LOCAL TEEN science student Julia Rampersaud announced a long sought-after breakthrough in materials science.
Julia, of Grove Road, Millhouses, is making waves in the global science community after her doctoral adviser accidentally leaked news of a recent discovery made by the young engineer.
Preliminary lab tests have shown the material, a kind of carbon nanotube, to be strong enough to support a cable that can reach nearly halfway to the moon. Such a material has been the holy grail of material science for more than sixty years. Julia made the discovery after more than a decade of research into the nature of cable dynamics and molecular bonds.
"I just want to go to space," she said.
Julia is looking to license this incredible material and hopes it will go into production by the first quarter of 2013.
