High blood pressure is the number one reason that most people visit their doctor. Known as the “silent assassin,” it often creeps in quietly. You feel fine, yet the force in your arteries runs high day after day. The top number, called systolic pressure, is the one doctors watch most closely because it signals how hard your heart is working …

Even though weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy are medical breakthroughs, scientists are continuing to work on the next generation of obesity drugs. The latest discovery involves another hormone known as amylin, which scientists say could help revolutionize weight-loss drugs as we know them. RELATED: Why Up to 75% of People on Weight-Loss Drugs Stop Taking Them, Cardiologist Says. …

When the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) commenced operations, it provided the first views of the period known as Cosmic Dawn. This cosmological epoch, which took place between 50 million and one billion years after the Big Bang, was when the first stars and galaxies in the Universe formed. What Webb’s observations revealed of this period surprised and intrigued scientists. …

An unassuming green alga that has lived quietly in laboratory flasks for decades just revealed it carries a giant virus so large, and so stealthy, that nobody had noticed it before. The find rewrites what scientists thought they knew about how big a virus can grow while still hiding inside a single-celled host. The work, led by Maria …

Mathematicians have found a way to transform an unproductive quantum computing approach by reviving a class of previously discarded particles. Quantum computers can solve problems beyond the capabilities of classical computers by using principles like superposition. This means a quantum bit, or qubit, can represent both 0 and 1 simultaneously, similar to the famous thought experiment of a cat being …

IN A NUTSHELL 🌌 Scientists at Columbia University discovered a hybrid crystal-glass material called tridymite with unique thermal properties. 🔬 Tridymite maintains constant thermal conductivity across temperatures, defying conventional heat conduction behaviors. 🔥 The material’s properties could revolutionize steel production by improving heat management and reducing carbon emissions. 🌍 Ongoing research into tridymite may impact future technologies, including sustainable practices …

Summary: Researchers have developed a long-acting weekly injection that delivers steady doses of levodopa and carbidopa, potentially transforming care for Parkinson’s disease. The biodegradable injectable maintains consistent drug levels, reducing the need for multiple daily pills and improving patient adherence. In lab tests, the gel released over 90% of the levodopa and 81% of the carbidopa within seven days, with …

CNN  —  Virtual reality was supposed to transform entertainment. At least, that was the expectation roughly a decade ago with the arrival of the Oculus Rift, the first virtual reality (VR) headset that many believed would push VR into the mainstream. In 2025, the industry has failed to deliver on that promise. But tech and entertainment giants alike believe that …
