Scientists are not known for their conformity, but there is one topic on which the great majority agree: being part of the EU is good for British science. A recent survey in the science journal Nature showed that 83 per cent of UK scientists want Britain to stay in the EU, a much higher proportion than in the general population. Why is this the case?

Thanks to new regulatory approval, so-called modular reactors can finally start replacing old fossil fuel plants.

I modeled it for a personal project called Laboratory, which will soon be introduced to the Unreal Engine 4.
