A recent study published in Nature Genetics reveals alarming risks with CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology. These “gene scissors,” designed to precisely cut and modify DNA, often cause unintended and potentially dangerous genetic changes, which can increase cancer risk in humans and animals and disrupt the genetic stability of plants, affecting
A new study by the Alzheimer’s Association has found a surprising link between exposure to wildfire smoke and a higher risk of being diagnosed with dementia.

They’ve uncovered a massive, 52,000-year-old chromosome from a well-preserved mammoth fossil in Siberia, offering an unprecedented look at the ancient beast’s DNA. This massive genetic find, which is
Over 2 billion people around the world drink alcohol, with Europe having the highest consumption rates, according to a World Health Organization (WHO) report. In contrast, countries in North Africa and the Middle East show the lowest rates due to cultural and religious reasons. Alarmingly, 2.6 million people die from
A recent study (view below) reveals that music could be the ultimate secret to keeping our minds sharp as we age. Researchers discovered that both young and older adults performed equally well in recognizing and remembering musical themes, even in a bustling concert environment. This suggests that our brains stay
Despite spending billions on healthcare, the United States has shockingly high rates of maternal deaths compared to other wealthy countries, with the situation worsening in recent years. A new report reveals that the U.S. has a maternal mortality rate of 22 deaths per 100,000 live births, far exceeding that of
Nevada has just launched the largest solar and battery energy storage project in the U.S., called the Gemini Solar + Storage project. Located near Las Vegas, this huge setup features 1.8 million solar panels and 380 megawatts of battery storage. It can power about 10% of Nevada’s peak electricity needs
A new study involving nearly 10 million people has linked eating ultra-processed foods like snacks, sugary cereals, and ready-to-eat meals to 32 serious health issues, including heart disease, cancer, Type 2 diabetes, and even anxiety. Dr. Zheng Yuanyu explained on the “Health 1+1” program how these foods are not only
A faulty update from CrowdStrike has caused widespread chaos, rendering hundreds of thousands of Windows computers and servers unusable across the globe, affecting major sectors like transport, broadcasting, finance, and retail. The glitch triggered an endless blue-screen-of-death loop, forcing IT teams to manually intervene, often needing to work through the
