Picture an oversized arcade claw machine—only instead of toys, it picks up the waste littering the seafloor. That’s what an autonomous robot has been doing recently in Marseille. We humans generate a lot of waste, much of which gets dumped on land or into the sea, often ignored once it’s out of sight. This careless […]

During sleep, the body releases ‘growth hormone‘ to repair and strengthen muscles and bones — though the exact mechanisms behind this process have long been unclear. Now, through detailed analysis of brain circuits in mice, a research team led by scientists at the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) has uncovered specific mechanisms and feedback
Research Uncovers Brain Mechanism That Heals the Body During Sleep Read More »
This summer, scientists drilled beneath the Atlantic off the U.S. Northeast and uncovered a vast, little-known freshwater reservoir — a finding that could hold major implications for a world grappling with a worsening water crisis. Freshwater beneath the Atlantic has been known for decades but left mostly unexplored. In the 1960s and 1970s, research expeditions

Although medications like Ozempic have shown strong results in helping people shed pounds, many patients regain the weight once they stop treatment. A new drug, however, takes a different approach, aiming to deliver longer-lasting results by altering the body’s metabolism. Drugs such as Ozempic, Wegovy, and Trulicity belong to a class called GLP-1 receptor agonists.
