2 Teenage Scientists in 1 Week

Last week I wrote about Jack Andraka, a high school freshman who invented a better test for pancreatic cancer.  This week's boy genius is Shouryya Ray, who, at 16, has solved a mathematical problem first posed by Sir Isaac Newton more than 300 years ago.  Ray is the first person to do so, although many have tried and have come up with partial solutions.  Ray was born in India and moved to Germany four years ago.

It's good to see talent being distributed around the world.
