The new class of anti-obesity drugs, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), is proving remarkably effective at helping individuals lose weight. However, a new population-wide study being presented at this year’s Annual Meeting of The European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD), Vienna (15-19 Sept) finds that half of adults without diabetes who start taking the weight-loss drug semaglutide in …

Scientists at the University of British Columbia (UBC) have made a breakthrough that could help bring nuclear fusion — often described as the “holy grail” of clean energy — out of giant research facilities and into smaller, more accessible labs. Their experiment showed, for the first time, that fusion reaction rates can be boosted at room temperature using a low-cost, …

And now, 20 Final Thoughts from college football’s Week 3, in which we got to watch two instant classics, Georgia-Tennessee and Texas A&M-Notre Dame, while also watching a whole bunch of coaches who seem to be trying to lose their jobs. 1. In 2024, Notre Dame finally earned some national respect with its run to the final night of the …

Johns Hopkins researchers have discovered new materials and a new process that could advance the ever-escalating quest to make smaller, faster and affordable microchips used across modern electronics — in everything from cellphones to cars, appliances to airplanes. The team of scientists has discovered how to create circuits that are so small they’re invisible to the naked eye using a …

Approximately 30% of the global population is affected by metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MASLD), a condition that previously lacked targeted treatments. In a groundbreaking discovery, researchers have identified a genetic factor that exacerbates the disease, and remarkably, the FDA-approved drug that most effectively targets this factor is vitamin B3. A collaborative research team led by Professor Jang Hyun Choi from …

Three scientists have won a $250,000 award for their contributions to developing a life-saving therapy for the genetic disease cystic fibrosis (CF). The prize, called the Lasker-DeBakey Clinical Medical Research Award, went to Dr. Michael Welsh of the University of Iowa, Paul Negulescu of Vertex Therapeutics and Jesús (Tito) González of Integro Theranostics. It’s one of this year’s Lasker Awards …

Researchers have developed a breakthrough technology that solves a fundamental limit in electronics. This new technology, dubbed an “optoexcitonic switch,” could lead to a new class of electronics — ranging from phones and PCs to data centers and quantum computers that can operate at without generating waste heat. The new switch works like a conventional electronic switch, which uses an …
