Scientists in the UK have been given the green light to genetically modify human embryos for the first time. The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) regulator has approved a licence for researchers at the Francis Crick Institute in London to use gene editing in research.
Scientists have concluded that Earth is actually made up from two planets which came together in a head-on collision that was so powerful it formed the Moon. Initially scientists believed that the Moon was created when a smaller planet called Theia grazed the Earth and broke it up, sending a small piece of it hurling into space where it caught in Earth’s gravity. However, scientists have now discovered after studying Moon rocks that their oxygen isotapes are the same as on Earth.

American technological giant Google is working on building ultrafast 5G networks that will be powered by solar-powered drones, in order to provide high-speed internet connectivity to the world. Techradar reports: The secret project, codenamed SkyBender, is currently in a trial phase at Spaceport America in New Mexico, the Guardian reports. The plan could potentially offer data speeds around 40 times faster than the maximum 4G/LTE speeds currently available to smartphones and other devices.
