Energy: Sustainable Materials and Design
In this experiment, the chemicals bacteria emit were collected with a solid-phase microextraction fiber (SPME). These chemicals were then identified on the Gas Chromatography Mass Spectromet…
ISEF · 2015
Neuroplasticity is thought to be critical for learning and memory storage. Such a process relies on changes in neural pathways and synapses. AMPA-type glutamate receptors (AMPARs) on dendrit…
ISEF · 2015
Ocean Acidification is the reduction in the pH of the ocean due to absorption of CO2 in the atmosphere. When absorbed the carbon dioxide mixes with ocean water to create carbonic acid. The a…
