Our kitchens have become hotbeds of innovation, packed with high-powered air fryers, countertop smokers and other impressive tools designed to make cooking easier. But not every gadget deserves a spot on your counter -- some are better off in the trash with the food scraps. Rather than falling for every shiny new trend, it's wiser to invest in reliable, versatile gear that can actually make life easier.

Three things veteran planetary health investors look for in a startup

Oz Perkins’ Newest Movie, ‘Keeper,’ Looks Like More Delicious Nightmare Fodder

Oz Perkins has another movie coming out already? He must not sleep much—payback for all the frights he’s implanted into the brains of people who’ve watched his films, including The Monkey and Longlegs. His latest, Keeper, hits theaters this fall and looks to continue the trend, if this first teaser is anything to go by. Very simple yet very eerie (and a bit easier to follow than the deliberately obscure Longlegs marketing was), Keeper shows us a succession of women. They’re smiling at the camer

Cancer DNA is detectable in blood years before diagnosis

Cancer’s genetic fingerprints may lurk in people’s blood long before they find out about the disease. It’s possible to spot tumor DNA more than three years before a person is diagnosed with cancer, researchers report May 22 in Cancer Discovery. “We were shocked that we could find DNA,” says Yuxuan Wang, an oncologist and cancer researcher at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

How it works: Currently, companies tend to deal with this issue by checking whether the prompts or the AI’s responses contain disallowed material.
