Chemistry
Most plastics are made of polyethylene terephthalate, a polymer that is nearly indestructible, taking centuries to decompose. To be more environmentally-friendly, there are substitutes avail…
Energy: Sustainable Materials and Design
The goal of my project was to design a system that cooled a solar cell using the renewable energy of the sun. Knowing that a cooled solar cell performs better than a non-cooled solar cell I…
Human enteric pathogenic viruses present in wastewater, even at low concentrations, are responsible for many fatal waterborne diseases. The MS2 bacteriophage was used as a model pollutant du…
The purpose is to determine the potential to reduce linear acceleration and tangential velocity during front and rear oblique impacts of a football helmet facemask. Independent Variables: No…

Materials Science
We present a simple two-step approach for preparing large uniform sheets of carbon nanoparticles/ polypropylene (CNP/PP) nanocomposites. Fragmented pieces of the nanocomposite produced by so…
Engineering Technology: Statics & Dynamics
The purpose of this project was to create a more efficient drone that was still stable enough to fly FPV. The design I am using is a large central propellor to generate most of the thrust an…
Energy: Sustainable Materials and Design
This experiment tests the efficiency of three different metal electrodes in the process of hydrolysis. The hypothesis of the experiment is that the catalysts will have an effect on the effic…
Animal Sciences
Tetragonilla collina is an underground burrow stingless bee. They build a long round nesting tube that enrich with propolis to protect barrier against external invaders or weathering threats…

Behavioral Science
Nursing home neglect is a branch of elder abuse that has been shown to incite great trauma and higher risks of suicide. In the United States, over 750,000 cases of nursing home neglect are r…
Systems Software
There is an urgent dilemma for discus throwers in some countries when they train indoors in winter or rainy seasons: the limitation of indoor spaces disabled discus to fly a complete traject…
Physics and Astronomy
Gravitational-wave (GW) detections of merging neutron star-black hole (NSBH) systems probe astrophysical neutron star (NS) and black hole (BH) mass distributions, especially at the transitio…
Micro- and nanoplastics are an air- and waterborne pollutant. They are carried globally; high levels have been found in dust in Tehran, snow samples in the Pyrenees, and in ice samples from…
Earth and Environmental Sciences
Due to artificial methods including inorganic fertilizers used in farming, crops are not always safe for consuming as these consist of toxic materials causing diseases and pollution. Also, b…

Chemistry
Fungi based microbial plant diseases are among the major causes of agricultural crop loss on a global scale, which threatens the worldwide goal of producing sufficient food to feed the growi…
Microbiology
Streptococcus mutans causes an accumulation of reactive oxygen species in the oral cavity, damaging tissue as salivary antioxidants are depleted. I hypothesized that a hibiscus treatment wou…
Microbiology
The purpose of this experiment was to determine if bioactive glass (BG) would be a good substitute for antibiotics resistant to Staphylococcus bacteria. BG are bioceramics which can be used…
Chemistry
An experiment in which a copper plate is zinc-plated and then heated to brass plating is known as the "Alchemist's Dream." With the conventional method, there is a risk of bumping and scatte…
Biomedical Engineering
Arm injuries are common among all age groups. However, there are not many accessible ways for a patient with an arm injury to perform their rehabilitation while in a home-based environment w…

Second Award
Climate change can be solved, but the window is closing. 90% of goods move by cargo ships, resulting in 4% of climate change emissions. There is a need for climate change technology that wor…
Our global cargo ships transport 90% of goods and release 4% of climate change emissions and particulate, causing 7.6 million childhood asthma cases and 150,000 premature deaths annually. A…
Plant Sciences
COVID-19 pandemic is life-threatening. We need to boost our body's immunity against infection. Literature review shows that microgreens can provide nine times more vitamins and minerals than…
Biochemistry
Since an effective and reliable antiviral drug against COVID-19 (caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus) has not been developed, research on novel therapeutic targets is crucial. The RdRp protein of…

Biochemistry
As the current pandemic continues on, it is important to understand how different variants of SARS-CoV-2 (the virus responsible for COVID-19) bind onto a human cell to gain entry. My researc…
The human protein APOBEC3G (A3G) deaminates single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) by mutating deoxycytidine (DC) to deoxyuridine (DU). A3G dysregulation induces DNA damage resulting in cancer evolutio…
