A new study has found compelling evidence that a common chemical called trichloroethylene (TCE)—used in industries and found in the environment—may significantly increase the risk of developing Parkinson’s disease, a progressive brain disorder that affects movement, balance, and speech.

Imagine using your phone one day to help your body heal itself. It might sound like something from a sci-fi movie, but researchers in the growing field of quantum biology are exploring how that could actually be possible.

While we’ve come a long way in understanding how cells and genes work, scientists are now asking: What if quantum mechanics—the strange science of atoms and particles—plays a bigger role in biology than we ever realized?

The world of longevity biotech is growing fast—but understanding it all can be overwhelming. While websites like Longevity List and AgingBiotech.info do a great job tracking companies, it’s still tough to see the full picture or figure out what’s missing.

A leading UK charity is raising the alarm over a quiet but deadly issue: more people are dying from blood clots, and experts say the NHS needs to act fast by bringing back data tracking that stopped during the pandemic.

Why This Matters

A new report has revealed a staggering truth: the global use of toxic PFAS chemicals costs society about $17.5 trillion each year—while the companies making them earn only around $4 billion in profits.

PFAS, short for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are often called "forever chemicals" because they don’t break down naturally. They’re used in thousands of everyday items like non-stick cookware, waterproof clothing, and food packaging. They help resist heat, stains, and water—but at a massive cost to our health and the environment.

A California-based company called Captura is turning heads with a new technology that could help fight climate change by pulling carbon dioxide (CO₂) straight out of the ocean. That’s right—not the air, but the ocean.

Captura is a spinoff from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), and they’ve come up with a smart, energy-efficient way to clean our oceans and help reduce the planet’s carbon overload at the same time.

How It Works
The process, called Direct Ocean Capture (DOC), works like this:

A new study has raised eyebrows in the scientific world by suggesting that a surprising number of research papers—especially in neuroscience and medicine—could be fake or plagiarized.

The study looked at 5,000 published research papers and found that about a third of neuroscience papers and nearly a quarter of medical papers may not be legitimate. That’s a lot of potentially bogus science making its way into serious journals.

You may have heard the word “greedflation” popping up lately. It’s a mashup of “greed” and “inflation” and it points the finger at businesses, accusing them of pushing prices up to boost profits — especially during times when people are already struggling with the cost of living.

But is that really what’s going on? Are companies in the UK cashing in on inflation, or is the story more complex?

Let’s break it down.

A team of scientists from UNSW Sydney and Boston University may have found a way to spot Parkinson’s disease long before the typical symptoms show up—and it’s all thanks to artificial intelligence.

They’ve developed a powerful AI tool called CRANK-MS that can analyze blood samples and predict the likelihood of developing Parkinson’s with up to 96% accuracy. That’s a big deal because currently, there are no blood tests available to diagnose Parkinson’s, especially the non-genetic kind.

It’s been more than four years since COVID-19 first swept across the globe—and for many people, it never truly left. Millions are now living with long COVID, a condition that causes lingering symptoms like fatigue, dizziness, brain fog, heart palpitations, and breathing issues long after the initial infection. Yet, despite the growing number of people affected, there are still no proven treatments—and patients are running out of patience.
