Molecular Frontiers Inquiry Prize

How are shells made? What is between protons and neutrons in the nucleus? If elephants have huge brains, why are they not the most intelligent animals? Why aren't plants black? Why do tea leaves gather in the center when a cup of tea is stirred? What are emotions? Imagine a world without molecules: Wait! You can't! Because molecules are everywhere, and they make life and imagination possible. Unlike so much of school, which asks you to solve problems, on MoleClues you can ask questions about this molecular world. Your question may not have a simple answer - - in fact some of the most important questions of our time are impossible to answer. That is part of what makes them so interesting! Top scientists, some of them Nobel Prize winners, will listen to you and pick winners for the Molecular Frontiers Inquiry Prize, which is given each year to those who ask the BEST QUESTIONS. You can win a cool prize, and your question could change the world!
