Indian great innovators

Akrit Jaswal - The Seven year old Surgeon!

• Born in 1993, he has an estimated IQ of 146.

• At a very young age, he began to illustrate his unusually high intelligence level. He could speak by the time he was ten months  old, and he could alsoread and write at the age of two.

• When he was five years old, he used to read Shakespeare and medical books.

• He performed his first surgery at the age of seven. He never attended any medical school, but yet is known as a physician. When he met an 8-year-old girl whose fingers had been burnt as a baby and fused together, he performed an operation to separate her fingers.

• Jaswal was accepted into Chandigarh College when he was twelve years  old, making him the youngest person to ever get into a university in  India.

A potentially revolutionary invention which charges a phone in 20 seconds flat.

The super-fast charging device has been dubbed a super capacitor by 18-year-old Esha Khare, of Saratoga - as she took home $50,000 from the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, which took place in Phoenix this week.
The device will make waiting hours for a phone to charge a thing of the past and the gizmo packs more energy into a smaller space than traditional phone batteries and holds the charge for longer. Eesha Khare, 18, of Saratoga, Calif., received the Intel Foundation Young Scientist Award of $50,000 for the invention of a tiny energy-storage device With great power: The supercapacitor is flexible and tiny, and is able to handle 10,000 recharge cycles, more than normal batteries by a factor of 10.

So far, Khare has only used her supercapacitor to power a light-emitting diode or LED - but she sees a bright future that one day will see her invention powering cell phones, cars and any gadget that requires a rechargeable battery.

Heading to Harvard, Khare told CBS San Francisco that this is only the start and that she will be setting the world on fire' from here. When asked on NBC news what inspired her to work on the energy-storage technology, she said 'My cell phone battery always dies.

In addition to all legends mentioned in comments above ... my two cents on Intelligence of Indians Globally.
