aristarchus writes:Changes in technology often produce ethical quandaries that did not previously exist. The successful transplantation of human hearts lead some to re-define death as "brain-death", so as to allow removal of organs for transplants.

RandomFactor writes:New measurements of Proton radius have shown that 2010 measurements, which showed an unknown interaction between protons and muons causing a puzzling reduction in proton radius, were in error.Almost ten years ago German physicists reported a reduction in the radius of Protons when electrons were replaced with Muons in Hydrogen atoms. This lead to hopes for new physics (the best kind) but these hopes have now been dashed.

The design is based on nuclear plants used in submarines but with the prime minister of Australia labelling the idea as being 'loopy' it may not get off the ground.
