Heart attacks may be triggered by bacteria

According to the recently published research, an infection may trigger myocardial infarction. Using a range of advanced methodologies, the research found that, in coronary artery disease, atherosclerotic plaques containing cholesterol may harbour a gelatinous, asymptomatic biofilm formed by bacteria over years or even decades. Dormant bacteria within the biofilm remain shielded from both the patient’s immune system and antibiotics because they cannot penetrate the biofilm matrix. A viral infect

‘The Strangers: Chapter 2’ Opening Is a Game of Hide and Seek

You may not know it, but we’re a few weeks out from The Strangers: Chapter 2. To help drum up interest for the film, Lionsgate’s put out a clip from the first few minutes of the film, which picks up where 2024’s Chapter 1 concluded. Last we left off, Maya (Madelaine Petsch) survived the attack from the titular Strangers that left her boyfriend Ryan dead, and she ended the film recuperating in the hospital. But before she can worry about her health bill, she realizes that she’s not as free of th

Premier League Soccer: Livestream Brentford vs. Chelsea From Anywhere

Below, we'll outline the best live TV streaming services for watching English Premier League games as they happen, wherever you are in the world, and how to use a VPN if it's not available where you are.

Hike, once a unicorn, shuts down as India cracks down on real-money gaming

Hike, once one of India’s most valuable startups with unicorn status, has become the latest casualty of New Delhi’s recent real-money gaming ban, with the company — led by Kavin Bharti Mittal, son of Airtel founder Sunil Bharti Mittal — now shutting down. On Saturday, Hike founder Mittal (pictured above) said that the startup’s U.S. business, which launched nine months ago, was “off to a strong start.” But he said scaling it globally would require “a full recap, a reset that is not the best use

ChatGPT Goes Completely Haywire If You Ask It to Show You a Seahorse Emoji

There is no seahorse emoji. The Unicode Consortium, which oversees the standardized pictograms that can be transmitted as part of text communications, has yet to add the adorable sea critter to its official emoji dictionary. Frail human minds have sometimes been surprised to learn that fact, in a perfect example of the Mandela Effect, in which people become convinced that they remember something that isn't actually real — like that South African anti-apartheid leader Nelson Mandela died in pris

Doctors Modify Hot Glue Gun to Stick Broken Bones Back Together

Image by Getty / Futurism Devices Scientists in South Korea have modified a glue gun — the kind you'd use for an arts and crafts DIY project at home — to generate bone grafts and print them directly onto fractures in animals, to aid in the healing process. As detailed in a new paper published in the journal Device, the team came up with the unusual device to skip the need for prefabricating complex bone implants. In experiments involving rabbits, the researchers created 3D-printed grafts on th

This real-life Google hack on my Pixel is why I could never switch to an iPhone

Paul Jones / Android Authority With the iPhone 17 finally getting some long overdue upgrades like a larger and high-refresh rate display, I’ve found myself toying with the idea of switching ecosystems over the past couple of days. It also doesn’t help that Google stumbled out of the gate with the recent Pixel 10 launch. Thanks to the latter’s unexpectedly small performance and battery life gains, I see no compelling reason to upgrade from my Pixel 8. But after mulling the decision over, I came

Here are three reasons you shouldn’t quite consider Apple Watch Series 11

Apple’s latest generation Apple Watch model, the Series 11, was just unveiled on Tuesday. While at first glance, it seemed like a relatively decent upgrade – it turns out that there’s some details that makes it less appealing than it might’ve initially seemed. Battery life isn’t as good as you may think As discovered by users who were peeping into the fine print, Apple’s latest battery estimates for Apple Watch Series 11 and Ultra 3 tack on an additional 6 hours of sleep tracking for Apple’s i

Snapchat rolls out Group Streaks and 'Infinite Retention' for chats

The first is "Infinite Retention," which as its name implies will allow you to keep a chat history like you could on a messaging app and prevent your messages from disappearing. "We’ve often heard from our community that Snapchatters want to save their chats forever and wish they could build streaks with their favorite groups," its announcement reads. The app has been testing the feature since 2024, an

How a 2020 Rolex Collection Changed the Face of Watch Design

As the company that either invented or popularized the dive watch, the GMT watch, the first water-resistant watch, the first automatic watches, and much more besides, you could hardly downplay Rolex’s influence on watchmaking history. But while its iconic sports watches, like the Submariner, Daytona and GMT-Master are endlessly imitated, Rolex is not seen as a trendsetter, preferring to ignore passing horological fashions. It does its own thing, iterating carefully and minimally on its age-old t

Chatbox app is back on the US app store

Hello everyone, I have great news to share: After three months of fighting, our Chatbox app is finally back on the U.S. App Store! 🎉 What happened? In April 2025, another company with an app of the same name filed a dispute with Apple, claiming they held a trademark for the word “Chatbox.” I believe this claim was baseless, because: "Chatbox" is a widely used, generic word across the internet, and their trademark application had already been initially rejected by the USPTO. We were the fir

Department of Energy gets rid of climate skeptics group to dodge lawsuit

While the Trump administration has continued to refer to efforts to avoid the worst impacts of climate change as a scam, it has done almost nothing to counter the copious scientific evidence that demonstrates that climate change is real and doing real damage to the citizens of the US. The lone exception has been a draft Department of Energy report prepared by a handful of carefully chosen fringe figures that questioned the mainstream understanding of climate change. The shoddy work and questiona
