Scientists at the California Institute of Technology have unveiled a groundbreaking ‘smart mask’ that doesn’t just protect you from germs, it analyzes your breath, giving you a mini health check. While other smart masks in development focus on physical factors like breath rate or temperature, the EBCare mask, short for “exhaled breath condensate analysis and respiratory evaluation”, dives deeper, examining the very molecules you exhale. Its developers say the potential applications of this technology include things such as the monitoring of chronic conditions like asthma or COPD, tracking metabolic health, or even the detection of early signs of respiratory infections. They say that one day, you could be able to adjust your medication or lifestyle in real time, based on what your breath is telling you, or be aware of and treat an illness before symptoms even appear.

Former WWE boss Vince McMahon has come out against the Netflix docuseries “Mr. McMahon”, ahead today’s release. In a statement posted on his X account, McMahon wrote: “The producers had an opportunity to tell an objective story about my life and the incredible business I built…Unfortunately, based on an early partial cut I’ve seen, this doc falls short and takes the predictable path of conflating the ‘Mr. McMahon’ character with my true self.” He also said: “A lot has been misrepresented or left out entirely in an effort to leave viewers intentionally confused”, and that editing tricks and “out of context footage” footage was used “to distort the viewers’ perception and support a deceptive narrative.” He then asked viewers to “remember that there are two sides to every story.” LINK: https://tinyurl.com/feu3c4mj

A study has found that 65% agree that Spandex should NOT be worn at work.

A company has developed a type of pants that come with a built-in exoskeleton powered by powerful motors — that can increase the wearer’s leg strength by 40%, and make them feel 30 pounds lighter. The Arc’tryx MO/GO Hiking Pants (MO/GO is short for ‘mountain goat’) come with carbon fiber support structures that feed power from AI-controlled motors at the knees to the wearer’s leg muscles during ascents, and decreasing pressure on their knees during descents. The pants, which looks like regular khakis with an outside brace on each leg, are designed to make hiking more accessible to people who may not have the endurance for it. The motors located on the side of the knees are powered by a battery pack around the waist. The battery recharges automatically while the wearer is walking downhill.

WEIRD NEWS: Brought to you by WeirdGiftOfTheDay.com

We’ve all heard the speech from our dental hygienist about not flossing properly. Or not flossing often enough. Or (ahem!) not flossing at all. But here’s a new spin: There’s another dental-pro-approved way to get the most from flossing – adding toothpaste to the floss before using it. Dentist and founder of Dentologie clinic Dr M has posted a viral TikTok on the subject that explains: “Adding toothpaste to your floss can prevent cavities between your teeth.” How? The caption reads: “Toothpaste on your floss increases the uptake of fluoride between your teeth, and decreases risk for decay.” The oral health company B. Weiss Health agrees, adding that the abrasion of toothpaste, in combination with the reach of floss between the teeth, is a good way to get at hard-to-reach plaque, too. Dr M has also made a video explaining how to apply the stuff to your floss, because, as you know, it has a much smaller surface area than a toothbrush.
