Tossing around expressions like "chelating specialists" and "quantum spots", Krtin Nithiyanandam is certainly clarifying his exploration, scarcely fluttering an eyelid as the research facility parlance trips off his tongue.

His most recent thought, in a joint effort with scientists at Cambridge University, is gone for making hard-to-treat bosom growths more open to basic medications. The work has officially cleared him to the last of the UK's National Science and Engineering Competition to be held in March 2017.
