Today we learned to a great extent about the vault. The vault is a particle found in a eukaryotic cell. These vaults have a big open space in the middle that scientists can hope to use one day in the future. Some uses of this might be embedding it with medicines that would attack cancer cells. I think that if this use could be used in modern day society, it would be extremely beneficial. As of right now, people with cancer go through kimo therapy which is extremely toxic and also kills the good cells along with the harmful ones. But if this medicine in the vault were to be discovered it could possibly just treat the cancer cells which would eliminate the killing of good cells.

With this discovery maybe a new form of art will be formed. Artists could maybe fill the vaults with a substance that would glow, and when an image would be taken of the vaults there would be a colorful image. Maybe an art style similar to this will be used when it can be perfected.
Another thing that we did today was spray gatorade on nanotex suits. These suits were water resistant and the liquids just bounced off the suit. I think that these suits can be very usefull to society because they allow the user to stay cleaner than before. In addition to this, if any chemicals were to spill on a users coat the chemicals would simply just bounce off.
