|Bristol|4 min read

At night two dog units patrol beneath a pair of large black gates. “We call them Jurassic Park gates because they look like there should be a Tyrannosaurus or something behind here,” says Simon McIntosh-Smith, a professor at Bristol University, as the pistons hiss open. Behind them is no dinosaur, “just a supercomputer”.
