The 4th dimension, but not as we know it: Scientists bend rules to catch glimpse of unknown
Two separate teams of scientists have bent the rules of physics to catch a glimpse of evidence on something which, technically, we shouldn’t be able to perceive: a fourth spatial dimension. Everyone is aware of our standard three dimensions of space and one dimension of time, but the two teams, one based in the US […]
UN rights chief refuses to ‘bend knee’, won’t seek reelection in ‘current geopolitical context’

DUPUYTREN’S CONTRACTURE is a fairly common condition that causes one or more fingers to bend into the palm of the hand. People that find it difficult to straighten their fingers should see their GP, urged Channel 4’s Embarrassing Bodies expert, Dr Dawn Harper. Daily Express :: Health Feed
Dupuytren’s contracture: What is disease Margaret Thatcher had which makes fingers BEND?
Dupuytren’s contracture occurs when connective tissue in the palm thickens. The thick tissue forms hard nodules under the skin, which grow to become cords. The cords can tighten, pulling fingers and thumbs toward the palm. While the condition isn’t life-threatening, it can be a nuisance, and could get worse over time, according to the NHS. […]

WATCH: Motorcyclist suffers instant karma when THIS happens as he speeds around bend
Video footage captured from a car’s dash cam showed the moment the bike rider got a dose of instant karma. Captured on the Gold Coast in Australia, the clip followed a busy road with buildings built up on either side of it. The car was in the left lane when all of a sudden a […]
MIT’s mechanical actuators bend and ‘breathe’ as they heat up
Researchers from MIT and other institutions have developed a new type of actuator — a mechanical component relying on movement — that works in extremely hot environments. Their newly-developed material could be used in, say, maintenance robots working in nuclear reactors. To achieve this temperature pliability, the scientists’ new system uses oxide systems like those […]
