blu3rsx: “16-Year-Old Egyptian Scientist Finds Way to Turn Plastic Waste Into $78 Million of Biofuel!” What Azza proposes is to break down the plastic polymers found in drinks bottles and general waste and turn them into biofuel feedstock. (This is the bulk raw material that generally used for producing biofuel.) It should be noted that this is not a particularly new idea, but what makes Azza stand out from the crowd is the catalyst that she is proposing. She says that she has found a high-yield catalyst called aluminosilicate, that will break down plastic waste and also produce gaseous products like methane, propane and ethane, which can then be converted into ethanol.

Dr. Hayat Sindi

Hayat Sindi is a Saudi medical researcher who was born in Mecca. She has invented a machine combining the effects of light and ultra-sound for use in biotechnology. Her major project is being carried out in partnership with the universities of Exeter and Cambridge. Sindi’s major invention is called MARS (Magnetic Acoustic Resonance Sensor), patented during her PhD work at the Institute of Biotechnology at Cambridge University. Sindi’s first degree was in Pharmacology from King’s College, London where she was a recipient of Princess Anne’s Award for her undergraduate work on allergy. Along with her scientific activities, Sindi participated in numerous events aimed at raising the awareness of science amongst females, particularly in Saudi Arabia and the Muslim World in general. She is also interested in the problem of brain drain and was an invited speaker at the Jeddah Economic Forum 2005. Currently, she is a visiting scholar in professor George Whitesides group at Harvard University.
