Mother of three self-immolates in Tibet

A young Tibetan woman died after setting herself afire in western China in the latest incident of pro-democracy protesters self-immolating, a rights group has said. The latest incident coincided with reports claiming that many Tibetans were detained in Lhasa following the case where two Tibetans self-immolated in front of a famous temple in the Tibetan Autonomous Region (TAR) earlier this week.

More than 30 monks and civilians have self-immolated in the last one year.

London-based Free Tibet identified the latest protester as 30-year-old Rechok, mother of three children. The incident took place front of the

German teen Shouryya Ray solves 300-year-old mathematical riddle posed by Sir Isaac Newton

Mr Ray won a research award for his efforts and has been labeled a genius by the German media, but he put it down to "curiosity and

‘India capable of making missiles with 8,000 km range’

Bangalore: India is capable of developing missiles that can hit targets located at more than 8,000 km away, a top official on Wednesday said.

Viruses used to power tiny device

Do register here to earn monthly cash

Scientists in the US have developed a way to generate electricity using viruses.

The researchers built a generator with a postage stamp-sized electrode and based on a small film of specially engineered viruses.

When a finger tapped the electrode, the viruses converted the mechanical energy into electricity.

The research by a team in California has been published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology.

Materials that can convert mechanical energy into electricity are known as "piezoelectric".

"More research is needed, but our work is a promising first step toward the development of personal power generators, actuators for

Bomb hits convoy carrying UN observers in Syria

A roadside bomb hit a Syrian military truck Wednesday just seconds after the head of the UN observer team drove by in a convoy, demonstrating the fragility of the international plan to end the country’s bloodshed.

In Washington, meanwhile, President Barack Obama took steps to extend sanctions against the government of President Bashar al-Assad, saying Syria poses an “unusual and extraordinary threat” to U.S. national security and diplomatic goals.

The attack, which the regime said wounded 10 Syrian soldiers, emphasized the limits of the international community’s plan to

Atletico win the Europa League

Radamel Falcao justified his golden boot billing by firing Atletico Madrid to a 3-0 win over Athletic Bilbao to earn Europa League glory.

The Colombia striker produced two moments of magic in the first half before Diego's late goal put the seal on Atletico's second title in three years.

Diego Simeone's side were vastly superior in their eagerly awaited all-Spanish final against Athletic Bilbao as Marcelo Bielsa's men froze on the big occasion.

Falcao's 11th and 12th goals of the tournament not only earned him the top scorer prize ahead of Schalke's Klaas Jan Huntelaar but took his

Dazzling Venus to be at its brightest this week

This week, step outside any night about an hour after sunset and you will get to see the brilliant planet Venus at the western sky. And if you look a little more closely and you’ll see that the planet is surrounded by bright stars. Although Venus is always one of the brightest objects in the sky, this week it is at its brightest, Discovery News reported.

That’s because of a combination of circumstances.

The solar system’s two innermost planets, Mercury and Venus, go through a series of phases similar to the moon, as they are lit from the side at different
