3D pencil

The invention of Dániel Rátai can transform an ordinary computer into a 3-dimensional PC with touchscreen. The inexpensive, new technology allows virtual spatial activity. The user can draw in the space and the result will appear in 3 dimensions. The innovation called Leonar3DO can contribute to the birth of the new generation of computer games, but it is also feasible for animation and modeling. Dániel Rátai represented the Hungarian Research Student Movement at the Nobel Prize Award Ceremony in Stockholm in 2005.

Awards
six 1^st prizes at Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, Seaborg SYSS Award,
^2nd prize at the 13^th Young Hungarian Scientific and Innovation Competition

Artificial intelligence

Ádám Rák builds neutral networks to model the nervous system of primitive insects and its evolution. This nervous system models, incorporating genetic algorithms, show similar behavior to real insect nervous systems when vivified by computer simulation. Their environment is a simulated, virtual space where these artificial nervous systems can feed, communicate, reproduce and adopt. Since the input parameters are similar to natural laws, so the simulated evolution can model the real course of nature. This artificial nervous system can be made as integrated circuits, and use to control robots.

Physiological effects of hypertension on rats

Adrienn Kocsis has started her research in the theme of circulatory system at the Institute of Human Physiology and Clinical Experimental Research, Semmelweis University, Faculty of Medicine, Budapest in 2001. She studies the mitigation of the effects caused by oxidative stress and the possible treatments of them. Some types of medicine that are in the experimental phase have not yet been studied for this kind of treatment. The research of cardiovascular diseases is of outmost importance these days, as the problems of heart and blood vessels are among the leading causes of death all over the world.

Awards
Special Award at TUDOK Student Conference 2004, 1^st price at TUDOK Student Conference 2005, 1^st prize at the 14^th Young Hungarian Scientific and Innovation Competition, lecture at the 3^rd National Congress of Microcirculatory, lecture at the 17^th European Union Contest for Young Scientists

Genetic studies on Drosophila

András Jipa and Levente Kovács have been studying gene mutation of fruit flies (Drosophila sp.) to determine resistance and genetic stability. They are especially interested in mass stress, which can result in several interesting physiological phenomenon. Their measurements prove that the increased synthesis of heat shock proteins (HSPs) can cause such beneficial or harmful results, like higher tolerance of heat or appearance of hidden mutations. In their genetic research they look for induced abnormality and mutations in flies, that where previously exposed to mass stress.
