Earth’s rotation is randomly speeding up, and nobody is quite sure why. These speedups, which have occurred several times over the last few years, haven’t had any effect on daily life, but they also haven’t gone unnoticed by science. Tuesday, Aug. 5 is the next date when Earth’s rotation is expected to speed up, shortening the day by between 1.25 …

Struggling to fall asleep even after upgrading your mattress, trying sleep aids, or turning on your favorite white noise? You’re far from alone.

Belly fat always seems to creep up when you least expect it to. As you age, experiencing a redistribution in body fat is quite common. Where does it tend to gravitate? The abdomen. Hormonal shifts and the natural loss of lean muscle are partly to blame. But there are several things you can do to take charge of your health …

With the unveiling of the iPhone 17 series roughly five weeks away, leakster (to coin a term) Majin Bu says that one of his sources has sent him photographs of the iPhone 17 Pro battery inside a stainless steel case. Two different versions of the battery case were revealed. One is for the U.S. market and the other for the …

Most U.S. adults have a “heart age” older than their chronological age because of factors like lifestyle and heart disease. Northwestern University’s online tool calculates heart age using health data such as cholesterol levels and blood pressure. Observational data showed gaps in heart and chronological ages based on education and race. You know how many birthdays you’ve had. But how …

By almost any measure, living through a once-in-a-century pandemic emergency that killed 7 million people — including 1.1 million in the U.S. alone — was a harrowing experience. Now, there’s new evidence suggesting our brains bear the scars of that ordeal. Living through the pandemic aged our brains faster — even among people who never became sick with COVID-19, according …

But a massive new study suggests that aging isn’t actually linear. It accelerates dramatically around age 50, with the body’s organs veering into decline at sharply different speeds. The …

Scientists have achieved the lowest quantum computing error rate ever recorded — an important step in solving the fundamental challenges on the way to practical, utility-scale quantum computers. In research published June 12 in the journal APS Physical Review Letters, the scientists demonstrated a quantum error rate of 0.000015%, which equates to one error per 6.7 million operations. This achievement …
