Physics and Astronomy
Light pollution is a growing societal issue with at least 80% of the world's population encountering reduced night sky visibility due to urban skyglow. As well as scattered light emanating f…
ISEF · 2026
Physics and Astronomy Third Award
Wildfires pose significant threats to ecosystems and communities worldwide. While visible flames can be readily captured, the underlying thermofluidic processes governing atmospheric fire sp…
ISEF · 2026
Physics and Astronomy Third Award
Arterial stenosis, the narrowing of arteries by plaque buildup, is the primary cause of cardiovascular diseases. Diseased arteries often contain multiple or non-uniform stenoses, so clinical…

Electronics & Electromagnetics (Junior Division) Honorable_mention Award
Household food waste creates a major economic and environmental burden, with typical U.S. families discarding 15–25% of purchased food (about $3,000 annually) and food waste contributing rou…
ISEF · 2026
Physics and Astronomy
Every day, without realizing it, we live immersed in environmental radioactivity, a natural and generally harmless phenomenon. In the past, its strong correlation with meteorological variabl…
AJAS · 2026
Physics and Astronomy (inferred)
Physics is all about approximation. No one formula can account for every factor and predict any event with full accuracy. Over the years, scientists have used different methods to make these…
