We’ve all heard of miracles right? 

In 1980 a girl named Jean Hilliard was frozen to death but came back to life miraculously. Doctors seem to have no explanation whatsoever of how she made it.

Lengby, Minnesota: It was December 20, 1980,The temperature was 22 degrees Fahrenheit below zero when a 19 years old then, Jean Hilliard’s automobile skidded on an icy road and lurched into a ditch. She was headed to her home when this happened

She got out of the car and started walking on an icy gravel road to reach her friend's home who lived nearby, she walked against the wind and her legs were freezing terribly.

Jean collapsed at the foot of her friend’s driveway after walking two miles in the snow around 1 a.m.

She was lying there for about six hours and her body had turned to ice before her friend (Wally Nelson) walked out at seven in the morning.Right after he found her he thought she was dead since her face looked pale like a ghost.

She was then taken to the Fosston Municipal Hospital at around 8 a.m. where doctors had no idea about how to save her.

As the doctors say, she was breathing really slow and getting just eight heartbeats per minute. There was even no way to insert the thermometer to take the temperature as She was frozen. Everything was dead frozen and there seemed to be no hope of life for her anymore. They just placed warm and moist packs around her body to raise the body temperature hoping it might work.

It was around 1  p.m. when Jean started making noises and requested water. Miraculously, she came back to life after her mother held her hand and prayed.

Interestingly, no amputations were required and the prediction of the doctors of Jean losing both her legs was proved wrong. She didn’t lose her legs or any part of her body. 

After 49 days, Jean was discharged from the hospital and she was as good as new!

UK company Bare Conductive has launched a light kit on Kickstarter that lets you turn any piece of paper into a working, customizable lamp without any soldering or programming required only by the use of electrically conductive electric paint. Each kit lets you build three types of lamps: a touch version, one that dims, and a proximity lamp where brightness is controlled by hovering your hand over a pad.The kit also includes a light-up board (powered by USB) made up of six LEDs that feature three different lighting modes

Apple tends to conceal their internal specs of its phones, especially when it comes to things like battery size or RAM. But Tenaa — China’s telecommunication authority has confirmed that the iPhone X will come with 3GB of RAM and a 2,716mAh battery,Apple claims that the iPhone X will last “up to 2 hours longer than iPhone 7,” although we’ll have to see how the phone holds up in actual use to find out if the larger battery actually makes a significant difference,

For those how cares about, Tenaa just confirmed #iPhone8 and #iPhone8Plus comes with 2GB and 3GB of RAM, reveals 1821mAh and 2675mAh battery pic.twitter.com/NnIvYkVuAk

The tweets in your timeline are about to get longer and more expressive. Twitter said yesterday that it has started testing 280-character tweets, doubling the previous character limit,  but not every Twitter user will be able to use the new limit just yet. Twitter is rolling out the long tweets feature to select accounts as a test, but Twitter user Prof9 has discovered a workaround to get longer tweets a little early. Here’s how you can do it

• Download Tampermonkey for your browser of choice (Eg:Chrome)
• Visit this this Github repository, click the “raw” button, then prompt tampermonkey to “install” the script (or copy and paste the code into a new script in Tampermonkey)
• Now visit twitter.com, make sure the script in running in Tampermonkey, then tweet away

Hello world, this is a large Tweet. This tweet has 280 characters instead of the regular and boring 140, and it's going to change everything. One more thing: you can do this yourself with a userscript in Chrome, it's really simple to do :)

This will work automatically on Twitter.com every time you use the web client to tweet. Tampermonkey's javascript is a harmless workaround that simply bypasses the tweet button limit.

Before we go any further, you must know the International Space Station is scheduled to retire on 2024 at the earliest, Still things aren't certain of what is to happen after that.

First, earlier last week a report in Popular Mechanics suggested that the US and Russia were very much preparing to collaborate on a new lunar space station to replace the ISS, called the Deep Space Gateway.

