Bright minds: 7 stunning scientific projects created by young people

Each person is unique and each of us is born with a set of skills that will certainly be developed and grow infinitely.

However, there are children in this world, which they say that they kissed on the forehead by God. Their brain is full of ideas that can change the world, allowing mankind to take a big step, and then a rapid leap forward. We present you with "seven" brilliant projects submitted by young people on the Google Science Fair. Maybe someone of them very soon will be the winner of the Nobel Prize. We would not be surprised one bit.

1. Daniel Burd brought microbes that eat plastic waste

Canadian student Daniel Burd puzzled by the problem of pollution and asked the question: why can not we "collect" organisms, slowly, over many years, "eating" plastic, and to increase their concentration in one particular place, to accelerate process. Result: 6 weeks microbes reduced the amount of plastic by 43%. Now this idea is brought to perfection Leading Canadian environmentalists.

Lauren pushed for the opening... legal action against a number of fast-food restaurants, which management does not alert customers about the carcinogenic properties of meat cooked on the grill. And Lauren dawned!
She
saw her mother sprinkled the meat with lemon juice, why it changes color. This means that citrus fruits and sauces of them block the formation of carcinogens, while the olive oil, for example, makes it worse.

3. Jonah Kohn has opened the way, as blind people can begin to hear

Jonah came up with a way to teach deaf people to hear sounds when playing the guitar. How it is done? He bit the neck of his guitar - and then the sound has passed through the teeth in the skull, and his eardrums were able to catch it.

Jonah made the discovery: Sound vibrations can significantly enhance the sound itself, and deaf people will be able to hear if... the sound will go through their bones. Thanks to Jonah device appeared, sending sound directly into the brain using a "speaker" at their fingertips. The opportunity to hear the sound of people increased by 95%!

Eric de BENEDICTIS opened cheapest way to move in space

Eric found the best option of fuel for spaceships - she invited them to move with the help of gravitational fields and forces generated by the motion of the planet. Just as sails moving on the water by the wind.

Martin Schneider and Joshua Lee has a brilliant little project, which is based on our need to compete with each other. Teenagers found that students performed better in educational games, if you play against an opponent by the name "Bob", and not against an unnamed opponent.
Acquaintance with the opponent (at least in his name knowledge) motivates a person to think much better!

Esten LaChapelle has developed a cheap prosthetic arm

He used the 3D-printing technology to create a low-cost prosthesis. A teenager who loves to create something, spodvig on this idea in case. Estaing met a girl whose own robotic arm cost $ 8 thousand. Established Lachapelle limb only costs $ 250, and performs the same function.

Marc Roberge opened the way to the destruction of anthrax

Marc Roberge discovered that flour coarse can kill anthrax spores directly into the envelope without damaging its contents.
Mark, of course, is not used to directly study anthrax (prohibited by law). Instead, he explored alternative - hay bacillus, giving biotech company SGM Biotech. Bacillus subtilis more heat-resistant, which makes the opening of Mark additional weight.
