Now that the Mounjaro and Zepbound shortage is over, Eli Lilly is going after the cottage industry selling “compounded” versions of its meds.

Mounjaro and Zepbound are now out of shortage. This should be good news—but because so many patients are taking compounded versions of these GLP-1 medications, it’s a complicated situation.

More than 200 health care facilities in impacted areas are moving patients and residents in what the state’s chief of emergency medical oversight calls “our largest evacuation ever.”

One woman spills the beans about giving birth to rich people's children. “They were offering Scrooge McDuck buckets of money.”

The US defense research agency is funding three universities to engineer reef structures that will be colonized by corals and bivalves and absorb the power of future storms.

The strange, apocalyptic skies during the storm reveal how light behaves in the atmosphere when it’s filled with an unusual amount of water vapor, dust, and debris.

Milton’s reclassification to a Category 3 storm suggests it is weakening, but the scale accounts only for wind speed and not hurricane size, storm surge heights, or rainfall—which are all catastrophically large.

Tampa, Florida is the most vulnerable US city to hurricane damage. Delays to floodwater defenses and relentless development only made the situation worse.

As it becomes clear that climate change devastation can hit anywhere, engineers are considering how best to protect vital thoroughfares from intense storms.

Many homeowners in North Carolina won’t be insured against flooding or landslides due to the fragmented way in which disasters are covered.

With Monday's closure of Ratcliffe-on-Soar, coal is no longer being used to provide electricity in the UK.

AI takes a lot of energy to run, but underwater data centers might not be the answer.

Bertrand Piccard says sustainability doesn’t have to come at a cost—and that reframing attempts to hit net zero as a way of generating profit could be key to hitting targets.

Highly dependent on imported fossil fuels, soon to shutter its last nuclear plant, and slow to build out renewables, the world’s largest producer of advanced computer chips is heading toward an energy crunch.

Since launching in 2014, the world’s premier EV racing series has made huge technological leaps and gained hundreds of millions of fans. But CEO Jeff Dodds won’t rest until every new car is electric.

Experimental cells that combine silicon with a material called perovskite have broken the efficiency record for converting solar energy—and could eventually supercharge how we get electricity.

NASA’s Europa Clipper mission is set for launch, finally revealing if this icy moon of Jupiter is habitable or not.

A NASA inspector general report gives new details on a leak that has plagued the ISS for five years, and reveals that the agency considers it the highest-level risk.

The most ambitious private spaceflight to date was a total success—and it blazed a trail for others to follow.

For decades, a black hole with as much spin or charge as possible, given its mass, was considered mathematically impossible. A new proof reveals otherwise.

It has been a billboard week for artificial intelligence research. But could big wins for Demis Hassabis and Geoffrey Hinton change broader scientific incentives?

What do the integers have in common with the symmetries of a triangle? In the 19th century, mathematicians invented groups as an answer to this question.

It seems crazy, but light actually exerts a physical force on objects. It could power a new generation of spacecraft for deep-space missions.

While devising a new quantum algorithm, four researchers accidentally established a hard limit on the “spooky” phenomenon.

The Advanced Research and Invention Agency—ARIA—is the UK's answer to Darpa. But can it put the country back on the scientific map?

The home DNA testing boom is over, and 23andMe is running out of options.

A Spanish biotech company sees the carbon material as a way to power the brain-computer interfaces of the future.

Neuralink rival Synchron is connecting its brain–computer interface with consumer technologies to allow people with paralysis more functionality.

Before the dear old model could even power down, Boston Dynamics unleashed a stronger new Atlas robot that can move in ways us puny humans never can.

Don't worry, your next surgeon will definitely be a human. But just as medical students are training to use a scalpel, they're also training to use robots designed to make surgeries easier.

Robots, computers, and algorithms are hunting for potential new therapies in ways humans can’t—by processing huge volumes of data and building previously unimagined molecules.

Actuators inspired by cucumber plants could make robots move more naturally in response to their environments, or be used for devices in inhospitable places.

The cerebellum is responsible for far more than coordinating movement. New techniques reveal that it is, in fact, a hub of sensory and emotional processing in the brain.

Afshin Mehin has helped design some of the most futuristic neurotech devices.

Every person has a different idea of what makes noise “loud,” but there are some things we all can do to turn the volume down a little.

If you've ever heard music, voices, or other sounds while trying to sleep with a white noise machine running, you're not losing your mind. Here's what's going on.
