Fukushima ‘failings’ add fuel to fire of world’s anti-nuclear movement
A fifth of the UK’s energy comes from nuclear but opposition to the power source persists. Environmentalists say the best argument against nuclear energy are Fukushima and Chernobyl . They say whilst the risks of accidents are tiny, the impact if something goes wrong can be devastating - and the fall-out over what to do with millions of tonnes of water used to cool the power station at Fukushima illustrates that global public confidence in nuclear energy still needs repair. There are always going to be bigger safety concerns about nuclear energy compared to say wind or solar. That coupled mainly with cost issues means environmental groups like Greenpeace are opposed to the building of new nuclear power stations. Advertisement Nuclear energy is expensive, largely due to the safety systems needed, while the cost of renewables like solar fall year on year. The world is being urged to turn its back on fossil fuels like coal and favour low … [Read more...] about Fukushima ‘failings’ add fuel to fire of world’s anti-nuclear movement

Elon Musk’s controversial Neuralink brain chips could be implanted in humans THIS year
ELON Musk's brain chip start-up could begin inserting technology into people's minds later this year. The implants built by California-based Neuralink will one day allow those with physical disabilities to control a computer with their thoughts. The company released a video last week of a brain-chipped monkey apparently playing video games with its mind. Similar technology could make its way to human test subjects by the end of the year if the start-up meets a previous prediction from Musk. The billionaire Tesla boss tweeted in February: "Neuralink is working super hard to ensure implant safety & is in close communication with the FDA. "If things go well, we might be able to do initial human trials later this year." Founded in 2016, Neuralink is developing implantable brain chips that are inserted into regions of the mind that control movement. The company says the technology will one day help people with paralysis to control smartphones and computers with … [Read more...] about Elon Musk’s controversial Neuralink brain chips could be implanted in humans THIS year
Terrifying flying ‘Monkeydactyl’ dinosaur with razor teeth ‘was FIRST creature with opposable thumbs’
EVIDENCE of a sharp toothed tree climbing dinosaur has been discovered and experts are calling it the "Monkeydactyl". The ancient creature is thought be the oldest example of an animal with 'opposed thumbs'. Opposable thumbs are usually a feature associated with humans and monkeys. They set us apart from other species because they help us use our hands to do things like gripping and opening items. The Monkeydactyl fossil was found in the Tiaojishan Formation of Liaoning in China. Scientists also refer to the creature as Kunpengopterus antipollicatus. An international team of researchers used a small CT scanner to find out more about the dinosaur's structure. This is how they discovered its opposable thumbs and beak lined with sharp teeth. The creature also had a 85cm (33.5 inch) wingspan so may have flew between trees when it wasn't climbing up them. Monkeydactyl's have been put in the pterosaurs category of dinosaurs. This group are thought to have … [Read more...] about Terrifying flying ‘Monkeydactyl’ dinosaur with razor teeth ‘was FIRST creature with opposable thumbs’
