And the result was shocking even for the researchers. Deep rumbles, unearthly moans, high pitched screeching: these are but a few elements of the alien soundscape researchers have now recorded for the first time at Challenger Deep, the deepest known valley on the seafloor. Challenger Deep has been sitting at the bottom of the Mariana trench at 36,000 feet beneath the ocean surface for exploration. But in reality, we know very little about what life is like down there: as with most places where the sun never shines, the Mariana trench is shrouded in mystery....

In 1967, researchers believed that they had the right solution to the problem: a mechanical coronary heart fuelled by radioactive decay. Yes, an atomic coronary heart. Two separate government-funded teams of researchers, the National Heart Institute (NHI) and the Atomic Energy Agency (AEC) for a decade have been pursuing the dream of designing a nuclear-powered heart. They stated that this was the only feasible solution for substituting diseased hearts. While the other power source for artificial hearts was conventional batteries, but these had some very huge limitations....
