Forklifts are widely used in business logistics due to their ability to move loads vertically. Their capability to lift loads to significant heights combined with their compact dimensions ma…
ISEF · 2026
Behavioral and Social Sciences
OBJECTIVE: Cochlear implants (CIs) are the standard for treating profound sensorineural hearing loss, yet postoperative speech perception outcomes remain highly variable. This study hypothes…
CWSF · 2026
Agriculture, Fisheries & Food
Fertilizers are responsible for 2% of global CO₂ emissions. Fertilizers also fuel rapid algae growth that produce harmful blooms in the water. They can also negatively impact the moisture an…
ISEF · 2026
Plant Sciences
The ongoing outbreak of the Mountain Pine Beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) has caused the destruction of 125 million acres of pine forests across North America, increasing wildfire risk and…
ISEF · 2026
Behavioral and Social Sciences
Ever since the Covid-19 pandemic, unemployment rates have steadily risen from 3.4% in April 2023 to 4.4% most recently in 2026. Amidst escalating economic inequality and worker burnout, onli…
ISEF · 2026
Mathematics
The classical Josephus problem involves eliminating individuals in a circle based on a fixed skip number. This research uses a similar rule, allowing skip numbers to vary according to a perm…
CYSF · 2026
How is the occurrence of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) directly related to the social determinants of health in early development?
CYSF · 2026
Our project is about dinosaur fossils, what they look like and what animal they come from.
ISEF · 2026
Translational Medical Science
The prevalence of Alzheimer's disease (AD), a multifactorial, neurodegenerative disease characterized by a decline in cognitive functions, is projected to double by 2060, underscoring a grow…
CWSF · 2026
Aerospace Bronze Medal
When two galaxies collide, they should leave behind visible scars. But some collisions happen in massive, old galaxies where the evidence fades so fast that every detection tool declares the…
ISEF · 2026
Physics and Astronomy
Galaxy classification often relies on human-defined categories, which can introduce observer bias, miss non-linear relationships, and fail to scale to new billion-galaxy datasets. This proje…
ISEF · 2026
Computational Biology and Bioinformatics
A growing body of evidence indicates that P2X7, a homotrimeric ATP-gated ion channel receptor, is a key mediator in neuroinflammatory signaling and cell death pathways in neurodegenerative d…
ISEF · 2026
Physics and Astronomy
This project analyzes data from Kepler Mission and LAMOST observatory to identify stars currently in a Maunder Minimum (MM) phase, an extended period of low sunspot activity, coincidental wi…
ISEF · 2026
Physics and Astronomy
The study of exocomets, cometary bodies orbiting stars beyond our solar system, is essential for understanding planetary disc formation and the origins of life. Unfortunately, exocomets are…
ISEF · 2026
Physics and Astronomy
White dwarfs (WDs) are a unique window into the fate of planetary systems, but confirmed planets around WDs are rare and transit signals last only minutes, making them easy to miss in ground…
ISEF · 2026
Physics and Astronomy
Gravity and expansion shapes the universe into a vast cosmic web of empty regions (voids), flat sheets (walls), thin threads (filaments), and dense clusters. While filaments and clusters are…
CYSF · 2026
we tested different makeshift greenhouses with reusable items from around our houses.
CYSF · 2026
This project examined how short pre-test activities affect math performance. Students exercised, listened to music, or rested before testing. Exercise led to the highest scores, suggesting p…
ISEF · 2026
Animal Sciences
Bird habitat quality depends on how much food, water, and shelter the habitat provides. Urbanization may affect habitat quality for birds. I made a hypothesis that bird species richness, abu…
