Reaching 100 sounds like a miracle, yet ultimately, biology still negotiates the deal. One new study asked whether meat eaters gain an edge in extreme old age. It also asked whether people who avoid eating meat lose that edge. The researchers did not study midlife habits or gym routines. They studied adults already aged 80...

Earth’s climate is moving away from the stable range that supported human societies for thousands of years. A new analysis in One Earth argues that the biggest danger is not only more heat. The sharper risk is a shift into a self-reinforcing pathway, where warming triggers feedback loops and tipping dynamics that keep pushing temperatures...

Liver cancer often begins as a slow injury inside the liver. Many tumors follow years of inflammation, fat buildup, or scarring.

Living to 100 rarely comes down to a single “longevity gene” or a magic supplement. Improving longevity usually comes from avoiding the illnesses that steal years, mobility, and independence in midlife. Researchers who track large groups for decades keep finding the same theme: people who reach older ages in good shape spend fewer years living...

Controversial films often shock audiences with violence, yet explicit sex can trigger a sharper jolt. In 2005, a Danish erotic drama called All About Anna stepped into that uneasy space. On the surface, it looks like a familiar relationship story: flirtation, guarded independence, and the destabilising return of an old flame. Then it delivers something...

An iOS update should be the easiest decision on a busy day. Tap install, grab the fixes, and carry on. With iOS 26.2.1, many people did exactly that. Then reports started piling up from users who saw their iPhones change overnight. Some noticed battery drain that did not settle after a few hours. Others ran...

It often starts with small changes that others notice first. A teen sleeps less, becomes unusually suspicious, or reacts to ordinary comments as if they carry hidden threats. Then the shift accelerates: concentration collapses, school attendance drops, and family conversations turn tense and confusing. Many people link psychosis mainly with schizophrenia, yet clinicians also treat...

Near-death experience stories can start with a scene so normal it barely registers. A hospital bed. A routine test. A nurse adjusting straps and asking small questions. Angela Harris says her own near-death experience began exactly like that in 2015, during a tilt-table test meant to explain repeated fainting. Then, she says, the room dropped...
