“A complete lifestyle approach is required to get strong and stay strong,” says Beth Frates, MD, an associate professor at Harvard Medical School in Boston and a lifestyle medicine expert. Eat more. Undereating speeds up muscle loss. “As people get older, they often experience a decrease in appetite,” says Joy. “As a result, they aren’t…
Deveillance also claims the Spectre can find nearby microphones by detecting radio frequencies (RF), but critics say finding a microphone via RF emissions is not effective unless the sensor is immediately beside it. “If you could detect and recognize components via RF the way Spectre claims to, it would literally be transformative to technology,” Jordan…
The NHTSA recall announcement also identifies a second issue: If another passenger were to put their hand into the recline mechanism while the seat is rear-facing, and the seat shifts into a different recline position, it could result in their hand or fingers being pinched. At this time, no injuries related to either issue have…

Alex, a lawyer in the Department of Justice’s Voting Section, had survived Donald Trump’s first term, and thought he could make it through the second. Within hours of the president’s inauguration, he knew he had misjudged the situation….
Taking a vacation outside the U.S.? You may need a vaccine or two beforehand. What to do? Plan ahead. Schaffner recommends getting any key vaccines at least a month before travel, says Schaffner. This gives you time to build up immunity. Get up to date on regular vaccines. This is important for those such as…
The team members went through a process of incrementally determining what elements and molecules the bacterial strain could grow on. They already knew it could use oxygen, so they tested other combinations in the lab. When oxygen was absent, RSW1 could process hydrogen gas and elemental sulfur—chemicals it would find spewing from a volcanic vent—and…
I first encountered the ideas of ultralight backpacking in 1994, in an article in now-defunct (and much-missed) Backpacker magazine. It was titled “Less is More,” by Mark Jenkins. (I still have a PDF copy I scanned years ago.) Jenkins wrote about a long trip across Europe and Africa. By the end, he and his traveling…
On a blustery March day, the artist Jim Sanborn received visitors at his studio on an isolated island in the Chesapeake Bay. The visitors sat him down in front of a laptop, and he typed in a secret message. They compressed the message using a unique hash function, sent that to the cloud, and wiped…

When a new batch of refrigerators comes into our labs, we start by setting the ambient temperature in our climate-controlled chambers to 70° F to simulate conditions in a typical home kitchen. Then we determine which thermostat setting on each refrigerator will get the internal temperature in the center of the unit to between 36°…
