Abstract: In this paper we establish some new supercongruences motivated by the well-known fact $li{m}_{noinfty}(1+1/n{)}^n=e$. Let $p>3$ be a prime. We prove that ${\displaystyle }$sum_{k=0}^{p-1}�inom{-1/(p+1)}k^{p+1}equiv 0 pmod{p^5} mbox{and} sum_{k=0}^{p-1}�inom{1/(p-1)}k^{p-1}equiv frac{2}{3}p^4B_{p-3} pmod{p^5},${\displaystyle }$ where $B_0,B_1,B_2,ldots$ are Bernoulli numbers. We also show that for any $ainmathbbZ$ with $pmida$ we have ${\displaystyle }$sum_{k=1}^{p-1}frac1kleft(1+frac ak ight)^kequiv -1pmod{p} mbox{and} sum_{k=1}^{p-1}frac1{k^2}left(1+frac ak ight)^kequiv 1+frac 1{2a}pmod{p}.${\displaystyle }$
