technologyreview.com Jessica Hamzelou 2025-09-05 21:00:00

Some scientists warn that, based on evidence in animals, it could negatively impact wound healing, metabolism and bone density. This week let’s take a closer look at the benefits—and risks—of caloric restriction. Eating less can make animals live longer.

'28 Years Later' Director Danny Boyle Says Shooting on iPhones Let Him Capture 'Startling' Violence

wired.com Jake Kleinman 2025-09-05 23:00:00

In 2001, Danny Boyle had a problem. To make his new postapocalyptic horror movie, 28 Days Later, he had to capture footage of a then-unknown Cillian Murphy wandering the abandoned streets of London. Shutting down the city wasn’t an option for the low-budget production, however, and neither was re-creating it on a studio set. Instead, the 68-year-old director made a surprising choice: He filmed with lightweight, low-resolution Canon digital cameras. The technology, which was cutting-edge at the t