Speaking to industry sources, the website claimed that the Russian space agency (Roscosmos) would announce its intention to join NASA in putting together the station. This could be used for continued experiments in space, excursions to the surface of the Moon, and even missions to Mars.According to SpaceNews, NASA's administrator Robert Lightfoot noted that the idea for this lunar space station was still a concept. He said they had discussed with some partners about building the station – Europe and Japan, for example – but nothing was set in stone yet

It was anticipated that Roscosmos's head, Igor Komarov, would announce the news at the 68th International Astronautical Congress in Australia this week. However, recently Komarov failed to mention this supposed collaboration.

Although he admitted. "We think that cooperation in the ISS project should continue," he said. However, it's still not clear what Russia's involvement will be in the Deep Space Gateway.

Meanwhile Naoki Okumura – president of the Japanese space agency, JAXA – later said they were “making a serious deliberation as to what JAXA can do if we join the Deep Space Gateway.”

Here's what seems to be a problem, a report from TASS said that Russia was considering sending its own cosmonauts to China’s planned new space station in the coming years, with construction expected to be completed in 2022. The US has infamously refused to cooperate with China at all in space, so who knows if Russian cooperation with China will be a problem.

Evaporation as a renewable energy source is more sustainable than most sources. A new study shows that, if it can be scaled up at a practical cost, it could provide two-thirds of the electricity used in the United States.

Obviously changing liquids to gasses involves the absorption of energy. Water has an unusually high specific latent heat, meaning a high amount of energy required to cause a particular amount to change state. Consequently, it normally represents an energy sink, not a source.

Usually, it would take a long time for the environment to change sufficiently for anything useful to come of this, but the Columbian biophysicist Dr Ozgur Sahin placed his tapes inside a container part filled with water. Some were attached to a shutter. When sunlight evaporated some of the water ina container, the air became humid, stretching the tape and opening the shutter. Outside air caused the humidity to fall, which in turn contracted the tapes, closing the shutter. Even after some of the energy produced was used to control the shutters, enough was left to drive miniature cars or power a small light.

If the engines were placed on water bodies like lakes and reservoirs across America, they could produce 15 Watts per square meter in the right circumstances, and 325 gigawatts nationally, even without tapping the Great Lakes. This equals 69 percent of the electricity America now consumes.

Unfortunately these machines would be expensive, but there would be benefits as well. Somewhat ironically, the machines reduce the rate of evaporation, preserving fresh water in dry areas – exactly the places where the evaporation is fastest, and possibly help paying for the system.

Most importantly, because evaporation is powered by sunlight and wind, so there will be a continuous flow of energy even on still nights, although it will slow down. Consequently, a grid powered by evaporation would need less battery storage than one depending on solar or wind.

Evaporation is far stronger in the south-west - exactly the area where the water the engine preserves would be most valuable. Columbia University

According to a new study conducted by mechanical engineers at the University of Houston,Rubber electronics and sensors that operate normally even when stretched to up to 50 percent of their length could work as artificial skin on robots which will enable them to sense strain, pressure and temperature also can give flexible sensing capabilities to a range of electronic devices, the engineers said.

"It's a piece of rubber, but it has the function of a circuit and sensors," said Cunjiang Yu, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Houston. Yu and this research was published online Sept. 8 in the journal Science Advances. A robot — perhaps even a soft, flexible one, with skin that's able to feel its surroundings—could work side by side with humans without endangering them, Yu said.

In the research, Yu and his colleagues used the electronic stretchable skin to sense the temperature of hot and cold water in a cup and also the robot to spell out "YU LAB"  alphabets from computer signals sent to the robotic hand into finger gestures.

Electronics and robots are typically limited by the stiff and rigid semiconductor materials that make up their computer circuits. As such, most electronic devices lack the ability to stretch, the authors said in the study.

Yu and his team made the stretchable material by mixing really small, semiconducting nanowires 1,000 times thinner than a human hair — into a solution of a widely used, silicon-based organic polymer, called polydimethylsiloxane, or PDMS for short.

When dried at 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60 degrees Celsius), the solution hardened into a stretchable material embedded with millions of tiny nanowires that carry electric current.

The researchers applied strips of the material to the fingers of a robotic hand. The electronic skin worked as a sensor that produced different electrical signals when the fingers bent. Bending a finger joint puts strain on the material, and that reduces electric current flow in a way that can be measured.

"This will change the field of stretchable electronics," he said.
