A new study has revealed something quite surprising — men with higher levels of psychopathic traits may actually turn up the charm in dating situations by pretending to be more honest, emotional, and agreeable than they really are. In other words, some men might fake being more caring to appear more attractive to women.

The research, published in Evolutionary Psychological Science, explored how personality shifts when men are asked to present themselves in a way that would appeal to a potential romantic partner.

A recent report by the World Economic Forum (WEF) has some big news for the future of work—about 25% of jobs worldwide will undergo significant changes by 2027.

The report, titled The Future of Jobs, is based on a survey of around 800 companies employing over 11 million people across the globe. It analyzed trends based on data from more than 673 million jobs.

So, what’s causing this shift?
The short answer? Technology.

In a major leap forward for brain science, Chinese researchers say they’ve successfully connected a monkey’s brain to a computer—marking what they call the world’s first brain-computer interface (BCI) experiment using a nonhuman primate.

This high-tech experiment was led by a team at Xuanwu Hospital in Beijing and is being hailed as a milestone in China’s growing role in the global “tech race,” especially in competition with the United States.

Recycling has always been promoted as a solution to our growing plastic waste problem. But now, a new study has revealed a hidden issue—recycling might actually be releasing huge amounts of microplastics into the environment.

Let’s break down what’s going on.

Rapamycin might just be the most powerful anti-aging drug in existence — and yet, most people have never heard of it. That’s not because it doesn’t work, but because of a string of bad luck and missed opportunities that kept it in the shadows for decades.

Here’s the fascinating story behind the drug that could help us live longer and healthier lives.

A major new study has revealed that autoimmune diseases are far more common than we thought — affecting around 1 in 10 people globally. This discovery is sparking fresh conversations about what causes these diseases and how we can better prevent and treat them.

Researchers looked at health records from over 22 million people in the UK, making it the largest study of its kind to date. They focused on 19 of the most common autoimmune disorders, including type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis.

If you wear soft contact lenses, here’s something you might want to know: a new study suggests that many popular brands in the US may be made mostly of PFAS, also known as “forever chemicals.”

Researchers tested 18 kinds of soft contact lenses from major brands like Acuvue, Alcon, and Coopervision. What they found was surprising—extremely high levels of a chemical marker called organic fluorine, which is a telltale sign of PFAS. In fact, the levels were so high that one researcher, Dr. Scott Belcher, said the lenses could be “almost pure PFAS.”

Westinghouse has just introduced a new kind of nuclear reactor, and it’s small, smart, and could play a big role in our clean energy future. Called the AP300, this compact nuclear reactor is designed to provide 300 megawatts of nearly emissions-free electricity—enough to power hundreds of thousands of homes.

Unlike some of the more experimental reactor designs out there, the AP300 keeps things simple. It’s a smaller version of Westinghouse’s already proven AP1000 reactor, which is currently in use in China and is being brought online in Georgia, USA.

We’re living in a time where artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the way the world works — and fast. From coding to screenwriting, machines are stepping into roles that used to be purely human. But as exciting as AI is, it’s also sparking a huge question: are we training for jobs that won’t even exist in the future?

A fascinating new study out of the University of Saskatchewan has scientists one step closer to understanding how we might slow down the aging process — and the discovery started with tiny worms.

Researchers found two specific genes in a type of worm called C. elegans that seem to play a major role in aging. When these genes were turned off, the worms began to age much faster than usual. What's exciting is that these same two genes also exist in humans.
