Wider access to weight-loss injections on the NHS could deliver significant economic gains by cutting sick days and easing the burden of obesity-related illness, new research suggests. A study of 421 NHS patients using the latest generation of obesity drugs found the number of sick days taken fell by a third within three months of starting treatment. Combined sick leave dropped from 517 days in the three months before starting the jabs to 334 days after three months of use, according to data from Oviva, the UK’s largest provider of weight-loss support services. After six months, 77 per cent of…

“LIGO is this huge thing that thousands of people have been thinking about deeply for 40 years,” said Aephraim Steinberg, an expert on quantum optics at the University of Toronto. “They’ve thought of everything they could have, and anything new [the AI] comes up with is a demonstration that it’s something thousands of people failed to do.”Although AI has not yet led to new discoveries in physics, it’s becoming a powerful tool across the field. Along with helping researchers to design experiments, it can find nontrivial patterns in complex data. For example, AI algorithms have gleaned symmetries of nature from…

Politics / August 15, 2025 Trump compels his followers to endorse obvious lies. It’s accelerating the country’s descent into authoritarianism. Ad Policy Military personnel chat on the National Mall in Washington, DC, on August 14, 2025.(Alex Wroblewski / AFP via Getty Images) It was 8 pm, humid, and I was by myself, across the street from where my kids went to elementary school, banging a large metal spoon against a pot. I was alone, because I had gotten the address wrong for a pots-and-pans demonstration against Donald Trump’s military occupation of Washington, DC. What I missed was a cacophonous community…

With help from artificial intelligence, MIT researchers have designed novel antibiotics that can combat two hard-to-treat infections: drug-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae and multi-drug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).Using generative AI algorithms, the research team designed more than 36 million possible compounds and computationally screened them for antimicrobial properties. The top candidates they discovered are structurally distinct from any existing antibiotics, and they appear to work by novel mechanisms that disrupt bacterial cell membranes.This approach allowed the researchers to generate and evaluate theoretical compounds that have never been seen before — a strategy that they now hope to apply to identify and design compounds with…

Meanwhile, although the show tried to rectify the lack of diversity in the original series with various characters and storylines, these also fell flat on their faces. Miranda exploring her queerness was fine; but for many viewers, her doing this with non-binary comedian partner Che Diaz (Sara Ramirez), was not, given how cringey they were, from their awful double-entendres peppering every conversation to their downright painful stand-up shows. The Daily Beast dubbed them the “worst character on TV”. While sassy real estate mogul Seema (Sarita Choudhury) was a good addition to the girl gang, viewers queried why another woman, Lisa…

I never imagined that a 150-year-old chocolate company could be brought to its knees by a few clicks on a computer. As the head of IT for Ganong Bros. — Canada’s longest-running family-owned candy manufacturer, established in 1873 — I’ve overseen everything from upgrading our aging inventory systems to keeping the Wi-Fi humming on our factory floor. But nothing prepared me for the morning of February 22, 2025, when a ransomware attack suddenly locked our systems. In that frantic moment, amid the aroma of cocoa and boiling sugar, I realized our sweet operation had turned into a cybersecurity nightmare. Discovery…
