Long before an advanced nuclear reactor begins to generate power or another complicated project comes to life, researchers and engineers model and simulate it to ensure success. Now a collaboration between Idaho National Laboratory and Orem, Utah-based Coreform makes this modeling and simulation faster, less costly and more efficient.
The partnership improves upon an open-source INL platform to make simulations more true to life, benefiting the many projects that leverage it.
The biggest megalodon tooth ever found was a staggering seven inches - roughly the same size as the average male human hand.
Despite the megalodon going extinct roughly three million years ago, thanks to a drop off in the food chain, scientists are still learning about one of the most feared creatures of the deep.
Researchers from the University of Bristol have now discovered the megalodon teeth grew so big as a result of the shark becoming so huge.
Scientists had thought that the teeth became so big thanks to a change in the shark s diet, but researchers now know that not to be the case.

A pioneering study by University of Bristol researchers finds that the evolution of teeth in the giant prehistoric shark Megalodon and its relatives was a by-product of becoming huge, rather than an adaptation to new feeding habits.
The iconic extinct Megalodon was the largest shark to ever roam the seas. Its name translates to big tooth , making reference to its massive teeth, which represent the most abundant fossil remains of the species. They are broad and triangular, nothing like the curved, blade-like teeth of the closest relatives of Megalodon.
The differences in tooth shape seen in this group of giant sharks has been traditionally thought to reflect a shift in diet. While the oldest relatives probably used their teeth to pierce small and fast-moving prey like fish, Megalodon most likely used them to bite off big chunks of meat from marine mammals or dismember such prey with powerful lateral head shakes.
