Many people prescribed GLP-1 drugs for type 2 diabetes (such as Victoza, Ozempic, or tirzepatide) stop taking them, but a surprising number later return to treatment. Researchers found that newer medications appear to keep patients on therapy longer, ...

A large real-world study suggests semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy, Rybelsus) may offer an unexpected bonus for people with type 2 diabetes: stronger protection against bone fractures while delivering greater weight loss. Researchers analyzing health ...

Physicists have solved a long-standing problem involving systems that appear to violate Newton's third law, such as bird flocks and bacterial swarms. By adding carefully designed "imaginary partners" to their models, they can now simulate these ...

Researchers discovered that hydrogen radicals generated by intense UV light can break down stubborn PFAS "forever chemicals" without added chemicals. The breakthrough reveals a key mechanism that could lead to greener and more effective technologies ...

A new SETI study suggests we may be overlooking alien signals not because they aren't there, but because their own stars are scrambling them before they escape into space. Turbulent plasma and powerful stellar storms can spread an ultra-narrow radio ...

Humans evolved to pay close attention to danger, but today that instinct is being overwhelmed by an endless supply of bad news from around the world. Researchers say the answer isn't to stop following current events--it's to build healthier habits .. ...
