A New Obesity Pill May Burn Fat Without Suppressing Appetite

wired.com Emily Mullin 2025-12-01 03:00:00

An experimental obesity pill that works in a different way from the wildly popular Ozempic may help people lose weight, according to results from a small, preliminary human trial. 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

One sunny afternoon in May, a century-old power plant in Brooklyn was buzzing—not with electricity, but with hundreds of creatives congregating at the Black Zine Fair. Handmade booklets piled up on table after table, forming vast paper topographies of politics and activism and culture. Marginalized groups in skating!

How to Out-Troll the Trolls, as Told by the Internet’s Foremost Posters

The WIRED Guide to Protecting Yourself From Government Surveillance

The Trump administration has ordered Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to carry out sweeping raids, deporting thousands of immigrants, often without due process. It has targeted left-leaning foreign students and entire universities, canceling visas and threatening to withhold federal funding.

On a sunny April afternoon in Seattle, around 40 activists gathered at the Pine Box, a beer and pizza bar in the sometimes scruffy Capitol Hill neighborhood. The group had reserved a side room attached to the outside patio; before remarks began, attendees flowed in and out, enjoying the warm day. Someone set up a sound system. Then the activists settled in, straining their ears as the streamed call crackled through less-than-perfect speakers. In more than a decade of climate organizing, it was

I'm old enough to remember when PCs were huge, looming units. They had to be big to hold all the components that made up a PC. As gaming PCs became a thing, these were even bigger because the high-end components generated a lot of heat. In turn, the heat had to be dissipated with copious amounts of airflow. Thanks to Moore's law, components have become smaller and more efficient, to the point where even a gaming PC can fit into a surprisingly compact case. Also: The best portable power stations

A key question in all of these lawsuits has been how easily AI models produce verbatim excerpts from the plaintiffs’ copyrighted content.
