Violent rocket particles could reshape future spacecraft design
Violent rocket particles could reshape future spacecraft design Stephanie Baum Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor When rockets fire into space, the insides of their engines become an extreme environment where temperatures soar and tiny particles are thrown around at hypersonic speeds. These particles behave in ways that break long-held assumptions, according to new research that could help improve the durability, safety and performance of future space and defense technologies. The...

This new diabetes pill burns fat without the downsides of Ozempic - Date: - June 3, 2026 - Source: - Karolinska Institutet - Summary: - Scientists have developed an experimental diabetes and obesity pill that works in a completely different way from drugs like Ozempic. Rather than reducing hunger, it activates metabolism in skeletal muscle, helping lower blood sugar and increase fat burning while preserving muscle mass. Early clinical results suggest the treatment is safe and well tolerated.
