In a recent case report, doctors detail how the feline likely spread a seldom-seen bacterial infection that landed its owner in the hospital. Doctors in Slovenia wrote the report, published in the June issue of Emerging Infectious Diseases. The 56-year-old woman, a kidney transplant recipient, developed a severe, rare bout of Mycoplasma arginini infection that was eventually traced back to her cat. Thankfully

Robotic sucker can adapt to surroundings like an actual octopus

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-02-21 03:00:02

Some of the most ingenious tech has been inspired by nature. From color-changing materials that function like cephalopod skin to a tiny biomimetic robot that looks and moves like an actual cockroach, the extraordinary adaptations of some organisms have upgraded our technological capabilities. Now the octopus is lending an arm—or a sucker. Octopus tentacles have remarkably strong suckers with an adhesion power that could be an asset to soft robots that need to pick things up and hold onto them.

The BBC’s apology for posting about that shocking Doctor Who finale reveal before the whole world got a chance to watch comes a little too late.

Troubling Case Links Vaping to Aggressive Lung Cancer

Vaping might be safer than cigarette smoking, but they carry their own health risks. A New Jersey man’s electronic cigarette habit likely contributed to his fast-spreading, fatal lung cancer, his doctors say. Doctors at the AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center in Atlantic City detailed the tragic death this month in the American Journal of Case Reports. The 51-year-old former smoker and longtime vaper developed an aggressive lung cancer that killed him just months after diagnosis. Though a causa

Octobass

Composers and orchestras like to use their lowest instruments sparingly, for maximum impact. Few instruments go lower and are used more sparingly than the huge and strange octobass, one of the rarest classic instruments in existence. Invented in 1850 by Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume, the octobass was intended to bring an extremely deep rumble to the orchestra sound. The three-stringed instrument stands between 11 and 12 feet tall, about twice the height of a double bass. This giant bass produces soun

Twenty years ago this week, the first season of the revived era of Doctor Who came to an end with “The Parting of the Ways,” as did the tenure of Christopher Eccleston’s Ninth Doctor. Ready to sacrifice it all to stop the Daleks, the Ninth Doctor’s final moments remain a vital moment in Doctor Who history. It was the first time in decades since Doctor Who had asked its audience to trust in the magic of the series’ defining trick to survival and re-invention: the magic of regeneration itself. Ec

Putting aside their exorbitant cost, the trouble with prescription hearing aids is the prescription. Find a doctor. Get an appointment. Sit in a waiting room.

There's nothing worse than having to get up and leave your warm, cozy bed when the feeling of having to pee disrupts your sleep.

When Doctor Who came to the controversial climax of its latest season recently, it did so with an uncertainty the series hasn’t faced for 20 years: there was then, and still is, no official news if the series will return. But while that’s still case, the BBC has announced news that should give some reassurance that Doctor Who will have some form of future on TV. It’s just perhaps not the way most fans would’ve hoped for. This morning the corporation confirmed that a new Doctor Who series was in
