People who stop using the weight-loss drug Mounjaro tend to regain lost weight and lose many of the accompanying health benefits, according to new research. Mounjaro, which contains tirzepatide, has helped users lose around 20% of their body weight in clinical studies. But previous research has shown that much of this weight often returns once treatment stops. A new analysis from the Surmount-4 clinical trial shows that improvements in blood pressure, blood glucose and levels of “bad” cholesterol also reverse after people discontinue the injections. Naveed Sattar, professor of cardiometabolic medicine at the University of Glasgow, said this outcome is…

Countries heavily dependent on fossil-fuel revenue, including Saudi Arabia and the UAE, opposed any target or timeline for phasing out fossil fuels. One day before the summit ended, the EU threatened…

Astronomers discovered Theia, the planet that helped form the Moon, likely formed closer to the Sun than Earth.For billions of years, scientists lacked direct chemical evidence to trace Theia’s origin.The giant impact theory proposes Theia collided with early Earth about 4.5 billion years ago.Debris from that collision coalesced into the Moon, incorporating material from both Earth and Theia.The theory has guided lunar science since Apollo astronauts returned the first rock samples.Researchers in France, Germany, and the United States analyzed ancient lunar and terrestrial rocks to identify Theia’s source.Jake Foster of the Royal Observatory Greenwich said the study almost precisely traces…

A Weekend Filled With Frustration Lewis Hamilton expresses strong disappointment after a tough race weekend in Las Vegas. The seven-time world champion starts last after a slow qualifying session. It is the first time in his 19-year career that he qualifies last purely on pace. He climbs into the points early, but he cannot pass Nico Hülkenberg’s Sauber.
