Summary:
A teenager called Jack Andraka has discovered a new form to detect the pancreatic cancer. He started to investigate because he lifes a friend's dead but, how has he discover discovered it?
He was in a biology class redding about his favorite article, the carbon nanotubes while his teacher was talking about antibodies so he thought "what will happen if a I join both of them". When he did it, he discover that the carbon nanotubes joined with mesothelin can detected the cancer. This paper costs 3 cents and is almost 100% reliable. And if we change the antibodies for once of other illness like VIH we can detect it.

Critical Apraissal:
I think that it's an incredible notice for all the world. This boy has discovered I think that can change the world of medicine and also I'm a fan of this kind of people. It's true that if we want we can do whatever we want. He has got only fifteen years and it's one of the most incredible investigators about cancer detection.

Glossary:
Carbon nanotubes- there are allotropes of carbon with a cylindrical nanostructure. These cylindrical carbon molecules have unusual properties, which are valuable for nanotechnology, electronic, optics and other fields of materials sciences and technology.
