"What they are telling the public is not true.” A conversation with James Tour, Professor of Chemistry, Professor of Computer Science and Professor of Materials Science and NanoEngineering (Rice University)

Glaube ist frag-würdig

James Tour is one of the 50 most influential scientists in the world - and for good reason. His groundbreaking development of the nanocar, a tiny molecular-scale vehicle with rotating wheels and light-activated motors, has revolutionized the world of nanotechnology and made him a globally recognized pioneer. Tour holds no less than three professorships (T. T. and W. F. Chao Professor of Chemistry, Professor of Computer Science, and Professor of Materials Science and NanoEngineering) at the prestigious Rice University, underscoring his prominent position in the scientific community.
In this exciting episode, Colin, Hanna and Stephan talk to Tour about his visionary research in nanotechnology, his innovative approaches to cancer research and his views on the origin of life. Particularly fascinating is his account of a conversation he had at Harvard with Lee Cronin, one of the leading researchers in the field of the origin of life. Tour delves deeply into the complexity of cells and the scientific challenges involved in understanding the beginning of life. It is also impressive how he integrates his personal faith journey with the big questions of science. A must-hear for anyone interested in the intersection of science and faith!
