Scientists find an immune “false alarm” that may drive rapid aging

Scientists have discovered that some severe genetic disorders linked to rapid aging may be driven not just by damaged DNA, but by the body’s overreaction to that damage. When broken DNA fragments leak into the wrong part of a cell, an immune sensor called cGAS can mistake them for signs of a viral infection, triggering chronic inflammation and even interfering with DNA repair itself.

The 'cold-start' problem: online employment platforms are misaligned with skilled late-career workers, study finds

The 'cold-start' problem: online employment platforms are misaligned with skilled late-career workers, study finds Anonymous (not verified) Wed, 09/16/2026 - 14:52 Many skilled older workers seek to transition from full-time stressful jobs to more flexible work, but freelance employment platforms don’t adequately recognise their credentials so there is a mismatch, finds a new study published in the journal Administrative Science Quarterly.Internet technology and the advent of the gig economy have given hope to many highly skilled workers that their reputations built up over many years can help them transition from a traditional office-based job (with associated pressures) to freelancing work...

A 240-million-year-old fossil just changed the dinosaur timeline

A newly identified 240-million-year-old animal from Tanzania is forcing scientists to rethink the early dinosaur timeline. Dinodontosaurus isiyavamanda belongs to a group previously known only from South America, linking fossil deposits on the two continents. That connection suggests Tanzania’s supposed oldest dinosaur fossils may actually be millions of years younger than previously thought.

A healthy mind for a calmer future: lunch & learn conference on burnout, 6 October 2026

TOPIC:At CERN A healthy mind for a calmer future: lunch & learn conference on burnout, 6 October 2026 Written by: Medical Service — 16 September, 2026 Join us on 6 October for a new lunch & learn conference in the series “A healthy mind for a calmer future”. In this session, entitled “Burnout: aware today, sustainable tomorrow”, we will dive into the theme of burnout, a state of emotional, mental and often physical exhaustion brought on by prolonged or repeated stress. Emma Richardson, an FSP-certified psychologist from Possibility Coaching, will give a talk entitled “Burnout is not (only) exhaustion: what we miss when we reduce it to stress”, and a CERN colleague will share a personal accou...

Venus may have swallowed its own moon

Venus may have once had a moon, but new research suggests the planet’s incredibly slow rotation could have doomed it. Computer simulations showed that instead of gradually drifting away like Earth’s moon, a Venusian moon would likely spiral inward until it crashed into the planet, with larger moons falling even faster.

Irrigation’s climate benefit could equal 363 years of its own emissions

U.S. irrigation produces some greenhouse gas emissions, but new research suggests it prevents vastly more by allowing farmers to grow more food on less land. Without irrigation, replacing lost crop yields could require converting natural ecosystems into farmland, releasing an estimated 6.86 gigatons of greenhouse gases. That is equivalent to about 363 years of current annual U.S. irrigation emissions.

Diagnostic dilemma: A man's sudden fainting episodes landed him in the hospital — and a hair dye was to blame

The patient: A 61-year-old man in IndiaThe symptoms: The man went to an emergency department after fainting. He had felt nauseous just before the episode, which lasted about three minutes and was followed by a second fainting episode lasting about two minutes. He also had swelling around one eye. His family told doctors that he hadn't shown any jerking movements, loss of bladder control or subsequent grogginess, which would have been telltale signs of a seizure.What happened next: Because the man had fainted twice and had a history of heart disease, doctors first looked for problems affecting his brain and heart. An MRI of his brain, used to look for structural abnormalities that could expla...

New laptop ditches noisy fans and heat sinks for tiny 'cooling chips' — it's much thinner and lighter than you'd expect

BERLIN — Lenovo has unveiled a concept laptop that uses high-speed air to silently cool its processor, instead of conventional fans or heat sinks. The new system is powered by a tiny computer chip that can fit between your fingers.The new laptop, called AeroBlade, is fitted with four low-power cooling chips that are both "solid-state," meaning there are no moving parts, and "active" — they use a deliberate cooling mechanism — as opposed to relying on passive thermal energy transfer. The cooling chips contain tiny membranes that vibrate at ultrasonic frequencies to create 2,000 pascals of back pressure, forcing ambient air through tiny internal jets onto a copper base layer at speeds of aroun...

Measure by measure, studying society accurately

Let’s agree at the outset the world is a complicated place, and social scientists have exacting jobs when it comes to measuring civic phenomena with precision. After all, even careful studies raise follow-up questions: How much do their findings apply in other settings? Do conclusions about politics in one country apply to other countries? If you’re studying voters in a lopsided election, will your findings apply to voters in a close election? Those questions are all a natural part of the research process.That’s where Naoki Egami comes in. Egami is an MIT political scientist whose specialty is the methodology of research. He carefully scrutinizes, for one thing, what social scientists call “...

MIT startups inspire with impressive presentations at Demo Day 2026

The annual “Demo Day” event at MIT, which marks the end of the delta v startup accelerator, fell on the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks this year, giving MIT entrepreneurs a chance to honor the memory of those lost that day while presenting their startup progress in the program.Each year, the event celebrates all that students achieved while working full-time on their ventures over the summer with support and guidance from the Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship.But the usually boisterous night started with the program’s military veterans asking for a moment of silence.“Today is a day of remembrance, but also a day of celebration,” founder and MIT graduate student Kevin Pow...

James Webb reveals Chariklo’s mysterious rings are changing faster than expected

The James Webb Space Telescope has revealed surprising changes in the rings around Chariklo, a small object orbiting between Saturn and Uranus. Over just a few years, its inner ring became more opaque while its outer ring became less opaque. The results suggest that rings around small Solar System bodies may be much more dynamic than scientists previously believed. What is causing the changes remains a mystery.

Ultra-processed foods linked to hidden muscle fat that may threaten your knees

Eating more ultra-processed foods was linked to greater fat buildup inside thigh muscles, according to MRI scans of 615 adults at risk for knee osteoarthritis. Surprisingly, the association remained even after researchers accounted for calorie intake, physical activity, and other factors. Fatty changes in these muscles may weaken support around the knee and potentially increase osteoarthritis risk.
