"Medicine stands at the precipice of an exciting new era. We're closer than ever to achieving functional cures for once-incurable diseases, including HIV. Stem-cell treatments are repairing blinding eye damage and stabilizing failing hearts. Emerging cancer treatments promise to extend patients' lives and decrease the likelihood that their disease will return. And cutting-edge treatments are sparing children from devastating genetic diseases. But even as the promise of decades of medical research is being realized, the foundations of the field are coming under attack. Can these emerging treatments really save us from harm when long-standing tenets of public health and medical research are being eroded before our eyes?"

Some people start the new year with vision boards. Others prefer something a little more hands-on. If you're in the latter group, consider this your pleasure-packed resolution. We-Vibe's sale is still going strong, with deals on toys that turn self-care into an Olympic sport. From the suction-powered Melt to the ultra-intense Tango bullet, it's everything you need to make 2026 your most satisfying year yet. [Ad]

"Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier, aptly nicknamed the Doomsday Glacier, is a ticking time bomb. The rapidly melting body of ice could cause up to 10 feet of global sea-level rise if it were to collapse completely. New evidence suggests the glacier is even less stable than previously believed, with hundreds of iceberg earthquakes shaking up the massive structure for more than a decade."

"Space debris is a growing problem, and not just in Earth orbit. Once a week, on average, a spacecraft (or part of one) falls back into Earth's atmosphere; most of these objects are empty rocket stages, but some are dead satellites whose low orbits finally decayed enough for them to slip into the atmosphere. They're basically like human-made meteors, but most of them don't survive long. This is because of the heat and shredding force that come with high-speed collisions with the air. However, some bits of debris from the objects can exist long enough to plummet through the sky, ranging from dust-mote-sized particles to whole propellant tanks. And this can be a big problem."

The internet used to be chill. Now it's 90% pop-ups, trackers, and weird autoplay videos. AdGuard reverses the timeline — removing all the junk so you can finally browse in peace. For a one-time $16 with code FAMPLAN, this family plan blocks ads on up to 9 devices forever. That's lifetime protection from malware, ads, and digital chaos. Your future self (and your parents, your kids, and your cat) will thank you. [Ad]

"Coffee, probably the world's favorite perker-upper and pooper-shaker, can have surprising benefits to those with severe mental illnesses, a new study has found. So long as you don't overdo it, it seems the beverage can slow down the telomere shortening that diseases like bipolar disorder and schizophrenia can cause, taking roughly half a decade off your biological age."
