An 18-year-old made a supercapacitor thatcan charge a cell phone battery in just 20 to 30 seconds!

It could revolutionize the way we power our devices. 

 Eesha Khare's invention — a tiny, black supercapacitor — earned her a $50,000 Young Scientist Award at the prestigious Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, helping pave her path to Harvard University. 

Designed to store large amounts of energy in a compact space, her device could also one day power electric vehicles more efficiently.

Khare’s win highlights a new wave of innovation driven by young minds tackling global energy challenges. Intel praised her project for recognizing the growing need for efficient energy storage in our increasingly mobile world. 

Alongside Khare, other young scientists were recognized for groundbreaking work in astrophysics and self-driving cars. With more than 1,500 participants from around the world, the event showcased how youthful vision and scientific passion are already shaping the future.

After winning the award in 2013, she went on to earn her SB in Bioengineering at Harvard and her Master's at the University of Cambridge. Khare is currently PhD student in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Imagine a future where death is no longer inevitable. Experts predict that with advancements in technology, humans might be able to live indefinitely within the next 40 to 100 years. Several areas of research are driving this possibility: 1. Android Bodies Scientists are working on connecting human brains to external devices, potentially allowing people to control android bodies. This technology could enable minds to be uploaded to digital platforms, giving humans a new, potentially immortal form. 2. 3D-Printed Organs and Limbs Bioprinting is becoming a reality, with scientists successfully creating functional organs and limbs. This technology could allow for the replacement of worn-out body parts, significantly extending human lifespan. 3. Cryogenic Freezing Some organizations are already offering cryopreservation services, freezing human bodies in the hope that future technology can revive them. While still speculative, research in this area continues to advance. 4. Virtu...
