Researchers have unveiled a high-resolution 3D map of a bacteria-killing virus that could revolutionize the fight against antibiotic-resistant superbugs, while GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic are showing surprising potential as treatments for addiction on top of their already expanding medical uses. NASA's DART mission has delivered an unexpected revelation: sunlight alone can cause asteroids to shed material onto neighboring space rocks, proving these near-Earth objects are far more dynamic than scientists ever imagined.
