Putin says organ transplants could grant immortality. Not quite.

technologyreview.com Jessica Hamzelou 2025-10-11 20:00:00

First, back to Putin’s proposal: the idea of continually replacing aged organs to stay young. It’s a simplistic way to think about aging. After all, aging is so complicated that researchers can’t agree on what causes it, why it occurs, or even how to define it, let alone “treat” it. Having said that, there may be some merit to the idea of repairing worn-out body parts with biological or synthetic replacements. Replacement therapies—including bioengineered organs—are being developed by multiple

The Extraordinary Rise in the Wealth of Older American Households

news.ycombinator.com Edward N. Wolff 2025-10-31 04:16:08

There has been a seismic shift in age-wealth profiles in the U.S. over years 1983 to 2022. The most notable is the sharp rise in the relative household wealth of age group 75 and over. Correspondingly, the relative wealth holdings of all other age groups dropped over these years. Using the Survey of Consumer Finances, the paper focuses on the youngest age group, 35 and under, and the oldest age group, 75 and over, and analyzes the factors behind these relative shifts in wealth.

New Study Fuels Debate Over World-Changing Comet Strike 12,800 Years Ago

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-11-12 14:10:34

Roughly 12,800 years ago, as Earth was emerging from its last great ice age, temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere suddenly plummeted back to near-glacial conditions. The cause of this abrupt shift—known as the Younger Dryas cool period—remains a mystery to this day, but new evidence may give credence to its most controversial explanation. Researchers analyzed sediment cores extracted from the seafloor of Baffin Bay near Greenland, finding indicators of a cosmic impact event inside the layer

Are We Creating Entrepreneurs or Just Privileged Risk-Takers?

We've all seen them — those impossibly young entrepreneurs gracing magazine covers, giving TED talks, and securing million-dollar funding rounds before they can legally drink. Mark Zuckerberg dropping out of Harvard, Evan Spiegel turning down billions for Snapchat, or countless other "wunderkind" stories that dominate our feeds.

Gen-Z’s Social Media Addiction May Have Ironically Led to an Indie Cinema Revival

During the pandemic, movie theaters notably struggled, as social distancing restrictions all but temporarily killed their business model. Many smaller, independent theaters went out of business permanently. However, since the pandemic has ebbed, the film industry has slowly recovered. Attendance in theaters is not exactly where it was prior to the pandemic, but attendance is significantly higher than it was during Covid, and continues to climb.

Director Matt Reeves and co-writer Mattson Tomlin have been secretive about what to expect from their Bat-sequel, but there’ve been rumors flying for some time now, with the most recent being that it’ll be darker—because of course it’ll be, and probably likened to Empire Strikes Back at some point—and will feature Robin, Batman’s sidekick.

New IVF Startup Claims It Can Predict an Embryo's IQ

The 21st century has seen startups rise from a relatively niche business approach to a multi-trillion-dollar phenomenon. Between 2021 and 2023, startups generated an estimated $7.6 trillion in global value. From 2019 to 2023 — a rocky period for the economy overall — the number of startups in the US still increased by 16 percent. But with all that success comes a whole lotta risk.

The New ‘Long Walk’ Trailer Promises a Grim, Nightmarish Stephen King Survival Tale

Author Stephen King and director Francis Lawrence are both known for deftly handling tales involving kids put through hell with no guarantee they’ll survive. Think the Losers’ Club in It for King and every young person to appear in a Hunger Games movie for Lawrence. So to combine their talents on The Long Walk, based on King’s 1979 dystopian novel, feels rather ideal—not to mention nightmarish, as the film’s brutal first trailer suggested.

“Have we no shame?”: Trump’s NIH grant cuts appallingly illegal, judge rules

The Trump administration has locked horns with a federal judge who ruled on Monday that more than $1 billion in DEI-fueled cuts to federal health research clearly discriminated against racial minorities and LGBTQ+ people. In what The New York Times dubbed a “damning assessment” of Trump’s motives, Judge Williams G.
