Summary

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has made an unprecedented discovery on interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, detecting something never before seen on an object from outside our solar system. Closer to home, a mystery that has haunted North Carolina blueberry farmers for decades has finally been cracked — and the culprit was hiding underground the whole time. Johns Hopkins researchers are upending over a century of scientific belief about how habits actually form in the brain, with major implications for behavioral therapy. Two major developments in cancer research suggest that tumors may be outsmarting themselves, and a vitamin D-based therapy is showing promise against one of the deadliest and hardest-to-treat cancers. GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic are revealing surprising effects far beyond weight loss, and a brand-new experimental pill fights obesity in a completely different way — without the muscle loss.
