Chinese man has new nose grown on forehead

   A man from China's Fujian province has had a new nose grown on his forehead following a traffic accident last year.

   The 22-year-old man suffered severe nasal trauma and his subsequent treatment caused his nasal cartilage to corrode. Surgeons came up with the idea of growing a nose on his forehead.

   After nine months of growth, surgeons say that the nose is in good shape and the transplant will be performed soon.

Science sheds light on the moment our lights go out.

   Scientists have discovered more about what happens to the brain as we die.

   A study on rats shows that the brain experiences a huge surge of electricity during the moment of death, suggesting that they are experiencing a higher state of consciousness.

It could explain why people claim to see white light or "life flash before their eyes" during near-death experiences.

Dr Jason Braithwaite from the University of Birmingham says that since this surge is happening in rats, it could also happen in humans.
