Cameras hidden inside the zoo have captured the moment London Zoo's first tiger cub.

By -
Five-year-old Sumatran tiger Melati gave birth to the cub on 22 September after a six-minute labour.
The pregnancy, which lasted about 105 days, was kept secret by zookeepers who are "over the moon" about the birth.
The cub was born six months after the opening of the "tiger territory", designed to encourage the endangered sub-species of tiger to breed.
Zookeepers do not yet know the sex of the cub
Zookeeper Paul Kybett said: "We were nervous about the pregnancy, as it was Melati's first cub and we didn't know how she'd react.
"When it came to her due date, we were all watching our monitors with bated breath.
"The actual birth happened very quickly and Melati's maternal instincts kicked in immediately as she started licking the cub all over and it soon began wriggling around - we couldn't have asked for a smoother birth."
He added: "It's still very early days, so we're leaving Melati to take care of her adorable baby, and our cameras allow us to watch them both from a distance.
"So far she's proving to be a doting mum."
Zookeepers do not yet know the sex of the cub, which is in the exhibit's cubbing den with its mother, and expect it will remain away from the public for several weeks.
The cub is the grandchild of the zoo's last tiger cub, Hari, the father of Melati.
Its father is five-year-old Jae Jae, who is playing no part in taking care of the new arrival.

First computer made of carbon nanotubes is unveiled.

By -
The first computer built entirely with carbon nanotubes has been unveiled, opening the door to a new generation of digital devices. "Cedric" is only a basic prototype but could be developed into a machine which is smaller, faster and more efficient than today's silicon models. Nanotubes have long been touted as the heir to silicon's throne, but building a working computer has proven awkward. The breakthrough by Stanford University engineers is published in Nature. Cedric is the most complex carbon-based electronic system yet realised. So is it fast? Not at all. It might have been in 1955. Cedric's vital statistics *.1 bit processor *.Speed: 1 kHz *.178 transistors *.10-200 nanotubes per transistor *.2 billion carbon atoms *.Turing complete *.Multitasking The computer operates on just one bit of information, and can only count to 32. "In human terms, Cedric can count on his hands and sort the alphabet. But he is, in the full sense of the word, ...
