Silver Medal
Our project explores motion-responsive scaffolds that mimic living tissue behaviour. By demonstrating how 'dancing molecules' self-correct, align, and guide tissues, we demonstrate a novel c…
ISEF · 2026
Physics and Astronomy
Dark matter is the primary component of galaxy clusters and a driver of cosmic structure formation, yet its impact on cluster properties remains poorly understood. While the Navarro-Frenk-Wh…
AJAS · 2026
Physics and Astronomy (inferred)
Dark matter's presence is attested to through its gravitational impact on galaxies, seen most saliently in their rotational velocity curves. In this work, the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) is exami…
CYSF · 2026
We experimented how does the amount of daylight that enters your room affect the time that you sleep. We researched about different parts of the body that control sleep, and how daylight can…

ISEF · 2026
Computational Biology and Bioinformatics
PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are organohalogens that are dubbed “forever chemicals” because they can remain in the environment for over 1,000 years. Chlorination-derived disinf…
CSEF · 2026
Mathematical Sciences (Senior Division) Third Award
When the number of qubits in a quantum system becomes extremely large, the system exhibits continuous, rather than discretized, behavior. These macroscopic systems are of interest at the int…
