A California high school student has made an extraordinary contribution to astronomy by developing an artificial intelligence (AI) system that uncovered 1.5 million previously unknown objects in space. Seventeen-year-old Matteo Paz's work, conducted through Caltech's Planet Finder Academy, has now been published in 'The Astronomical Journal' – a remarkable achievement for a single-author paper by a teenage scientist.

An astrophysicist says he may have found evidence of alternate or parallel universes by looking back in time to just after the Big Bang more than 13 billion years ago,

For the first time, a team of physicists has discovered a way to observe and control quantum motion of an object that is large enough to see.
