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.

The idea of the new engine concept is to replace the crankshaft by gear racks that move linearly and drive the gear wheels (sprockets) creating torque.
The engine can contain from 1 to 2 or 4 units.
Thorough studies over more than 50 years on a large number of materials have evidenced their composite structure. In particular, water and aqueous solutions contain a specific inductive element able to exchange energy with Human Mental Field (HMF) and Bio-fields (BF) generated by flora and fauna.
I have invented an electrical air conditioner which is light in weight and features high speed cooling and the lowest maintenance cost at all time. The cooling in this project is produced by thermoelectrical couple.
Space debris is a dangerous threat to future space exploration. The project “ShotSat” proposed a possible solution to the problem of space debris using this satellite. The device got its name because the satellite launches “shots” into space debris.
Energy is mostly derived from fossil fuels and renewable resources are neglected. Combustion of material is a very common system of releasing energy.
The reciprocal (piston) engine has taken over the world of transportation and mobile machines but this design has been developed for the combustion of liquid fuels.
A designed product that uses readily available waste (plastic and biomass) and converts them to useful biofuels thus reducing environmental pollution, global warming and climate disorder.
The Take Cover explores the vulnerability of humans and the built environment and their need to withstand the impacts of natural disasters due to climate change. The purpose of our patented invention is to provide body conforming flotation padding protection to be used during disasters such as hurricanes, tsunamis,
My idea aims to add greater safety factor to automotive vehicles by addressing the human side of the driving using the below approach:
Detect unruly or impulsive behavior through measurable responses such as constant abnormal acceleration/braking, rapid steering movements, continual over-speeding beyond a set safe speed, etc.
CHEMICAL BONDING ADHESIVE FOR BULK TRANSFER PIPE JOINT
Chemical Bonding system using adhesives to butt join two pipe ends providing an effective permanent long lasting leak-tight and strong joint. Correct designed Chemical joints are as strong as the pipe itself.
Create a robot / set of robots in order to do the human being's handwork (eg. grinding, finishing) based on the customer requirements. The advantages would be the higher level of precision, minimization of damage for the aerospace parts as the handjob workmanship (human factors),
