A new drug developed by California-based pharmaceutical company Amgen has shown strong potential as an effective obesity treatment. In a completed phase II trial, participants receiving a once-monthly injection of the drug—called MariTide—lost up to 16% of their body weight within a year. That level of weight loss is similar to the average results seen

Picture a future where robotic legs enable people with disabilities to walk independently. A new open-source exoskeleton project from Northern Arizona University is bringing that vision closer to reality. Currently, the high cost and time required to develop complex electromechanical systems often prevent research from getting off the ground. However, that could soon change.After years

In an effort to protect elephants from extinction, the global community banned the trade of elephant ivory. However, mammoth ivory remains legal to sell, and the two types are hard to distinguish—particularly for those without expertise. This creates a potential loophole that illegal ivory traders can take advantage of. Stable isotope analysis may now offer

Many creatures on Earth are known to emit visible light, but humans typically aren’t thought to be among them. However, that assumption might not be entirely accurate. As far back as 1923, research has shown that humans give off faint light—luminescence at frequencies that, while technically visible, are far too dim for the human eye
