"Allergy fear leads boy to create sand that repels fire ants"
"Capable of decomposing viruses, dirt and other organic materials into water and carbon dioxide, photocatalysts have a wide range of applications"
"The boy mixed [ #photocatalyst ] slurry with coral sand"
"His aim was to disorient ants and prevent them from working in groups by breaking down [their] trail pheromones"
"[He] received the #Tokyo governor's prize at an invention contest"
