The collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc "may augur an even larger impending global 'financial tsunami'." Threatened by the financial tsunami, the world must consider building a financial order no longer dependent on the United States, a leading Chinese state newspaper said on Wednesday. "The eruption of the U.S. sub-prime crisis has exposed massive loopholes in the United States' financial oversight and supervision." China is a major buyer of U.S. Treasury bonds, and through its sovereign wealth fund it has taken stakes in two large U.S. financial institutions. Commentary suggested China must brace for grave economic fallout and look to alternatives, saying the crisis brings to mind the Great Depression of the 1930s. "Lehman Brothers announced bankruptcy will not only have a domino effect on the global financial world, it will bring a shock to the world economy."

Arctic border conflict - A senior US Coast Guard commander warns of conflict in the Arctic unless border disputes are resolved.

Robo-skeleton lets paralysed walk - A robotic suit is helping people paralysed from the waist down do what was previously considered impossible - stand, walk and climb stairs. ReWalk users wear a backpack device and braces on their legs and select the activity they want from a remote control wrist band. Leaning forwards activates body sensors setting the robotic legs in motion. Users walk with crutches, controlling the suit through changes in centre of gravity and upper body movements. The device effectively mimics the exoskeletion of a crab.

Mind control helmets - the U.S. Army has just awarded a $4 million contract to begin developing "thought helmets" that would harness silent brain waves for secure communication among troops. Ultimately, the Army hopes the project will "lead to direct mental control of military systems by thought alone." The military's sophisticated system may be a decade or two away from reality, let alone implementation. Video gamers are eagerly awaiting a crude commercial version of brain wave technology — a $299 headset from San Francisco-based Emotiv Systems — in summer 2009.

A "Cyber cold war" waged over the world's computers threatens to become one of the biggest threats to security in the next decade, according to a security report.

Researchers have shown that young chimps outperform adult humans in a memory test, a Concentration-like game using numerals on a computer screen. “We were very surprised to find this. But it’s a very concrete, simple fact. Young chimps are superior to human adults in a memory task.” Their ability is similar to the phenomenon called eidetic imagery, in which a person memorizes details of a complex scene at a glance. This so-called photographic memory is present in a very small number of children, and is often associated with autism. Perhaps somewhere back in common evolution, humans and chimps had this ability. But humans lost it because they gained something else, communicating through a complex language. Adult chimps lose the ability, too. As the chimps age, their memory capability is likely otherwise occupied.

Britain 'faces power cuts threat' - The UK will experience prolonged power cuts in about five years unless urgent action is taken, a report warns. A third of generation capacity is due to be decommissioned by 2020, but is not being replaced fast enough. "The current credit crunch is a head cold compared to the double pneumonia this country will suffer if we don't implement an energy policy urgently. That is why security of supply now takes priority over everything, even climate change."

Save your marriage and the environment - Increasing incidences of divorce around the world have a negative impact on the environment, leading to a less efficient use of energy and resources and bigger expenditures on utilities.

Can we save the world by 2015? - This year the UN's Nobel Prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released a series of reports that laid to rest any doubts that global warming is real — and outlined the frightening consequences of continued inaction.
