Why Bats Don’t Get Cancer—and What That Means for Humans

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2026-03-22 15:50:16

When you think of longevity in animals, chances are that the Greenland shark will immediately come up. After all, researchers estimate that the enigmatic animal can live for at least 250 years. It turns out, however, that bats also hold their own when it comes to lifespan, with some species living up to 25 years—equivalent to 180 human years—and they tend to do it cancer-free. Researchers from the University of Rochester (UR) have investigated anti-cancer “superpowers,” as described in a UR sta

While the hardware has long supported it, Pixel users currently need to use an app to adjust the flashlight’s intensity.

Bose’s New Bluetooth Speaker Looks Like a Solid Way to Annoy Everybody at the Beach

How to Avoid Scams and Shoddy Wares on Amazon (2025)

With a few keystrokes you can find almost anything on Amazon ... and buy it with as little as a single click. It’s a wonderbox of capitalism.

Why uranium mining is having a resurgence in the United States

cnbc.com Magdalena Petrova 2026-03-23 00:00:01

From about the 1960s to the mid-1980s, the United States was a leader in uranium mining. But domestic production of the mineral, which is primarily used as fuel for nuclear reactors, has since fallen off a cliff. "A lot of this was because it was a government priority. And we strategically used government funding and subsidies to support it. However, what kind of started happening during the 90s is we saw a de-prioritization away from uranium," said Gracelin Baskaran, director of the Critical M

Jada Jones/ZDNET Editor's note: This article was first published on June 6, 2025, and updated on June 10, 2025, when Sonos announced the Ace's latest software updates. It's been one year since Sonos released its first pair of consumer headphones, and although they made waves when they first dropped, how have they fared after the hype has died down? You can often find the Ace discounted for up to $120 off their original price, and if you're interested in them, that's the best time to buy them.

Last week, the Wall Street Journal published the first of a two-part series that probes the ways in which the Defense Department has been responsible for creating and fostering the UFO mythology in America. The article shows that the government has, at various points over the years, purposefully sown disinformation about UFOs, in an effort to make Americans believe in little green men. Th

Amazon Prime Day is arguably one of the most confusing shopping holidays in existence: It’s not even a “day” anymore, as last year the event spanned 48 hours. It includes some great deals—Amazon promises “millions of deals”—but the displayed discounts are often misleading, and while it’s advertised as a members-only event, some deals are available to people who don’t subscribe to Prime.
