There's a fun video on bonus material for the movie where with a neat group of people, we talk about it because it has really profound implications back here on Earth about how we live sustainably.
Yeah, go through primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary.
You extract properties like conducting, insulating, semiconducting, magnetic, dielectric, flexural.
These are the kind of roughly 20 properties.
With those...
Those are enough for us to assemble logic and they're enough for us to assemble actuation.
With logic and actuation, we can make micro robots.
The micro robots can build bigger robots.
The bigger robots can then take the building block materials and make the structural elements that you then do to make construction.
And then you boot up through the stages of a technological civilization.
Oh, I skipped over that.
But my favorite sensor is a step response.
So if you just make a step...
and measure the response to the electric field that ranges from user interfaces to positioning to material properties.
And if you do it at higher frequencies, you get chemistry.
And you can get all of that just from a step in an electric field.
So for example, once you have time resolution in logic,
Something as simple as two electrodes let you do amazingly capable sensing.
So we've been talking about all the work I do.
There's a story about how it happens.
