A randomized trial has found that weekly semaglutide injections — the active ingredient in weight loss jabs— result in a significant reduction in heavy drinking days, decreasing from an average of 17 to five per month, and a substantial drop in overall alcohol consumption in adults with alcohol use disorder and obesity.

Two new studies suggest offshore wind farms can expand without putting migratory birds at major risk. Over 18 months, researchers tracked more than four million bird movements using radar and AI cameras and found that more than 99.8% reliably avoided turbine blades, showing clean energy and wildlife protection can work together.

McGill University researchers found that treating peanuts with cold plasma — an ionized gas that alters protein structure — for just 25 minutes reduces allergic immune response by nearly 70%. The method preserves taste and nutrition and could be extended to eggs, hazelnuts, and other common allergens, opening the door to a wider range of safer foods.

New research from Leeds reveals that inclusive secondary schools effectively prevent students from becoming "NEET" (not in education, employment, or training). Prioritizing fewer suspensions and supporting lower-achieving pupils fosters a sense of belonging that encourages every young person to stay engaged and thrive beyond Year 11.
Inclusive Schools Successfully Reduce Student Dropout Rates
Using agrovoltaic systems and reduced irrigation, the approach lowers water use while maintaining efficient yields. Solar panels reduce evaporation by providing shade, and help plants cope with heat, allowing land to produce both food and clean energy at the same time.
