Pterosaur: Unique flying reptile soared above Isle of Skye
EDINBURGH — A unique species of flying reptile, or pterosaur, that lived 168-166 million years ago has been discovered on the Isle of Skye.Its wings, shoulders, legs and backbone were found in a rock on a beach, but the fossil's skull was missing.Scientists were surprised to find a pterosaur from this period off Scotland's west coast — they were thought to mostly live in China.The creature — called Ceoptera — is the second pterosaur found on Skye.Its name comes from the Scottish Gaelic word cheò, meaning mist, and is a reference to the Gaelic name of Isle of Syke — Eilean a' Cheò or Isle of Mist.Fossils from this era, called the Middle Jurassic, are extremely rare, says Dr Liz Martin-Silverstone at the University of Bristol who used a CT scanner to make a 3D digital...

Huge atom-smasher bid to find missing 95% of Universe
GENEVA — Researchers at the world's biggest particle accelerator in Switzerland have submitted proposals for a new, much larger, supercollider.Its aim is to discover new particles that would revolutionize physics and lead to a more complete understanding of how the Universe works.If approved, it will be three times larger than the current giant machine.But its £12bn price tag has raised some eyebrows, with one critic describing the expenditure as "reckless".That money -- which is only the initial construction cost -- would come from member nations of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (Cern) including the UK, and some experts have questioned whether it makes economic sense.The biggest achievement of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was the detection of a new...
