Scientists discovered that a protein marker used in human dementia research can track aging and predict life expectancy across dozens of animal species. The breakthrough could help veterinarians assess the biological age and health of beloved pets.
As one in three Australian homes now powers up with rooftop solar, new research reveals simple maintenance tricks that can double panel lifespan and maximize clean energy savings. Experts share how to keep your renewable investment shining bright for decades.
A biotech company called Loyal just secured over $250 million to develop the world's first FDA-approved drug that could extend dogs' healthy lifespans. The breakthrough could eventually lead to similar treatments for humans.
Scientists discovered genetics play a far bigger role in how long we live than anyone thought. The finding could unlock new ways to help everyone live healthier, longer lives.
Solar panels installed in the 1980s are still producing over 80% of their power three decades later, shattering expectations about how long renewable energy technology can last. This discovery could revolutionize how we think about the true value and lifespan of solar investments.
Scientists just cracked the code on predicting battery lifespan in days instead of years, saving time and energy while speeding up clean energy innovation. This breakthrough could fast-track electric vehicles and renewable energy storage.
Scientists discovered your genes influence how long you'll live much more than we thought. The finding could unlock new ways to help everyone age more healthily.
Scientists discovered how to turn gut bacteria into tiny factories that produce compounds linked to longer life, using a safe low-dose antibiotic. The breakthrough improved lifespan in worms and metabolism in mice without harmful side effects.
Scientists at the University of Maryland just solved a decades-old battery problem using chemistry already available in factories today. Your future phone, laptop, and electric car could last years longer without a single design change.
Solar panels installed in Switzerland during the late 1980s are degrading five times slower than expected, proving clean energy tech can last for decades. The discovery could reshape how we think about solar panel lifespans and sustainability.
Scientists discovered our genes influence how long we live far more than previously thought. New research shows genetics account for over half of lifespan, opening doors to breakthrough longevity treatments.
Scientists discovered that genetics account for about 50% of how long you'll live—far more than previously thought. The breakthrough could lead to therapies that slow aging and prevent age-related diseases all at once.
Scientists in Sweden and Finland have cracked the code for safely reusing old concrete in new buildings, potentially adding up to 100 years of life to salvaged materials. The breakthrough framework could dramatically slash construction waste and carbon emissions while keeping valuable building materials in circulation.
Australian researchers discovered that silicon solar cells naturally repair themselves after UV damage when exposed to regular sunlight. The breakthrough could help manufacturers build longer-lasting solar panels and predict their true lifespan.
Those chubby groundhogs doing weather predictions? They're actually teaching scientists how to treat human diseases and rebuilding habitats for dozens of species. New research reveals these master hibernators hold secrets to fighting obesity, liver cancer, and even extending human lifespans.
New research reveals how a lifetime of stress contributes to shorter lifespans in Black communities. The findings point to biological changes that offer clues for preventing early deaths.
Northwestern Medicine researchers discovered how to help mice with ALS live longer and stay stronger by targeting a protein that was accidentally protecting toxic buildup in their cells. The breakthrough opens a new path for treating multiple brain diseases.
A UK study of 60,000 people found that tiny daily improvements in sleep, exercise, and diet could extend lifespan by a full year. The best part? The changes are so small, anyone can start today.
Sleeping just five more minutes, exercising two extra minutes, and eating one more veggie serving daily could extend your lifespan by a full year, a new UK study reveals. The research shows tiny changes work better together than big resolutions that often fail.
A 13-year-old pet cow in Austria has become the first of her species recorded using tools on herself, choosing different ends of a brush for different body parts. Scientists say we've been underestimating cows because most don't get the freedom or lifespan to show us what they can do.
