Scientists uncover a metabolic vulnerability in aging cells that could be key to restoring resilience and combating age-related diseases.
A new quantum gravity theory suggests the Big Bang may have unfolded naturally—and could soon be testable.
Scientists at the University of Waterloo have introduced a new approach to understanding how the universe began, one that could reshape current ideas about the Big Bang and the earliest stages of cosmic history. Their research indicates that the universe’s rapid initial expansion may have developed naturally from a deeper and more complete theory known as quantum gravity.
Combining Gravity With Quantum Physics
Apple on Wednesday expanded the availability of iOS 18.7.7 and iPadOS 18.7.7 to a broader range of devices to protect users from the risk posed by a recently disclosed exploit kit known as DarkSword.
“We enabled the availability of iOS 18.7.7 for more devices on April 1, 2026, so users with Automatic Updates turned on can automatically receive important security protections from web attacks called DarkSword,” the company said. “The fixes associated with the DarkSword exploit first shipped in 2025.”
