Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a common technique to scan brains for strokes, tumors, and other abnormalities that cause forms of dementia. However, correctly diagnosing forms of dement…
ISEF · 2023
Physics and Astronomy
Schlieren imaging is used to show gradients in the temperature and density of air, water, and other materials. It does so by sending light through the test area and filtering out the light t…
ISEF · 2023
Physics and Astronomy Fourth Award
Increasing demand for housing and the production of sustainable energy causes the construction of unstable structures, such as tall buildings and wind turbines. To ensure that oscillations c…
