Matthew Hancock, conservative energy and climate change minister has accepted £18,000 from a key supporter of the UK’s leading climate sceptic lobby group.

As per official records, five donations have been taken by Hancock over the years from City currency manager Neil Record. Neil Record has also provided money to the Global Warming Policy Foundation.

In November 2014, the latest donation was given to the MP. According to the Electoral Commission, the Conservative party received over £300,000 form Record. Hancock is the only individual MP who has been supported by Record.

The first two supporters of the organization to confirm their donations were Record and Lord Nigel Vinson. The confirmation was done after years of speculation about who was financing the outfit.

According to researchers, they have discovered 90%-complete ‘terror bird’ skeleton on an Argentinean beach. The skeleton suggests that these big-beaked predators had good low-frequency hearing and deep voices.

The researchers said that it is most full skeleton that ever found for one of these menacing beasts and also represents a new species. The shape of its inner ear has been reconstructed by researchers. After this, the researchers were able to know about the animal's hearing.

This also provides hints about the animal's hearing that was likely lower than that of modern birds. It has been suggested that they used low-pitched calls to communicate. The discovery was made by Argentinian paleontologists in the cliffs of La Estafeta beach.

The concept of electromagnetism is not completely understood by the researchers yet. Now with the help of a new breakthrough, researchers will be able to understand one of the mysteries of electromagnetism that could show them the way of solving the mysteries related to electromagnetism, quantum mechanics overlap.

The discovery was done by the researchers from the University of Cambridge. It has the ability to enable design of antennas small enough to be integrated into an electronic chip.

For wireless communications, such kind of ultra-small antennas, the so-called ‘last frontier’ of semiconductor design, would be a massive leap.

In a recent report published on Thursday, FedEx Corporation target price has been raised from $200 to $205 by analysts at Citi Research.

On Tuesday, the company acquired TNT Express, following which the research firm reiterated its Buy rating on the stock of FedEx. In the report, the analysts said that FedEx is one of the most compelling stories in Transports.

For the last four years, TNT Express has made consistent loses, so in order to cover its operating expenses, TNT had to sell its assets.

FedEx has made an acquisition deal for purchasing TNT Express for 8 Euros per share. Total worth of the deal is around $4.8 billion. However, it is yet to be approved by the European authorities.

According to reports, a moose was seen wandering around western Nebraska. The rare sighting of the animal was reported by people living near the North Platte River Valley along the Nebraska Panhandle.

While confirming the accounts of the locals, officials of the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission stated that the moose was seen roaming around the area by a number of people for the past few weeks. According to the officials, the latest recorded sighting of the moose was in Morrill County in Nebraska.

What makes the moose sighting in the area rare is that moose typically prefer habitats with cooler climate.

According to a report released on Thursday by California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA), the state's air quality is in much better shape than it was in 1990.

The CAPCOA report is compiled from information provided by the administrators of 35 air quality management districts in California. The reported released on Thursday was the second major report this year that pointed to better air quality in the region.

The issued report showed that compared to levels in 2014, toxic emissions from all sources have dropped 80%. Smog-forming emissions declined by 50% since 1990.
