An intelligent, practical path to reindustrialization

Then, a little over a decade ago, MIT’s “Production in the Innovation Economy” initiative highlighted the opportunities we miss if design and manufacturing teams are miles or even oceans apart—and played a significant role in shaping the nation’s Advanced Manufacturing Initiative. Building on this legacy, and in response to an urgent national interest in restoring America’s manufacturing strength, an inspired group of MIT faculty came together in 2022 to found the Manufacturing@MIT Working Grou

Ozempic Might Be a Dementia Buster, Too

Semaglutide, the active ingredient in popular weight loss drugs Ozempic and Wegovy, might also double as a brain booster. Research out today describes a link between semaglutide use and a reduced risk of dementia in people with type 2 diabetes. Scientists at Case Western Reserve University conducted the study, published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease. They found that diabetes patients taking semaglutide have a significantly lower risk of dementia than those taking other diabetes medicati

The Tacx Alpine is a $1,100 gradient simulator for your Garmin smart bike trainer

Cycling season may have only just started, but that’s not stopping Garmin from looking ahead to when all the roadies need to take their bikes indoors. On Tuesday, the company announced the Tacx Alpine, an indoor gradient simulator for its family of NEO smart trainers. The accessory can replicate inclines of up to 25 percent and declines of up to -10 percent, with adjustments made either manually through a built-in control panel or automatically when using the device with a compatible apps like Z

Novo Nordisk Abruptly Ends Partnership with Hims, Claiming ‘Sham Compounding’ GLP-1 Drugs

Bad blood is brewing among some major players in the weight loss world. Novo Nordisk, the creator of Ozempic and Wegovy, cut short its partnership with telehealth company Hims & Hers Health Inc. over allegations that the latter is still trying to mass-market cheaper versions of the GLP-1 drugs. Bloomberg News reported the abrupt dissolution of the partnership Monday, just two months after it was struck. Novo claims that Hims is using “deceptive marketing” to widely sell compounded semaglutide t

Eli Lilly’s Obesity Pill Appears to Work as Well as Injected GLP-1s

Eli Lilly’s daily anti-obesity pill orforglipron appears to be as good at spurring weight loss and lowering blood sugar in diabetes patients as popular injectable GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, according to new data from a Phase 3 trial. The results were announced today at the annual meeting of the American Diabetes Association and published in the New England Journal of Medicine. Eli Lilly is the maker of the blockbuster GLP-1 drug tirzepatide, approved as Mounjaro for type 2 diabetes and Zepbound

How to Beat Jet Lag

We’ve all been there after a long trip—staring blankly at emails, counting the hours until bed. Yet when 2 am hits, you’re still wide awake, mindlessly scrolling through Instagram, trapped in the grip of jet lag. That’s the price for crossing time zones too fast. Our internal clock, or circadian rhythm, governs everything from sleep to digestion to hormones and uses light to maintain its natural 24-hour cycle. But when we land in a new time zone, and day suddenly turns to night, this rhythm is

Alpha Centauri

This article tells part of the story of the Civilization series. In the spring of 1996, Brian Reynolds and Jeff Briggs took a long, hard look around them and decided that they’d rather be somewhere else. At that time, the two men were working for MicroProse Software, for whom they had just completed Civilization II, with Reynolds in the role of primary designer and programmer and Briggs in that of co-designer, producer, and soundtrack composer. They had brought the project in for well under $1

Astronomers capture ultra-detailed image of nearby Sculptor galaxy

Stunning: Astronomers have captured the most detailed image ever of the Sculptor galaxy, an incredibly complex system located roughly 11 million light-years from Earth. The composite was created using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope, and is comprised of over 100 exposures captured during a 50-hour marathon observation session. The Sculptor galaxy, also known as NGC 253, is similar in size, mass, and shape to our own spiral Milky Way. ESO researcher Enrico Congiu said th

The Download: talking dirty with DeepSeek, and the risks and rewards of calorie restriction

AI companions like Replika are designed to engage in intimate exchanges, but people use general-purpose chatbots for sex talk too, despite their stricter content moderation policies. Now new research shows that not all chatbots are equally willing to talk dirty. DeepSeek is the easiest to convince. But other AI chatbots can be enticed too. Huiqian Lai, a PhD student at Syracuse University, found vast differences in how mainstream models process sexual queries, from steadfast rejection to perf

How AI Is Helping Students Find the Right College

After Julia Dixon graduated from the University of Michigan in 2014, her family and friends asked for her help with the college application process. Dixon was happy to share her recently earned expertise about the world of higher education but soon realized how many parents and students in her community needed help and how hard it was for them to access that support.

They can purchase a new computer, one with enough oomph to run Windows 11 (an expensive proposition in an unstable economy). They can run the risk of using an unsupported OS (not wise in a world that is getting ever more dangerous). They can install

Astronomers Capture the Most Colorful Image of a Galaxy Ever

Caldwell 65, better known as the Sculptor galaxy, is bursting with stellar activity and dust-rich features. Located 11 million light-years away—right next door in cosmological terms—it offers a rare glimpse of young stars being born into the celestial circle of life. Using the Very Large Telescope (VLT), astronomers captured an incredibly detailed image of the nearby spiral galaxy, displayed in thousands of colors that illuminate all the action taking place in our galactic neighborhood. The Eur

Surgery Still Beats Ozempic and Other GLP-1 Drugs in Real-World Weight Loss Study

When it comes to weight loss, surgery still reigns supreme. Research out today shows that people undergoing bariatric surgery tend to lose significantly more weight than people taking the newest, most effective GLP-1 medications for obesity. Scientists at New York University conducted the study, which analyzed real-world data from obesity patients. People who received surgery lost five times more weight over a two year span on average than those who were prescribed a GLP-1 drug, they found. The

"Microsoft Locked My Account – I Lost 30 Years of Photos and Work"

I’m beyond frustrated. Microsoft randomly locked my account after I moved 30 years' worth of irreplaceable photos and work to OneDrive. I was consolidating data from multiple old drives before a major move—drives I had to discard due to space and relocation constraints. The plan was simple: upload to OneDrive, then transfer to a new drive later. Instead, Microsoft suspended my account without warning, reason, or any legitimate recourse. I've submitted the compliance form 18 times—eighteen—and e

Your Kidneys Will Thank You for Adding These 13 Foods to Your Plate

And according to the CDC, more than 1 in 7 U.S. adults already have chronic kidney disease, whether they know it or not. The good news? Supporting your kidneys doesn't have to mean overhauling your entire lifestyle. With a few smart dietary changes, you can help protect

Last fifty years of integer linear programming: Recent practical advances

Mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) has become a cornerstone of operations research. This is driven by the enhanced efficiency of modern solvers, which can today find globally optimal solutions within seconds for problems that were out of reach a decade ago. The versatility of these solvers allowed successful applications in many areas, such as transportation, logistics, supply chain management, revenue management, finance, telecommunications, and manufacturing.
