Elon Musk Unveils Prototype Highspeed Transport Tunnel

Elon Musk has unveiled the prototype underground tunnel in Los Angeles. The goal is to create a network to ease chronic traffic congestion. The prototype tunnel is only a mile (1.6km) long now. The cars can travel at speeds up to 150mph (240km/h) inside the tunnel.

So how the Highspeed Transport Tunnel will work?

Elon Musk said “The profound breakthrough is very simple: it’s the ability to turn a normal car into a passively stable vehicle by adding the deployable tracking wheels, stabilising wheels, so that it can travel at high speed through a small tunnel,

The way the loop will work is you will have main arteries that are travelling at 150mph and when you want to go to an exit, you will have an off ramp.So you can travel the vast majority of your journey without stopping at 150mph and only slow down when you get to your exit, and then automatically transfer from one tunnel to another. It’s like a 3D highway system underground basically”.

 

New Lenovo Phone has Snapdragon 855, 12GB RAM & 512GB storage

Lenovo’s Z5 Pro GT will be the most powerful Android phone on the market once the phone is released in January 2019.
The phone will cost around $640 US. Here are the specs for Z5 Pro GT –

• 12GB RAM,
• 512GB storage, with no SD card slot. Too bad.
• 24mp camera (dual).
• Screen size6.39 inches
• Plus, all the other amenities that a smart phone should have.

Lenovo also had a similar phone Lenovo Z5 Pro, which was released in November. But Lenovo’s Z5 Pro GT out-shined the previous one. Too bad, this phone does not support 5G.

Very High Levels Chemicals Found in Great Barrier Reef Turtles

The Great Barrier Reef the 2,300km-long ecosystem, is the largest living thing on Earth. Located off the coast of Queensland in northeastern Australia, this ecosystem is even visible from outer space. It’s home to countless species of marine life. For years scientist have conducting numerous research in this place.

List of Chemicals
In a recent five-year long study scientist have found alarming levels of certain chemicals in turtles. Study found high level of cobalt, antimony and manganese in turtle’s blood and food. In some areas cobalt levels are even higher than other. Cobalt is essential for human and other life forms, but high levels of cobalt can be toxic. Turtle’s health are in poor state now.

The research was launched after a mass stranding of green turtles in 2012.
