Each year the top high-school science students in the United States participate in the Westinghouse Science Talent Search. This contest offers a $40,000 college scholarship as its top prize. Last year, with 1,652 students entering, the top prize was won by Adam Ezra Cohen, a 17-year old boy from New York City. Adam won for his invention of an electrochemical paintbrush. This “paintbrush” is an electronic circuit that prints tiny patterns on silicon surfaces – patterns so tiny that 50 words could fit within the width of a human hair. If further developed, the invention could be used to make powerful microchips for computers. Impressive as this invention sounds, it is only one among many for Adam. He already has 152 inventions in total, including a computer cursor that users can move with their eyes.
