An automated human washing machine was one of the highlights at the Osaka Kansai Expo, giving visitors a glimpse into the future of personal hygiene technology.

Firefighters might face an increased risk of developing “glioma,” a type of brain cancer, due to certain chemicals encountered on the job.

These signatures — unique patterns of genetic changes in DNA — help scientists trace the source of mutations. Earlier research has associated these mutations with certain chemicals found in fire
