More Singles Are Deciding They Like Life Without A Partner

For years, being single was treated like an unfinished chapter. Find someone, settle down, and move on to the next milestone. New research suggests a surprising number of Americans are no longer waiting for that chapter to begin. One in four single adults say they would stay single even if their “perfect match” appeared tomorrow,…
Scientists Found A Strange Signal Hidden Inside Living Cells

Something inside living cells appears to be producing a signal that researchers cannot easily explain with ordinary chemistry. A team in Shanghai detected an unusual oscillation at 71 terahertz in living human cells, mouse tissues and intact mitochondria, then found that the signal disappeared when the cellular structure was destroyed. The finding has reopened a…
The Three Albums People Turn To When Life Gets Hard

There is a strange moment after a breakup, a death, a career collapse, or one of those weeks when everything seems to go wrong. You open your music library and somehow end up playing the same album you heard during another terrible chapter years ago. For millions of listeners, three records have become especially powerful…
The Big Bang May Have Been A Cosmic Bounce After All

The universe may have had a beginning. Or it may have had a previous life that ended in a colossal collapse before bouncing back into the expanding cosmos we see today. A team of physicists has proposed a strange alternative to the standard picture of cosmic history: the event we call the Big Bang may…
Scientists Turned A Probiotic Into A Tiny Chemotherapy Factory

A bacterium commonly used as a probiotic has been genetically redesigned to manufacture chemotherapy inside tumors instead of sending the drug throughout the body. In experiments involving mice with colorectal cancer, the engineered bacteria helped three of seven treated tumors completely regress, while also triggering an immune response that affected cancer beyond the original treatment…
Elon Musk Just Gave Workers a Blunt Warning About AI’s Next Move

For years, workers have been told that artificial intelligence could transform the way they earn a living. Some companies see AI as a tool that will remove repetitive tasks and allow employees to focus on more valuable work, while critics fear businesses will use the technology to replace people wherever possible. Now, after a meeting…
Scientists Program Bacteria To Consume Tumors From The Inside

A cancer treatment that sends microscopic organisms into a tumor sounds like something from a science-fiction movie, but researchers at the University of Waterloo are exploring a version of that idea in the laboratory. Their approach uses engineered bacteria that can grow inside the oxygen-starved center of solid tumors and potentially consume the nutrients there…
