| Aug 2, 2019 at 9:23 | comment | added | nnnnnn | Not a single word, but how about "relatively recent"? "Middle-aged" is quite a different concept to what you're asking about I think, because living things have a finite lifespan, but research doesn't. | |
| Aug 2, 2019 at 9:17 | comment | added | BoldBen | Hello, welcome to EL&U. You say that you want the term to apply to 'a non-living thing' but you also say that you want it to be applicable to articles and reasearch. I can think of a few terms but not many of them would apply to everything including an eight-year old car, a four-year old laptop, a two-year old article on computing and a thirty-year old study into a rare medical condition. I suspect that you are more concerned with describing publications and research rather than objects, am I right? | |

| Aug 2, 2019 at 9:13 | comment | added | Mari-Lou A | Please supply a sample sentence where this term or expression would be used IN your question. It will make everyone's lives much easier! :) May I also suggest modifying the title as "two words" could refer to any compound word in English | |
