THE SCIENCE BEHIND SCIENCE FICTION HEROES

What material is Spiderman's outfit made of? How does Wolverine recover after every injury and how does Susan Storm become invisible? What does C-3PO say about all this and, more importantly, what language does he speak?

These and many more questions will all be answered on Thursday 7 October at 7 p.m. at Technopolis.

Eight young scientists, all finalists in our FameLab Competition, which aims to discover new talent in the field of science communication, will talk about how all these Hollywood 'miracles' are closer to reality than we think, and how 21st century scientists are working to turn us into the next generation of superheroes.
