone before. I guess this is for explorers only. 😂

    I have been spitting out nanoparticles for months , I put them under uv light and the crystalline and nanos all form into my head and patient records - I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THEY ARE THERE- but they map out a fracture repair in. My jaw - I have millions of photos - I’m terrified
  • @anitramoore9514
    How do nano particles break down in the human body? If we have found that some nano particles are hazardous to our environment but how about the animal models or humans now with Covid 19? Explain please
  • @nessaj4522
    Is color an illusion if you're color blind?
  • @RAKmageddon
    Thumbs up for report not because I 'like' it
