Exploravision
As recognition for their outstanding achievement,
national finalist team members and their
parents/guardians will travel to Washington, D.C.
in June for ExploraVision Awards
Weekend. ExploraVision prizes include
First Prize (4 teams) U.S. EE Savings Bond worth
10,000 at maturity for each student.
Second Prize (4 teams) U.S. EE Savings Bond
worth 5,000 at maturity for each student.
In ExploraVision, students choose a current

Buckyballs
Lighter than plastic, stronger than steel! The
hardest substance known to man!
Click here to see how Buckyballs and nanotubes
are made

• Named after R. Buckminster Fuller, inventor of
  the geodesic dome, "BuckyBall" is the nickname
  for a Carbon 60 molecule. Like the faces of a
  soccer ball, it has 20 hexagons and 12 pentagons.

14
Carbon Nanotubes

• CNT can be metallic or semiconducting and offers
  amazing possibilities to create future
  nanoelectronics devices, circuits, and computers.
• Nanotubes are as hard as diamonds and have the
  strongest tensile strength known.
• They Emit light!
• They Repair Themselves!
• 2008 trial production of Carbon Nanotube TVs.

Hybridizing traits to create transparent frog
Scientists Mario R. Capecchi, Oliver Smithies and
Sir Martin J. Evans have been named the
recipients of the 2007 Nobel Prize in medicine.
The three developed a technique called "gene
targeting," which lets scientists deactivate or
modify particular genes in mice. That in turn
lets them study how those genes affect health and
disease.

Energy
Wind Power
Solar Power
Wave Energy (Pelamis)
AntiMatter CERN
VOLTS FROM A MECHANICAL SEA SNAKE Pelamis is a
segmented cylinder moored at both ends to the
ocean floor. As a wave passes down the length of
Pelamis, hinged joints on the power conversion
modules allow the tubes to move up and down and
side to side. The motion of the tubes relative to
one another drives pumps that turn generators.
The electricity flows via a cable to a
shore-based grid. To access high-energy swells,
Pelamis is designed for use about five miles
offshore. It generates over 2.5 million kWh's of
electricity per year, enough to provide power for
150-200 homes. The same technology will be used
to desalinate water or produce hydrogen
When matter comes into contact with antimatter it
produces an explosion of pure radiation,
traveling outwards at the speed of light. Both
particles that created the explosion are
completely destroyed, leaving behind only other
subatomic particles. It's a perfect conversion of
mass into energy. It releases about 10 billion
time the energy of a chemical reaction and 1000
times more than nuclear fission in a nuclear
power plant.

Cloning
34
Cloning
Cloning could offer a key to the fountain of
youth, say scientists whose six cloned cows show
signs of being younger than their chronological
ages.
Human Ear grown on a mouse
On January 8, 2001, scientists at Advanced Cell
Technology, Inc., announced the birth of the
first clone of an endangered animal, a baby bull
gaur (a large wild ox from India and southeast
Asia) named Noah.

Good News Holdings building the first "green"
film and television production studio, and what
Good News Holdings expects to be the most modern,
user-friendly studio complex in the world. While
this 150 M project is still in the early stage,
with feasibility studies being conducted, Good
News Holdings has created a Delaware based LLC
named "Project Julia" (working title) to
facilitate progress.

Cryogenics
Cryogenics is a branch of physics (or
engineering) that studies the production of very
low temperatures (below 150 C, 238 F or 123
K) and the behavior of materials at those
temperatures.
Superconductors
Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Storage and transport breakthroughs
Cryonics is freezing living things so they may be
brought back to life in the future. This has
been successfully done with hamsters. Click Here
37
Extending Life
Aging can be slowed in laboratory rodents by
low-calorie diets, and changes in single genes
can extend mouse life span by 40 percent or more.
U.S. life expectancy at birth has increased by
about 7 years (from 70 to 77) since 1960
