"You don't understand it, you get used to it" sooo relatable
-
"You don't understand it, you just get used to it" Probably one of the best physics quotes ever
-
How do the individual atoms feel about being manipulated?
-
Phil, aren't you too large to call yourself a nanoscientist?
-
My favorite connection from physics to electronics, is the fact that quantum tunnelling effects are at the heart of how flash memory and EPROMS work.
-
I don't always watch computerphile (over my head) but you could put Phil Moriarty in a video about paint drying and I would watch it........oh wait.
-
It seemed like the video ended while he was still explaining something.
-
Why don't they just download more RAM into the electron beam to make it go faster?
-
I want more of this guy. He could start his own channel and just talk and I think he'd have thousands of subscribers;)
-
More of this guy please.
-
This was a really informative video. Some illustrations/animations to visualize what he said would have made the video even better, although I understand that they take quite some time to make.
-
Being a chemist, just having listened to a physicist, talking about mechanics, for the purpose of computing, I just realized that the electron couldn't care less about how it's manipulated and by whom.
-
This is one of my all time favorite videos on YouTube! I have watched this video about 7 times now and I just absolutely love how well Mr. Moriarty explains the semi-transistor manufacturing.
-
I love how excited he gets to answer each question and you can tell it’s genuine too
-
hi there camera man!
-
One of my favorite Computerphile videos. Great explanation of concepts I've always wanted to understand. Thank you!
-
Prof Moriarty is one of my favorite guests on any of the “phile” videos. Awesome guy and very good at breaking things down to a level I can understand.
-
I usually just understand 25% of these talks but just love this channel and will keep coiming back to it again and again. Thank you for this!
-
This is brilliant! I would be really glad if you made more videos on this topic
-
That was a brilliantly clear and energetic overview of modern chipmaking. Professor Moriarty explained how a Silicon transistor works, but didn't label it as such. The Silicon substrate is formed into the transistors by adding impurities (doping).
