"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)

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!Anyone who wishes to take up James' offer, which he presents at the end of the conversation, is welcome to write to him / Wer James' Angebot in Anspruch nehmen will, dass er am Ende des Gesprächs unterbreitet an, der schreibe ihn gerne an > [email protected] wer das ganze Interview gerne auf Deutsch nachlesen will: Hier könnt ihr die deutsche Übersetzung des Gesprächs herunterladen > https://t1p.de/otbiu And as always, today as well: Feel free to ask us your questions about this episode. / Und wie immer gilt auch heute: Stellt uns gerne eure Fragen zu dieser Folge, z.
