An 18-year-old Indian-American girl won a raft of prizes at the annual Intel science bash in what's now par for course, but although the top prize eluded them, the most electrifying breakthrough came from Indian-American high-schooler. A device she has developed can fully charge a cell phone in 20 to 30 seconds in what will be a boon for a gazillion mobile users who need to juice up their cell phones quickly.
Eesha Khare of Saratoga, California, won the Intel Foundation Young Scientist Award in Phoenix as part of the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, and a USD 50,000 prize after developing the tiny device that fits inside mobile phone batteries that allows you to charge your phone within 20 to 30 seconds instead of several hours.
When asked why she choose to research technology around energy storage, Khare told NBC News: 'My cell phone battery always dies.'
Eesha Khare, a 12th grade student of Lynbrook High School in San Jose, California, triumphed over 1,600 other finalists from more than 70 countries on May 17 at the 2013 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair.
If this become successful then it might also be used to fullfill other energy efficient storage devices also.
