A linguistic warning sign for dementia

Technology Review  

Older people with mild cognitive impairment, especially when characterized by episodic memory loss, are at increased risk for dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease. Now a study by researchers from MIT, Cornell, and Massachusetts General Hospital has identified a key deficit unrelated to memory that may help reveal the condition early—when any available treatments are likely…

The energy transition’s effects on jobs

Technology Review  

A county-by-county analysis by MIT researchers shows the places in the US that stand to see the biggest economic changes from the switch to cleaner energy because their job markets are most closely linked to fossil fuels.  While many of those places have intensive drilling and mining operations, the researchers find, areas that rely on…

An invisibility cloak for would-be cancers

Technology Review  

One of the immune system’s roles is to detect and kill cells that have acquired cancerous mutations. However, some early-stage cancer cells manage to survive.

Technology Review  

As an international student at MIT, I find that the privileges I’ve experienced in the States have made me even more conscious of my nation’s struggles.

Raman to go

Technology Review
