      That’s fab SJ.

      I have not. I don’t think my brain works that way. I think it would be great to invent something though.

      YES!!!!!

      I created gold nanoparticles that are shaped like hollow little boxes that we put drugs inside and radioactive compounds attached to the outside so that we could track them inside the human body! These particles could be used to track diseases like cancer inside the human body, and even to treat the cancers by lighting them up with lasers to burn the cancer cells out!
