Something Comically Bad Just Happened to the Inventor of Ozempic

Image by Kristian Tuxen Ladegaard Berg/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images / Futurism Rx/Medicines Novo Nordisk, the Danish company behind Ozempic and Wegovy, made one very dumb decision a few years ago that's now poised to massively eat into its profits — a wild twist in the pharma company's saga, and an all-time cautionary tale for its peers. When watching an interview with the head of generic drugmaker Sandoz, Science magazine columnist Derek Lowe learned something incredible: that Nov

I don’t buy Samsung’s excuse for not using a silicon-carbon battery in the S25 Edge

Ryan Haines / Android Authority Samsung just launched the Galaxy S25 Edge, and it’s probably the most polarizing Galaxy phone in years. The new phone brings an impressively thin and light design along with a 6.7-inch display. It also has the S25 Ultra’s 200MP main camera. Unfortunately, this thin and light phone comes with several compromises, such as no telephoto camera and 25W wired charging power. However, the 3,900mAh battery is the Galaxy S25 Edge’s biggest cutback. Samsung could have use

AI residencies are trying to change the conversation around artificial art

At a recent exhibition in Copenhagen, visitors stepped into a dark room and were met by an unusual host: a jaguar that watched the crowd, selected individuals, and began to share stories about her daughter, her rainforest, and the fires that once threatened her home — the Bolivian Amazon. The live interaction with Huk, an AI-driven creature, is tailored to each visitor based on visual cues. Bolivian Australian artist Violeta Ayala created the piece during an arts residency at Mila, one of the wo

Orthopedic Doctors Evaluate if Biological Age TikTok Challenges Are the Real Deal

If you’ve scrolled through TikTok or Instagram, you’ve probably seen fitness challenges focused on your biological age. In some cases, it’s funny to see people attempting these challenges or impressive to see them succeed. You’ve probably felt inspired to try out some of these challenges and even questioned their legitimacy. “Most of these challenges, like completing 11 consecutive push-ups (for women), doing pull-ups or performing a kneeling-to-squat jump, are quick screens of muscular strengt

Why Is iMessage or RCS Texting Broken? Here's How to Fix It on Your iPhone

'Dosa Divas' Is a ‘Spicy’ New Game About Fighting Capitalism With Food

Here's What to Know if a TikTok Sale Never Goes Through

Maybe third time's the charm? President Donald Trump said he'll "probably" extend Tiktok's sale deadline a third time. He signed an executive order in April, giving the app 75 days to sell itself to an approved buyer after he signed a similar order in January. TikTok went dark for a short period in the US in January before that deadline extension was announced. The sale of TikTok would allow the app to continue operating in the US. Former President Joe Biden signed a law in 2024 that effectivel

New dating for White Sands footprints confirms controversial theory

The 2009 discovery of footprints (human and animal) left behind in layers of clay and silt at New Mexico’s White Sands National Park sparked a contentious debate about when, exactly, human cultures first developed in North America. Until about a decade ago, it seemed as if the first Americans arrived near the end of the last Ice Age and were part of the Clovis culture, named for the distinctive projectile points they left behind near what’s now Clovis, New Mexico. But various dating methods indi
