Historical and Current Explanations 

  1. Algae Bio-Fuel: Sara V. H. ('16) describes the advantages and disadvantages of algae as a bio-fuel and its place as an alternative form of energy. 
  2. An Energy Alternative: The following, by Lucy M. ('16), was written in response to a Science Times article for her Advanced Chemistry class.
  3. Clean Energy in Transportation: This article by Zoe E. (’16) is an exploration of energy and climate change in the modern world, addressing how the world deals with these topics and specifically how transportation plays into climate change.    
  4. Calorie Restriction:  The following submission by Lucas F. ('15) discusses calorie restriction and its affect on aging and lifespan.
  5. Creating Energy in the Modern World: This article by Cecilia M. (’16) is an exploration of energy in the modern world. This includes the different tools that we use to get energy, how those tools work, and how we can implement them into our modern society with the different practical limitations that there are.
  6. Dietary Intervention Impact on Gut Microbial Gene Richness: The following submission was written by Campbell P. (’14), and it summarizes an interesting article he read for his AP Biology class.
  7. Earthly Applications for NASA Technology: The following was written by Eli C. ('14) and Maddy Y. ('14)  in preparation for a presentation on NASA inventions that later found applications in everyday life. 
  8. Explaining Relative Motion: This letter by Olivia F. (’20) balances creativity and scientific knowledge to explain relative motion through realistic experiences, like flying on a plane.  
  9. Exploring Artificial Intelligence: This article by William M. (’15) is an exploration of neurolinguistics and artificial intelligence, talking about how different types of artificial intelligence work and the effect it can have in the modern world and the issues present in this world. This article also talks about the study of neurolinguistics and how we can use this study to help fabricate artificial intelligence.
  10. Gamma Function: This submission by Isaac E. ('14) is an article introducing and describing the gamma function. 
  11. How Leaves Work: This article by Nathan F. (’16) was inspired by an interesting Science Times article he read, and uses simple language to describe to complex process of how plants work.  
  12. Hydrogen Fuel Cells: The following submission by Jay G. ('16) was written for his Chemistry class and details the function and practicality of the hydrogen fuel cell as a source of energy for the modern world.
  13. Music and Brain Development: The following submission was written by Cecilia M. ('16) for her chemistry class after a classmate asked a question on the topic which left her eager to learn more. It is a short research paper on the effect practicing an instrument has on children. It discusses the way it impacts children's brains as well as what scientists plan to do with this research. 
  14. Programming Calculators: The following is a calculator programming tutorial written by Jack S. ('15) and Toby J. ('15).
  15. The Science of Microsatellites: John F. ('16) wrote a short paper on the science of micro satellites, a topic he finds very interesting. During his research, he was surprised to find that the future of satellite technology is completely different from what he had thought before. 
  16. Sci-Fri Taser: The following submission by Lachlan M. (’15) was the final project for his symposium, Experimentum Crucis.  He and his group were studying the connections between technologies shown in science-fiction, and their real life counterparts.
  17. Sloane's Gap: The following submission by Emil H. ('15) explores a distribution of the  integer sequences recorded on their website and the frequency with which they occur.
  18. Sustainable Energy: Why Some Ideas Shine Brighter than Others: This article by Joseph B. ('16) was for an extra credit assignment he had in chemistry. Joseph discusses the benefits and disadvantages of different types of sustainable energy.  
  19. Understanding the Galvanic Cell: The following submission by Belle F. ('15) explains how a galvanic cell works based on the galvanic cell that she constructed with Jordan K. ('15) as part of their Independent Study work. 
  20. The Virus: Our Unforeseen Philosopher's Stone: This article by Jonathan D. (’15) is an exploration of viruses and their immense potential should we be able to understand and control them better. In this article, he talks about how they work, the different methods of study of these viruses, and examples of the different kinds of viruses that are “plaguing” us.
  21. What Are Fuel Cells and How Do They Work?: After reading the New York Times article "The Artificial Leaf is Here Again," Sofia T. ('16) became interested in fuel cells. She watched videos online and read articles from the head researcher of the project; her curiosity and research led her to write this article.
