๐Ÿ”ฌ Just Discovered: A Hidden Property of Light, Heart-Protecting Weight Loss Drugs & A 275-Million-Year-Old Creature With a Twisted Jaw

Episode Description from the Publisher

Scientists have uncovered a previously unknown property of light โ€” finding that it can twist and self-organize entirely on its own, challenging long-held assumptions about how light behaves. A massive new analysis of over 90,000 patients suggests GLP-1 weight-loss drugs like Ozempic may offer powerful, lasting protection against heart attacks, strokes, and early death. A 37-year soil warming experiment has delivered an alarming climate wake-up call, suggesting ancient carbon once thought permanently locked underground is now breaking down and releasing into the atmosphere. Paleontologists unearthed a 275-million-year-old creature with a jaw unlike anything alive today, belonging to a lineage that should have already been extinct. Rounding out the episode: NASA captures a Pacific tsunami from space in unprecedented detail, a natural molecule may block Alzheimer's protein clumps, and a newly named spider called Pikelinia floydmuraria hunts prey six times its own size.Subscribe to Peer Review'd Newsletter: https://peerreviewd.com/Love Science?
