Hong Kong overtook Japan around 2013 to record the world’s highest life expectancy, with women now averaging 88.7 years and men 83.3. Researchers found no single longevity secret, but unusually low smoking-related mortality explains much of its advantage, while dense neighbourhoods, accessible services and heavily subsidised public transport may help older residents remain active.
20+ hour, 33+ min ago (1169+ words) Hong Kong's provisional 2025 life expectancy is 88.7 years for women and 83.3 for men.

In a 2013 experiment, 20 of 24 radiologists missed a gorilla deliberately inserted into a chest CT scan while searching for nodules — eye tracking showed that 12 of those who missed it had looked straight at the animal hiding inside the image.
5+ day, 4+ hour ago (943+ words) A 2013 CT experiment showed that expert readers could look directly at an unexpected gorilla without reporting it. The finding concerns attention, not a clinical cancer-miss rate. By Mind & Matter · Edited by Lachlan Brown Published September 9, 2026 · How we edit Twenty of…...
In 2022, a 17-year-old built a $300 thought-controlled prosthetic arm; unlike very expensive and invasive brain-controlled systems, his version reads brainwaves through non-invasive electrodes
1+ week, 3+ day ago (329+ words) One arm is a research-lab masterwork that reads a wearer's intent and, in some setups, lets them feel through it. Published September 4, 2026 · How we edit We are not clinicians, prosthetists, or biomedical engineers, and nothing here is medical guidance. This…...
A 12-year-old in California built a working printer for blind readers out of a Lego robot kit for his school science fair, after finding that the machines sold for the job cost about $2,000; the parts in his version came to roughly $350 in shops
1+ week, 5+ day ago (627+ words) A twelve-year-old just proved that assistive technology doesn't need to cost thousands when ingenuity and a Lego kit can do the job for under four hundred dollars. Published September 1, 2026 · How we edit A machine that stamps raised dots onto paper…...
A Mayo Clinic AI re-analysed CT scans that had originally been read as normal — and detected the signature of pancreatic cancer in 73% of patients who later developed it, a median of 16 months before their diagnosis.
3+ week, 6+ day ago (845+ words) Mayo Clinic's REDMOD model found subtle CT signatures of later pancreatic cancer in a retrospective validation study, but the tool still needs prospective testing before clinical use.
