A UAE-led investigation into the UPS 747-400 that crashed in Dubai this month is now focusing on risks posed by freight carried aboard the plane after flight data recorder indicated smoke or fire was coming from areas where cargo is stored. The General Civil Aviation Authority says flight data showed alarms had warned of fire or smoke in the three-year-old freighter's main deck and lower aft cargo compartment.
The statement says the cargo plane's pilots struggled to see their primary flight instrument displays as thick smoke filled the cockpit. Investigators had previously pointed to visibility and communication problems in the September 3 crash. The GCAA's head has said it appeared the plane was mainly carrying electronic goods. *AP

Business Insights
- Canada and Mexico are significant energy suppliers to the US, providing the majority of oil and natural gas imports
- The introduction of tariffs could hinder the US's clean energy initiatives by raising input costs for materials like nickel
- US domestic suppliers might benefit from higher prices, but overall oil consumption is expected to decrease due to elevated costs

WHAT IS GRAPHENE?
It was discovered in 2004, when Russian-born Manchester scientists Andrei Geim and Kostya Novoselov were experimenting with sticky tape and graphite, the material used as lead in pencils.
Placing the tape on the graphite and peeling it, they managed to rip off thin flakes of carbon. In the beginning they got flakes consisting of many layers of graphene. But when they repeated the process many times, the flakes got thinner.
By separating the graphite fragments repeatedly, they managed to create flakes that were just one atom thick. Their experiment led to graphene being isolated for the very first time.
In 2010, Geim and Novoselov were awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics.
