Study reveals how gas bubbles shaped Kīlauea's 2018 lava flow

The lava that buried entire neighborhoods during the 2018 Kīlauea eruption was composed of nearly 80% gas bubbles near its source. A recent study shows that those bubbles played a central role in controlling how fast and far the lava traveled and that lava flow models need to acc

Popular weight-loss drugs Ozempic and Wegovy may slow biological aging

Researchers found that semaglutide, the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy, slowed biological aging markers in adults with HIV, marking the first clinical evidence that the drug may influence human aging. Although the findings are encouraging, scientists say larger studies a
