Developments in experimental research

According to an article on esciencenews.com, experiments at the Karolinska Institet in Stockholm, Sweden (also presented in Nature Nanotechnology) have shown that carbon nanotubes can be broken down by myeloperoxidase (MPO), an enzyme found in white blood cells.

This could have implications for medical applications of carbon nanotubes as well as for dealing with potential future industrial accidents involving carbon nanotubes at production facilities.

Keeping up to date with developments in scientific research can help you deliver cutting edge cinema and fiction, but be careful that you get it right if you're going for accuracy in the treatment of science in your cinema and fiction.

New developments in experimental research can also help you with ideas for speculative fiction that goes beyond accurate depiction for the sake of the story. Michael Crichton is an author who has written several books such as Jurassic Park, Congo and Prey that stray into speculative fiction, while also providing a basis from which readers can consider the real science behind the speculative elements. If curious, a reader can then further research that area for themself.
