Goms Bridge



The "Goms Bridge", built and opened in summer 2015, connects the two hiking areas of Bellwald and Ernen as well as the Rottenweg and the Gommer Höhenweg. At the same time, it provides Bellwald with a connection to the cantonal Gletsch-Lake Geneva cycle path and an all year-round connection to the Binntal Nature Park.

The bridge which is 280-metres long and 1.40-metres wide is open all year round for hikers, wheelchair users and bicycles.

For those who only want to pay a short visit to Goms Bridge, parking spaces are available in Fürgangen. We would ask everyone to use the underpass for crossing the road.
If you're feeling hungry and want to digest your impressions while enjoying a drink and a snack, there are refreshment stops on both sides of the Goms Bridge.

This Teen Translated a Bible Verse Into DNA and Injected It Into Himself

Image
Adrien Locatelli, 16, from Grenoble, France, posted a  short paper  to the Open Science Framework preprint server in which he claimed to produce strands of DNA that corresponded to verses from the Bible and the Quran. According to Locatelli, he then injected the DNA containing the Bible verses into his left thigh, and the DNA with the Quranic verses into his right thigh. “I did this experiment only for the symbol of peace between religions and science,” Locatelli told me in an email. “It’s just symbolic.” The proteins created by Locatelli are basically just short strands of DNA, which is made of nucleotides that can only be combined in specific ways. Previous research has shown that artificial nucleotides can be used to store data, such as  the key to a Bitcoin wallet , but so far they haven’t actually been injected into a person. Locatelli said he matched various characters in the Hebrew alphabet to the nucleotides in order to ...

Chinese scientist who produced gene-edited babies may be executed.

Image
In late November of last year, Chinese scientist He Jiankui revealed to the world that he had pursued a goal of genetically altering human embryos, succeeding in altering the genes of multiple babies which were then carried to term and born. It rocked the genetic science community and drew ire from many researchers around the world. Now, He may be facing a much stiffer penalty than public backlash. As  The Telegraph  reports, his unexplained “disappearance” in December was actually the result of being placed in state custody. The scientist now spends his days under armed guard as the Chinese government decides how to proceed. Depending on how officials rule, one potential outcome may be execution. His work, which was aimed at giving children of HIV-positive parents the ability to resist the disease prior to being born, resulted in at least two live births thus far. The two baby girls are reportedly healthy, but that doesn’t necessarily factor into the thinking of thos...

An egg has successfully dethroned Kylie Jenner as the record holder of the most-liked photo on Instagram.  An account with the handle, world_record_egg, posted a single photo of a standing egg on Jan 5, with the caption "Let’s set a world record together and get the most liked post on Instagram. Beating the current world record held by Kylie Jenner (18 million)! We got this."  In the truest form of internet camaraderie, users from all around the world banded together to spread the word, join the #EggGang, and become #EggSoldiers. It was not an  *cough*  overeasy   task, and the community hatched  (bear with us here)  plans to make it work.  Their efforts were not in vain. The post has since gathered 23 million likes at the time of writing, with netizens flooding Kylie's Instagram comments section with egg emojis and the hashtag #EggGang. The previous record, held by Kylie, belonged to the first...
