The Spanish government is considering an asylum request from an albino African who claims he might be killed in a witchcraft ritual if sent home. The 18-year-old from Benin, known only as Moszy, arrived in Tenerife last week with 60 other African immigrants. Some African nations have reported a growing trade in albino body parts, which some witchdoctors believe can bring wealth and good fortune. The Spanish Commission for Refugee Aid described Moszy's fears as reasonable. The director of the commission, Juan Carlos Lorenzo, told reporters: "In Africa albinos are considered to be a bad omen or a factor of good luck. "It is logical that he fears for his life because among different ethnic groups his body may be used in a sacrifice ritual." Last year, a BBC reporter in Tanzania posed as a businesswoman who wanted to get rich and went to various witchdoctors. In some cases she was offered, for a starting price of $2,000, a potion made of albino body parts - including legs, hair, hands, and... See less

An eerie picture of a figure in period costume at the window of a Scottish castle has won a competition to find the world's most convincing "ghostly image". The picture, taken in May 2008, appears to show a man or woman wearing a ruff, looking through a barred window at Tantallon Castle in North Berwick, East Lothian. No mannequins are used at the castle, and there are no costumed guides. Three photographic experts have confirmed that the photograph was not manipulated. Christopher Aitchison, a visitor who took the photograph said: "I was not aware of anyone or anything being present in my picture, only noticing the anomaly when I got home. I did not notice any nice old ladies wearing ruffs walking around the stairs! "Some people have suggested it's just light reflecting on rocks, and one person suggested it may be King James V of Scotland." Psychologist Professor Richard Wiseman, who has made many studies of the supernatural, launched the investigation a month ago. He asked members of... See less

The world's first moving building, a 80-storey tower with revolving floors giving an shifting shape, will be built in Dubai, its architect says. The Dynamic Tower design is made up of 80 pre-fabricated apartments which will spin independently of one another. "It's the first building that rotates, moves, and changes shape," said architect David Fisher, who is Italian, at a news conference in New York. "This building never looks the same, not once in a lifetime," he added. The 420-metre (1,378-foot) building's apartments would spin a full 360 degrees, at voice command, around a central column by means of 79 giant power-generating wind turbines located between each floor.

A teenager from India who stands at a tiny 1ft 11in (58cm) tall is the smallest girl in the world. Jyoti Amge, 14, is shorter than the average two-year-old child and only weighs 11lb (5kg). Scroll down for more... She has a form of dwarfism called achondroplasia and won't grow any taller than her current height. Due to her size, Jyoti has to have clothes and jewellery made for her. She sleeps in a tiny bed and uses special plates and cutlery to eat, as normal-sized utensils are too big. Despite this, she goes to a regular school in Nagpur, central India, where she has her own small desk and chair, and her classmates treat her like any other student. Jyoti also shares common interests with other teenagers, with a love for DVDs and fashionable dresses. She said: 'I am proud of being small. I love all the attention I get. I'm not scared of being small and I don't regret it. 'I'm just the same as other people. I eat like you, dream like you. I don't feel any different.' Jyoti is treated... See less

A tiny chemical "brain" which could one day act as a remote control for swarms of nano-machines has been invented. The molecular device - just two billionths of a metre across - was able to control eight of the microscopic machines simultaneously. Writing in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, scientists say it could also be used to boost the processing power of future computers. Many experts have high hopes for nano-machines in treating disease. "If [in the future] you want to remotely operate on a tumour you might want to send some molecular machines there," explained Dr Anirban Bandyopadhyay of the National Institute for Materials Science, Tsukuba, Japan. "But you cannot just put them into the blood and [expect them] to go to the right place." Dr Bandyopadhyay believes his device may offer a solution. One day they may be able to guide the nanobots through the body and control their functions, he said. "That kind of device simply did not exist; this is the first time we... See less
