AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoAI and Health: Stanford researchers used AI to identify BRP, a molecule that reduced appetite and fat in animal tests. It may avoid some side effects of Ozempic, but needs human trials. Solar Physics: India’s Aditya-L1 observatory found that solar eruptions expand unevenly, a discovery that could improve forecasts of space storms affecting satellites and communications. Wildlife: Tiny transmitters are helping researchers track monarch butterflies’ migration and find vital stopover sites. A separate study estimates at least 79,554 species are traded internationally, far more than previous estimates. Physics: A 24,000-atom experiment showed how entropy could track the order of events without a clock, offering a new way to investigate what time is. Fossils and Space: Researchers report strong evidence of red blood cells in 115-million-year-old dinosaur bone; a 4.1-billion-year-old Martian meteorite is also drawing attention for clues to the planet’s past. Conservation: In a three-year trial across 45 grassland sites, reducing mowing was linked to a 99% rise in insect and other invertebrate numbers.
