gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2026-03-23 11:50:16

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

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2026-03-23 13:00:48

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

Wikipedia Tries to Calm Fury Over New AI-Generated Summaries Proposal

The denizens of the open web don't want anything to do with AI. The Wikimedia Foundation, the organization behind Wikipedia, made the unfortunate decision to announce the trial of a new AI-fueled article generator this week. The backlash from the site’s editors was so swift and so vengeful that the organization quickly walked back its idea, announcing a temporary “pause” of the new feature.
