Interesting to see that the performance of this monster chip is 75 million polygons per second - which is what Sony claimed playstation 2 could muster. It shows just how stupid these claims were in the first place.
How do you think we got to the stage we are today? If scientists didn't take risks we would still be banging rocks together (oh no, sorry - we might get shards in our eyes).
Obviously these scientists will have taken containment precautions. Most comments in this stream seem to think that a few men in white coats found a lump of salt and put it in some water - hey presto! Instant life!
The odds are this will lead to all sorts of new discoveries about our planet's history, and technologies including medicines for the future.
