13-year-old named America's Top Young Scientist for algae-aragonite system to reduce ocean acidification
Reported by3M News Center ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Eighth-grader Raji Doshi from Connecticut won the 2026 3M Young Scientist Challenge for engineering an algae-and-aragonite system designed to increase alkalinity and remove CO2 from seawater, reducing coastal ocean acidification. She received a $25,000 prize and the title of America's Top Young Scientist.
The project demonstrates efficacy in lab conditions; real-world scalability and coastal application remain to be tested.
