Intel science winners… cool inventions… and patents

ByBizMan

Meet the teen who just won $75,000 for inventing a system to keep germs from spreading on airplanes http://wapo.st/1d3L2Eo
Wang, the young winner, created a way to give everyone on an airplane their own space, with kind of  air walls around them.
His simulation shows a 55 times reduction in the air transmittable diseases. The retrofit for an existing airplane? It takes one evening and cost a whopping $1000! With the reduction in sick time, the airlines will make it back from employees in one single trip.
And what does Wang want to do when he grows up? He wants to go to college and study engineering and business!
