91ÖÆƬ³§

We work to keep science strong every day at the 91ÖÆƬ³§ — and our work with young people shows us the power of science to transform their minds and the world we all share.

So to inspire you for 2017, we’re sharing The Science 7 — seven amazing breakthroughs and initiatives to watch from 91ÖÆƬ³§ competitors and alumni. Join us in celebrating these 91ÖÆƬ³§ highlights for strong science — and let’s carry forward this inspiration into 2017 to make science stronger than ever.

1. To Build a Better Drone, Use Biomimicry

Giving drones the visual capabilities of birds and fruit flies could help them find trapped victims in fires and other rescues.

2. Designing a $3 Filter To Clean Your Local Stream

This phosphorous detector comes housed in a foam block, two hair clips and a bit of T-shirt to keep fish out.

It gives your brain a 3D representation of your surroundings — and was invented by a 91ÖÆƬ³§ competitor and high school senior!

5. The Best Shape for a Rocket Nozzle

What this 13-year-old 91ÖÆƬ³§ competitor found will surprise rocket engineers.

6. Nanotech Against Urban Pollution

This Detroit student-scientist wondered what exactly was polluting his neighborhood. So he used nanotechnology to find out.

7. Decontamination That Glows

Keeping medical workers uncontaminated during infectious disease outbreaks isn’t easy. This 91ÖÆƬ³§ alum has a better way.
