The US Department of Agriculture has approved the sale of chicken made from animal cells, allowing two California companies to offer lab-grown meat to restaurant tables and eventually, supermarket shelves. This marks the first time that U.S. regulators have approved the sale of such products, and could have a major impact on the food industry by reducing the environmental impact of raising animals for food and providing an alternative for those who wish to avoid animal products. The approval is a major milestone in the development of lab-grown meats, and more companies are expected to follow suit in the near future.
A Canadian P-3 aircraft detected underwater noises in the search area of the Titan, prompting the Coast Guard to relocate ROV operations to explore the origin. Victor Vescovo recently set a Guinness World Record for the longest distance traveled at the deepest part of the ocean, but the underwater noises remain a mystery. Further analysis is being conducted in hopes of shedding light on the origin.
OceanGate's submersible, the Titan, has gone missing on a trip to the Titanic wreck site in the North Atlantic. Search and rescue teams are combing the area for the vessel, which is equipped with features that allow it to rise from the depths of the sea without electricity. David Pogue, a CBS News correspondent who was aboard the Titan last year, noted that the submersible did not have a beacon similar to an aircraft’s emergency locator transmitter, but that it had previously gotten “lost on the sea floor for a few hours” and still had communication with its mother ship. The cause of the disappearance is still unknown.
