Don’t Let Loneliness Harm Your Health

Loneliness: It’s not about simply being alone. It’s when you feel unable to connect in a meaningful way with people in your life. Find out from this WebMD slideshow how it can affect your health and what you can do to stop it.

While most of us can expect to live to around 80, some people defy expectations and live to be over 100. In places such as Okinawa, Japan and Sardinia, Italy, there are many centenarians.
The oldest person in history – a French woman named Jeanne Calment – lived to 122. When she was born in 1,875, the average life expectancy was roughly 43.
But just how long could a human actually live? It’s a question people have been asking for centuries. While average life expectancy (the number of years a person can expect to live) is relatively easy to calculate, maximum lifespan estimates (the greatest age a human could possibly reach) are much harder to make. Previous studies have placed this limit close to 140 years of age. But a more recent study proposes that the limit to human lifespan is closer to 150.
Mental health chatbots can help treat symptoms of depression, according to findings from an NTU research team. These apps can interact with people to show empathy and encouragement, to improve moods. CNA spoke to Dr Laura Martinengo, Research Fellow at Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine at NTU.

Physicists in the MIT-Harvard Center for Ultracold Atoms (CUA) have developed a new approach to control the outcome of chemical reactions. This is traditionally done using temperature and chemical catalysts, or more recently with external fields (electric or magnetic fields, or laser beams).
MIT CUA physicists have now added a new twist to this: They have used minute changes in a magnetic field to make subtle changes to the quantum mechanical wavefunction of the colliding particles during the chemical reaction. They show how this technique can steer reactions to a different outcome: enhancing or suppressing reactions.
This was only possible by working at ultralow temperatures at a millionth of a degree above absolute zero, where collisions and chemical reactions occur in single quantum states. Their research was published in Science on March 4.
The company is pouring billions into R&D with plans to disrupt the AI market in the near future.
