really important work.
zbilja važan posao.
that science into new technologies --
tu znanost u nove tehnologije --
that could actually impact people.
zaista pomogle ljudima.
nanomaterijali --
them so interesting --
a statue out of a pile of dust.
iz hrpe prašine.
that are small enough to work with them.
dovoljno mali da rade s nanomaterijalima.
it wouldn't really matter,
baš i imalo utjecaja,
place millions of particles together
milijune čestica jednu po jednu
and all of the excitement
promise and excitement.
uzbuđenje.

that's a really important one.

it's not gradual.

and our group's mission
by employing carbon nanotubes,

provide a path to continue this pace.
da nastavimo s ovim tempom.

that's impossible to work with.

just to make one single computer chip.
da napravim jedan računalni čip.
it's like this undying problem.
to je kao onaj besmrtni problem.
"Ajmo prestati.
that needs to be done?"
a trebali bismo učiniti? "
it would make her upset.
to bi je uznemirilo.
to make this a success?"
uspjeh?
that the statue has to build itself.

They have to do it for themselves.
Moraju to napraviti same.
and this is not trivial,
i to nije trivijalno,
this is not that alien of a problem.

izradimo strujne krugove.
that are many times faster

that my group is really invested in,
za koji je moja grupa je stvarno
zagrijana,
in renewable energy, in medicine,

to move towards the nano.

are going to need new tools --
će trebati nove alate --
That's the point.
To je poanta.
once you develop these new tools,
razviješ te nove alate,
can pick them up and use them,
uzeti i koristiti
on the promise of nanotechnology.

I appreciate it.
Cijenim to.
