MATERIALS IMPROVEMENTS OVERSEAS post by Didi Fubara

I came across this pretty interesting article the other day about how Materials and Science Engineers can help improve the world in a number of areas. I was interested particularly in number 3 as my family is from Nigeria and I have seen on a first hand basis the importance of detecting harmful elements in the food we eat.

Furthermore, I would like to ask the class to elaborate on carbon nanotubes and how they see its uses evolving in the future – they can also comment on other parts of this article they find interesting.
