Why do your joints hurt when it's cold? And what you can do to ease the aches. Winter can amplify aches and pains through pressure shifts, reduced movement, and muscle tightening. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Each winter, over a million "snowbirds" descend on places like Florida and Arizona to avoid the season's freezing temperatures and instead, ride it out in warmth.

The American Revolution created a lasting democracy while the French Revolution became blood-soaked tyranny. But today's armchair revolutionaries echo similar calls.

Anthropic's launch of AI legal tool hits shares in European data services firms Tue 3 Feb 2026 08.38 ESTLast modified on Tue 3 Feb 2026 08.54 EST European publishing and legal software companies have suffered sharp declines in their share prices after the US artificial intelligence firm Anthropic announced a tool aimed at companies' in-house lawyers. The UK publishing group Pearson's shares fell by 4%, while the information and analytics firm Relx plunged nearly 11% on the London stock exchange, and the Dutch software company Wolters Kluwer dropped almost 9% in Amsterdam. Stocks in the London Stock Exchange Group and the credit reporting company Experian fell by more than 7%, amid fears over AI's impact on data companies. Anthropic, the company behind the popular chatbot Claude, said its tool could automate legal work such as contract reviewing, non-disclosure agreement triage, compliance workflows, legal briefings and templated responses.

French police have raided the Paris offices of X and summoned its owner, Elon Musk, to appear at a hearing, amid an ongoing investigation into the social media giant, the prosecution has said. The search on Tuesday related to an investigation launched in January last year into allegations of biased algorithms and fraudulent data extraction by the platform, the Paris Prosecutor's Office said in a post on X. These included possessing and spreading pornographic images of minors, defamation of personal image related to the creation of sexually explicit "deepfakes", Holocaust denial, and manipulation of an automated data processing system. Prosecutors have also filed requests for "voluntary interviews" of Musk - the billionaire CEO of X's parent company xAI, as well as SpaceX and Tesla - and the platform's former CEO, Linda Yaccarino, on April 20. Other staff at X - known as Twitter before Musk's 2022 purchase of the platform - have been summoned to appear the same week as witnesses, the office said.

In a pine forest on Michigan's Upper Peninsula, the only active nickel mine in the US is nearing the end of its life. At a time when carmakers want the metal for electric-vehicle batteries, nickel concentration at Eagle Mine is falling and could soon drop too low to warrant digging. Demand for nickel, copper, and rare earth elements is rapidly increasing amid the explosive growth of metal-intensive data centers, electric cars, and renewable energy projects. But producing these metals is becoming harder and more expensive because miners have already exploited the best resources. Here's how biotechnology could help . What we've been getting wrong about AI's truth crisis What would it take to convince you that the era of truth decay we were long warned about--where AI content dupes us, shapes our beliefs even when we catch the lie, and erodes societal trust in the process--is now here?

Texas A&M eliminates Women's and Gender Studies certificate program after reviewing 5,400 course syllabi, canceling six courses representing 0.11% of total offerings.

Signos is the first FDA-cleared, AI-enabled system that uses CGMs to nudge you towards healthier behaviors. According to the American Diabetes Association, around 7 million people in the United States are undiagnosed, with 1 in 3 Americans at risk for developing type 2 diabetes. If you do not go on medication, you can manage the condition--a chronic metabolic disease that's characterized by elevated blood sugar levels--by exercising and watching what you eat (very, very closely). In the past few years, the tools that diabetics use to help manage their condition have become more widely available. Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) like the Abbott Lingo and the Dexcom Stelo used to be available only by prescription.

Information Commissioner's Office to investigate whether Elon Musk's companies have complied with data protection law The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) has opened formal investigations into X and xAI over whether Elon Musk's companies have complied with data protection law after the Grok AI tool was used to generate sexual deepfake images without consent. The ICO said the reports raised "serious concerns" under UK data protection laws, such as whether "appropriate safeguards were built into Grok's design and deployment". William Malcolm, the executive director of regulatory risk and innovation at the ICO, said: "The reports about Grok raise deeply troubling questions about how people's personal data has been used to generate intimate or sexualised images without their knowledge or consent, and whether the necessary safeguards were put in place to prevent this. "Losing control of personal data in this way can cause immediate and significant harm. This is particularly the case where children are involved." In a separate statement, the regulator Ofcom said it was not investigating xAI, which provides the standalone Grok app. Ofcom also said its investigation into X, the social network formerly known as Twitter on which users can interact with Grok, was still gathering evidence and warned that the inquiry could take months. The company has taken steps to address the issue and must be given a "full opportunity to make representations", Ofcom added. On why it was not investigating xAI, the statement said: "When we opened our investigation into X, we said we were assessing whether we should also investigate xAI, as the provider of the standalone Grok service.

CES 2026 showed that humanoid and embodied AI systems still have a long way to go before delivering real-world value, particularly in homes. At the same time, there is a growing sense that the path to deployment is becoming clearer. A consensus has emerged across platforms: multi-camera perception, often wrist-mounted, paired with VLA models, is sufficient for most tasks. Increasingly, tactile hands and VTLA software are added. There was a clear split between industrial and home-care humanoids.
