Exhausted elastin As such, the correct next step for addressing her floppy eyelids wasn’t eye surgery or medication—it was a referral for a sleep test. The patient did the test, which found that while she was sleeping, she stopped breathing 27 times per hour. On the apnea–hypopnea index, that yields a diagnosis of moderate-level OSA. With this finding, the woman started using a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine, which delivers continuous air into the airway during sleep, preventing it from closing up. Along with some eye lubricants, nighttime eye patches, and a weight-loss plan, the woman’s condition rapidly improved.…

After celebrating its fifth anniversary earlier this month, the tough-as-nails survival Viking game Valheim is coming to Switch 2 this year.

The ultimate aim of the game is to kill various gods dotted around the game’s different biomes to be deemed worthy of entering…

Astonishingly, we are already eight months into the life of Nintendo’s Switch 2 console. And three-quarters of a year in, it’s perhaps fair to say there’s not exactly been a rollercoaster of must-have games released. Given the disappointment of Metroid Prime 4, and the sheer paucity of other first-part originals, it’s becoming tricky not to think of it as a $400 Donkey Kong Bananza machine that has a side-hustle in ports. With a desperate need for the console to be given any sense of vitality in 2026, today’s Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase not only did very little to take away from…

Get the Popular Science daily newsletter💡 Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Humanity’s relationship with fire is unique across all of evolutionary history. Learning to harness the power of flame is arguably our most monumental technological breakthrough as a species—one that allowed Homo sapiens to flourish across the planet. But fire is not without its inherent dangers. A team of evolutionary biologists and medical experts now suggests its most painful consequences are so powerful that they actually reshaped our genetic makeup. In a study recently published in the journal BioEssays, researchers at Imperial College London argue…

Such studies have nonetheless been met with skepticism when it comes to interpreting the behavior as evidence of animals’ ability to engage in make-believe. For instance, it’s possible the animals are responding to behavioral cues, like the direction of a gaze, to solve such tasks. “Kanzi, let’s play a game!” Enter Kanzi, a 43-year-old bonobo who lives at the Ape Initiative and is capable of responding to verbal prompts, either by pointing or using a lexigram of more than 300 symbols. There had also been anecdotal observations of Kanzi engaging in pretense. Krupenye et al. conducted three distinct experiments with…

Before you say it (and flood the comments section with it), let me highlight that I know exactly what you’re thinking after seeing the headline of my little editorial today. Why are we talking (so much already) about the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Flip 8 before the Galaxy S26 family is even formally unveiled?Well, I obviously can’t speak for the insiders and tipsters that have offered us plenty of (alleged) information on the specs, capabilities, upgrades, and production targets of Samsung’s next foldable devices over the last few months, but as far as I’m concerned, boredom is playing…

Our review of the new AirTag went up yesterday, and that involved testing the new Precision Finding feature on Apple Watches. In the process, I found the setup to be confusing and counterintuitive, and was relieved to discover it wasn’t just me. If, like me, you’ve been trying to set up Precision Finding on your Apple Watch for the AirTag you’ve just unboxed and attached to a precious belonging, here are the exact steps to take.First, make sure your Apple Watch is compatible with the feature. That means verifying you’re using the Series 9 or later (you would have bought…

As AI continues to encroach on game development, the worry that the studios that make your favorite games are dabbling in the tech, especially for art assets and written dialogue, grows ever greater. Sometimes this concern and the scrutiny that comes with it are well-founded, but other times it leads to witch hunts with fans seeing AI-generated art where it actually doesn’t exist. Blizzard’s Overwatch team has been the subject of these moments of mass hysteria. So what exactly is Blizzard’s stance on genAI? Well, it sounds like the company itself is of one mind, while the Overwatch team itself…

A potent winter storm in late January 2026 left much of North Carolina dealing with significant snow accumulations. Though the state is no stranger to snow, such widespread coverage is unusual. This image, acquired on February 2 with the MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) on NASA’s Terra satellite, reveals a nearly continuous blanket of white stretching from mountain cities in the west to beachfront towns in the east. According to the North Carolina State Climate Office, measurable snow fell in all 100 counties for the first time in more than a decade. Snowfall in North Carolina typically requires cold air funneled in from the north…

As Neocities grew, Drake told Ars that much of his focus has been on improving content moderation. He works closely with a full-time dedicated content moderation staffer to quickly take down any problematic sites within 24 hours, he said. That effort includes reviewing reports and proactively screening new sites, with Drake noting that “our name domain provider requires us to take them down within 48 hours.” Microsoft prohibits things like scraping content that could be considered copyright infringement or automatically generating content using “garbage text” to game the rankings. It also monitors for malicious behavior like phishing, as well as…
