So, this is how Luke makes his bucky paper (i think that's how you spell it). It's basically heaps of carbon nanotubes that are filtered out of a solution and dried to make something like paper. I got to see pictures of the paper under a microscope and all the little holes in it that could maybe be used to purify things like water.
It feels like i'm in a different world with words like nano and bio being used when I only know them from movies about robots and crazy science things that will never happen. Turns out they are happening.
After speaking to Ali i have finally realised that 'research' isn't all about "Hmm.. I wonder what happens if i do this..." because there are all the results that need to be looked at and figured out. I can only image how great it would feel to know about something that only a handful of others know because of what you have done to work it out and I'm really looking forward to that feeling.
Keep watching twitter!
Phoebe.
