No Such Thing as Too Much Exercise, Study Finds
Too much of a good thing can be definitely bad for us. But a new study published Friday in JAMA Network Open suggests that exercise is a clear exception. It found that any level of cardiovascular fitness — including the kind you’d see from elite athletes — is linked to staying alive longer. That exercise is universally great for our health sounds like a no-brainer, sure. But in recent years, there’s actually been evidence that elite athletes and other heavy exercisers might paradoxically...

Elizabeth Olsen: Stark's Age of Ultron Nightmares Didn't Foreshadow Infinity War
Tony Stark's Scarlet Witch-induced vision in Avengers: Age of Ultron wasn't a foreshadowing of the events of Avengers: Infinity War, Elizabeth Olsen said. In the said nightmare, Wanda heightened Stark's fear of seeing his Avengers pals die on his watch after they failed to defeat an unknown threat. The horrifying nightmare was capped off with Captain America telling him that he could've done more - further fueling his motivation to push through with the Ultron Program.

Rise of robots ‘could see workers enjoy four-day weeks’
A four-day working week could become commonplace in Britain as automation and artificial intelligence increase workplace efficiency, a new study has concluded. If the benefits of rolling out such new technologies were passed on to staff, then they would be able to generate their current weekly economic output in just four days. The research, by the cross-party Social Market Foundation (SMF) thinktank, found that even relatively modest gains from using robots and AI had the potential to give Brit...

As is the case with human relationships, flashing a smile is a good place to start. A new paper published in Royal Society Open Science suggests that goats not only recognize happy human facial expressions, they're also drawn to them.

Amazon built an AI tool to hire people but had to shut it down because it was discriminating against women
Amazon worked on building an artificial-intelligence tool to help with hiring, but the plans backfired when the company discovered the system discriminated against women, Reuters reports.

Why you have (probably) already bought your last car
I'm guessing you are scoffing in disbelief at the very suggestion of this article, but bear with me. A growing number of tech analysts are predicting that in less than 20 years we'll all have stopped owning cars, and, what's more, the internal combustion engine will have been consigned to the dustbin of history. Yes, it's a big claim and you are right to be sceptical, but the argument that a unique convergence of new technology is poised to revolutionise personal transportati...

Powerful antibodies suppress HIV for months, could simplify treatment
Anti-HIV drugs have prevented millions of early deaths from AIDS, but infected people must take the pills every day, for life. Now, two studies in small numbers of people show for the first time that infusions of two powerful anti-HIV antibodies can completely suppress the virus for several months. If the results pan out in larger studies, they could simplify treatment for people who have difficulty taking daily medication, reduce the risk of drug resistance emergence, and even help cut HIV tran...
