futurism.com Unknown 2026-01-03 09:08:43

Image by Getty / Futurism As most of us in the United States are well aware, the US healthcare system is a nightmarish labyrinth of profit-seeking middlemen, kafkaesque corporate bureaucracy, and insurance-inflated costs. Adding to the noxious mix is the lucrative field of private equity — a financial industry that earns its dough by buying private companies and selling their assets piecemeal, kind of like a junk dealer.

Although wireless charging typically isn’t the most exciting thing to talk about with a new Android phone, that’s due to change very soon.

Technological advancements have brought us many things. For paleontologists, it’s introduced the ability to probe softer material—skin, feathers, scales, and hair—found on fossilized creatures. And that’s resulting in some strange new findings about long-extinct animals, showing us that they’re even weirder than we imagined.
