The University of Madeira (UMa) promotes, on September 25th, between 3:00 PM and 9:30 PM, at Largo do Colégio, in Funchal, Macaronight 2026 – European Researchers' Night. The event is open to the public and free entry, as per press release.

The main objective of Macaronight 2026 is to bring Science and Research closer to society, providing direct contact with the work developed by professors, researchers and students from UMa.

Throughout the afternoon and evening, different areas of research and knowledge from the university will be presented, allowing participants to closely know the activities developed at the institution.

Why this matters

Readers in the Madeira region have access to a free scientific event that allows them to directly learn about the research work of the University of Madeira. Family members, students and the general public can interact with professors and researchers, demystifying science and promoting scientific literacy in the community. The event is part of the European Researchers' Night, a pan-European initiative to promote research.

How to live to 110: The immune secret of supercentenarians | By Isabel Duarte

A new study published in the journal Cell Reports reveals that supercentenarians (people over 110 years old) have an unusually high number of cytotoxic CD4 T lymphocytes, immune cells that can directly kill dangerous cells in the body. These cells represented only 4% of T lymphocytes in people between 70 and 99 years old, but rose to 17.6% in supercentenarians — more than four times as many. Furthermore, many of these cells were clones of each other, indicating that they multiplied repeatedly throughout life. The researchers raise the hypothesis that these cells may help eliminate cancer cells before they form tumors, although it is not yet known exactly what their true targets are.

What effect do colors have on our brain?

Colors do not physically exist in light — it only contains wavelengths, and it is the nervous system that constructs the experience of color by processing signals from the retina. Science confirms that there is a neuroscience of color, with research demonstrating how different shades affect emotions, concentration, and human behavior. The human retina has five types of photoreceptors (four types of cones and rods) that work together to create our chromatic perception, and although associations such as red with danger or green with tranquility are widespread, the neurological response to colors is more complex and individual than many imagine.
