Spring ISD students help with cutting edge research at UH
Abstract:
Two students from Carl Wunsche Sr. High School spent six weeks this summer at the University of Houston, involved in a hands-on physics program called QuarkNet.
"We are doing research on carbon fiber nanotubes, and their effect when mixed with a polymer. Essentially what we are doing is making conductive plastic," he said.
