Scientists have discovered a new reef in Australia's Great Barrier Reef that's taller than the Empire State Building. Marine researchers discovered this reef structure 80 miles off the coast of Cape York in Queensland, Australia, six miles from the outer edge of the great reef, as reported by Discovery. The mile-wide reef stands taller than the Empire State Building found in New York City, which makes this reef more than 380 meters, or 1250 feet, tall. It's also the first detached reef this large to be found in 120 years of exploration in the Great Barrier Reef. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/07/30/scientists-revive-100-million-year-old-lifeforms-ign-now"] According to Discovery's report, it was a team aboard the Schmidt Ocean Institute research vessel that discovered this new reef. They found it while mapping the seafloor using an underwater robot, which is how they learned that the reef is embedded into the floor of the sea and stands entirely on its own from there. The research team's leader, Robin Beaman said that, despite the reef's isolation, it's beaming with life in the form of fish and other sea life. This Empire State Building-sized reef is one of eight large detached reefs in the northern region of the Great Barrier Reef and it's the first discovery of its kind since the 1880s. Scientists say it was likely established in the reef 20 million years ago during the Miocene epoch. "It's a big reef not to have known about," the research team's principal investigator, Tom Bridge, said. "We know more about the surface of the moon than we know about what lies in the depths beyond our coastlines."

Limbitless Solutions, the non-profit organization creating 3D printed bionic arms for children and adults, has partnered with Ubisoft to bring a prosthetic sleeve modeled after Kassandra's bracers in Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Dubbed the "Bracers of the Underworld," Limbitless Solutions began testing interchangeable sleeves in 2019, becoming the first company to do so. Limbitless aims to bring lower-cost prosthetics to the masses through the use of 3D printing and plans to do so while pairing it with custom artistic designs that recipients can personalize online.

Limbitless Solutions’ arms have interchangeable parts called "sleeves." The newest sleeve design from @ubisoft @assassinscreed can fit an existing Limbitless #bionic arm. This sleeve inspires Bionic kids and adults to discover their inner #strength like Kassandra. #AssassinsCreed pic.twitter.com/K1ZfkMlXsO

School of Visual Arts & Design professor and Limbitless member Matt Dombrowski said, “Transcending the classroom walls with digital sculpting, 3D printing and airbrush painting techniques is essential to our success. This collaboration provides our Limbitless’ UCF undergraduate students an opportunity to utilize digital and traditional art tools to bring to life the Assassin's Creed series’ designs.” [ignvideo width=610 height=374 url=https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/07/24/assassins-creed-odyssey-and-origins-in-7-minutes] Limbitless has partnered with many other studios in the past to create pop culture-related prosthetics including the recent Cyberpunk 2077-themed prosthetic arm modeled after Keanu Reeves' Johnny Silverhand. These arms will be donated to children and adults in upcoming clinical trials beginning in 2021. In 2017, Limbitless designed an Iron Man-themed prosthetic arm for a seven-year-old boy who was gifted it by none other than Iron Man himself, actor Robert Downey, Jr. Two years later, Limbitless partnered with 343 Industries to create two prosthetic arms based on Halo's Master Chief.
