According to a BBC report, her invention of a supercapacitor, which will revolutionise the battery mobile power management, won Khare other awards too, apart from winning an interview on the Conan O’Brien show.

With the rapid adoption of portable electronics, Eesha Khare, 18, of Saratoga, California, recognised the crucial need for energy-efficient storage devices. She developed a tiny supercapacitor, which allows an LED to fully charge within 20-30 seconds, says Intel International Science and Engineering Fair.

Eesha Khare now studies science at Harvard.
