People born more recently are less likely to have dementia at any given age than earlier generations, research suggests, with the trend more pronounced in women. According to the World Health Organization, in 2021 there were 57 million people worldwide living with dementia, with women disproportionately affected. However, while the risk of dementia increases with age, experts have long stressed it is not not an inevitability of getting older. “Younger generations are less likely to develop dem

Apple launched C1, its first in-house 5G modem, earlier this year with the iPhone 16e and early findings suggested it performed well against Qualcomm’s own modems. Now a new study says otherwise—but with the huge asterisk that it was paid for by Qualcomm. New study shows C1 getting handily beat, but the details deserve more attention Cellular Insights was commissioned by Qualcomm to perform a study of the iPhone 16e’s C1 modem against two Android smartphones with Qualcomm modems.

A hot potato: Google has reignited debate over the future of digital security, revealing that the hardware needed to break widely used encryption could be closer than previously thought. The research, led by Craig Gidney and posted to the preprint server arXiv, shows that a 2,048-bit RSA encryption key – a standard for online security – could be cracked in less than a week by a quantum computer with fewer than one million noisy qubits. The finding is a dramatic reduction from earlier estimates

In 1976, NASA’s Viking mission successfully landed the first spacecraft on Mars. When the mission began sending images from Mars’ surface back to Earth, scientists noted long, dark streaks on crater walls and cliff sides.

Microplastics have just been found to be in our chewing gum. Researchers at UCLA discovered that microplastics are released directly into our mouths every time we chew gum. In a new study published in Chemistry for Life, scientists tested 10 different chewing gum brands and found microplastics in each one. Both natural and synthetic varieties were shown to shed microscopic plastic particles during chewing. On average, each gram of gum releases around 100 microplastics, with some pieces spiking a

A common energy drink ingredient could be leading blood cancer cells to grow and multiply, according to a new study by researchers in New York. The study, published in the journal Nature, found that taurine, a naturally occurring amino acid found in drinks like Red Bull and Celsius, may act as a fuel source for leukaemia cells, making the disease more aggressive. Researchers from the University of Rochester warned consumers to be cautious, especially as taurine is commonly used in energy drink
