Event Description

Superheroes are known for their incredible superpowers. Supergirl can effortlessly lift cars, trains, and aeroplanes; Tony Stark flies around New York City in his Iron Man suit; Spider-Man climbs walls; and Sue Storm of the Fantastic Four has the incredible power of invisibility. But how likely are we to replicate these superpowers? And besides defeating supervillains, where could we use these superpowers in modern society. In the Secrets of Superhero Science, you’ll learn about the science behind the superpowers of some of iconic superheroes such as the amazing the Iron Man suit, the real-life scientists trying to make artificial spider silk, and the technology behind invisibility, and lots more. Are you ready to unlock the Secrets of Superhero Science? The Science talk from Barry W. Fitzgerald - BW Science.
