For the study, a team of astronomers went searching for signs of interactions between Uranus’s magnetic field and its four largest moons: Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, and Obero

A New Obesity Pill May Burn Fat Without Suppressing Appetite

wired.com Emily Mullin 2025-10-03 13:00:00

Ozempic and other GLP-1 drugs reduce food intake by stimulating a feeling of fullness. They act on the brain to promote satiety and on the gut to slow the movement of food through the stomach, helping people feel full longer. As a result, people on the drugs lose weight because they eat less. But a new drug may be ab
