Cloned monkey still alive after two years – so are we nearer to replicating humans? | Science & Tech News
admin
A cloned rhesus monkey has survived for more than two years and has led to “valuable insights” into the scientific process, according to experts. Scientists in China used a modified version of the same technique that was used to create Dolly the sheep, the world’s first cloned mammal. Out of the 113 cloned embryos, 11…

Extreme global warming could eventually wipe out humans, first-ever supercomputer climate models warn | Science & Tech News
admin
Extreme global warming will likely wipe all mammals – including humans – off the face of the Earth in 250 million years, according to a new scientific study. Temperatures could spiral to 70C (158F) and transform the planet into a “hostile environment devoid of food and water”, the research warns. The planet would heat up…
