2 Indian teens on way to 6th annual Google Science Fair 2016
New Delhi, Aug. 12 (ANI): Make way for Shriyank and Mansha Fatima, as they are now among the 16 Global finalists for the Sixth Annual Google Science Fair 2016. The shortlisted projects, announced today, include submissions by these two Indian students from Bangalore and Hyderabad, who will be competing for a grand prize of 50,000 dollars scholarship. All sixteen finalists will be travelling with their families to Mountain View, California. and the winner will be announced at a ceremony on September 27, 2016 there. 16-year-old Shriyank is from National Public School, Bangalore submitted his project that is titled "KeepTab: A novel way to aid memory with deep learning algorithms!" On other hand 15-year-old Mansha Fatima, a junior at Sadhu Vaswani International School, Hyderabad focussed on creating an "Automated Water Management and Monitoring System in Paddy Fields". "From a breathalyzer test that could predict lung cancer to a carbon filter that may significantly decrease styrofoam waste, these top 16 projects from nine countries around the world, represent the brightest ideas to make things better through science and engineering", said Andrea Cohan, program lead, Google Science Fair.

Astronomers find the smallest main-belt asteroids ever detected:

The majority of known asteroids orbit inside the main asteroid belt, which is positioned between Mars and Jupiter at an average distance of around 250 million km from Earth. Since the discovery of the first asteroid in 1801, about 750.000 asteroids have been identified, primarily in the last decade thanks to several optical surveys that examine the sky on clear nights.
