Congratulations to Our 2024 Grand Prize and First Place Winners!
NETrolyze, a novel immunotherapy for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), was named the $25,000 grand prize winner at a live finalist round held November 15 in New York. The first-in-class therapeutic injectable gel prevents the spread of TNBC, one of the most aggressive cancer types, enabling patients to avoid toxic chemotherapy and expensive treatments – potentially transforming their lives.

Problem: Storm surges on oceans, bays, rivers, and even lakes damage or destroy millions of dollars’ worth of waterside dock and deck properties each year. As storm waters rise and wave action intensifies,
A team of Cornell engineers developed a patented technology, the TO:CMA Spherical Generator, that creates copious amounts of clean electricity out of ocean waves at costs below all major existing renewable energy sources. The design was elaborated to defy the global rise in energy demand,
My Solar Distillation Tower is designed to operate as a stand-alone self-powered bulk water desalination/purification system. The tower works on the principle of holding the water under a strong vacuum and controlling the temperature which the incoming brine vaporizes to get the most fresh water output.
In the current scenario the world is plagued by accidents which are primarily due to human errors in judgment and hence thousands of lives are lost. These accidents could be avoided if only there was a mechanism to alert the driver of approaching danger.
According to StopitNow a web-portal focussed on the prevention of child abuse (http://www.stopitnow.org) it is estimated that 29% of women and 14% of men were sexually abused as a child. Furthermore,
Single Wire/Object Transmission, and future repercussions on the technology of Wireless Power Transmission (WPT)
Engineering solutions to the development of techniques to transfer power through any physical medium or object is envisioned to mitigate the complexity involved in the wiring of electronic and electrical systems.
Call it the Swirl Drive. The purpose of the idea is to improve on the Mecanum-type drive system by increasing traction and stability (and utilizing more off-the-shelf components), while retaining its simplicity, maneuverability and control system.
Nature always has the solution to every problem, we need only to observe and investigate. This is why I have in mind that with burns, especially third-degree that leave extensive scars on the body,
In the last ten years, atmospheric phenomena have increased exponentially, and with it thousands of lives and infrastructure have been affected. Over 30 billions dollars in losses and over 500 deaths are reported so far this year in the United States alone. The situation becomes worse in developing countries.
The system shown here is miniature Gas Micro Turbines with target peak output of 10 KW, employing an unusual CPC tubular Collector as the heat source and Sodium Nitrate as the heat sink which is used later as heat recovery during no radiation condition to provide consistent electric flow.
