...free radicals, a type of highly reactive molecule that can damage DNA. One might argue that women whose children were born with those disorders already had something wrong with their DNA and that stress wasn't the cause. But that wouldn't explain another crucial fact: the degree of cellular damage was highest in women who had been caring for a disabled child the longest.

...antiaging medicine to protect cells is distant at best. Still, the study seems to tie together a lot of interesting threads. "What will really be interesting," says Sapolsky, "will be to trace the pathways--how you go from the level of people getting no sleep down to the cellular level.

...lives and works. But today, some think this wry, lively elder statesman, now 75, is working to undermine the very mobile behemoths he helped create. That's because he's the founder and chairman of ArrayComm, a San Jose, California, company that has radically redesigned the antennae that send cellular signals to handsets - it may be a better product, but it's also a threat to some hundreds of billions of dollars invested by the mobile giants. He is overhauling the way wireless signals travel, ushering in what he calls the "revolutionary next stage in radio communications...

The chip, called Chorus, receives broadcast signals from television operators, digitally encoded so they can't be intercepted. That system is a threat to mobile operators, because broadcast signals bypass cellular networks. A phone owner could receive video programming without having to buy it from a mobile network provider...
