Image by Getty / FuturismDevelopmentsShares of Novo Nordisk, the Danish pharmaceutical company behind the groundbreaking GLP-1 weight loss drugs Ozempic and Wegovy, have been absolutely plummeting.The company's stock price slid over eight percent on Thursday, after its main competitor in the space, US-based pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly, announced promising Phase 3 trial results for its GLP-1 pill orforglipron, which is being marketed under its brand name CagriSema.According to the results, the once-a-day pill improved blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes patients while helping them to lose weight, showing very similar benefits to injectable GLP-1 drugs — except in a convenient pill form instead of a shot.The timing couldn't be worse for Novo Nordisk. The company's shares are down roughly 34 percent so far this year following major supply line disruptions pushing physicians to prescribe Eli Lilly's tirzepatide-based injection drugs Zepbound and Mounjaro instead. Over the past six months, its once-ascendant stock value is down a grim 50 percent.While Novo Nordisk is getting thrashed, Eli Lilly shares shot up by 14 percent in light of the latest news.As STAT points out, Novo Nordisk doesn't have any comparable small-molecule drug to Eli Lilly's orforglipron. Its own injectable peptide, semaglutide, which is the active ingredient in both Ozempic and Wegovy, is also difficult to manufacture, suggesting Eli Lilly may have a competitive edge.Eli Lilly's Phase 3 trial results are an early indication of the emergence of a next generation of obesity drugs. The company found that participants lost an average of 16 pounds over 40 weeks, compared to a placebo group.Side effects included mild to moderate gastrointestinal issues. Not everybody was so lucky; the development of a weight loss pill by COVID-19 vaccine maker Pfizer was scrapped earlier this week after a participant reported a liver injury during a clinical trial.Eli Lilly's "promising" results could hint at the pill being a viable alternative to Novo's Ozempic and even the company's own drugs Zepbound and Mounjaro — but it's still too early to draw any definitive conclusions or declare winners just yet.Next, the company is planning to submit data from its latest trials to the FDA by the end of the year for weight loss management and for treating type 2 diabetes in early 2026.But considering the major market moves this week, investors have seen enough, embracing Eli Lilly as having taken the lead in the hotly contested obesity drug market.Whether their call will turn out to be the right one in the long term? Well, if there's one thing we've come to expect in this space, it's a series of radical shakeups.More on obesity drugs: The Diet Industry Is Reportedly in Total Meltdown Over GLP-1 Weight Loss DrugsShare This Article

Hints and answers for the NYT Connections: Sports Edition puzzle, No. 208, for April 19.

April 18, 20254 min readThis Impossible New Color Is So Rare That Only Five People Have Seen ItResearchers discover a new color outside the range of human color vision, but you have to laser your retinas to see itBy Jacek Krywko edited by Allison ParshallTeal is as close as you can get to seeing the new color without having your eyes lasered. Getty ImagesThere are only so many colors that the typical human eye can see; estimates put the number just below 10 million. But now, for the first time, scientists say they’ve broken out of that familiar spectrum and into a new world of color. In a paper published on Friday in Science Advances, researchers detail how they used a precise laser setup to stimulate the retinas of five participants, making them the first humans to see a color beyond our visual range: an impossibly saturated bluish green.Our retinas contain three types of cone cells, photoreceptors that detect the wavelengths of light. S cones pick up relatively short wavelengths, which we see as blue. M cones react to medium wavelengths, which we see as green. And L cones are triggered by long wavelengths, which we see as red. These red, green and blue signals travel to the brain, where they’re combined into the full-color vision we experience.But these three cone types handle overlapping ranges of light: the light that activates M cones will also activate either S cones or L cones. “There’s no light in the world that can activate only the M cone cells because, if they are being activated, for sure one or both other types get activated as well,” says Ren Ng, a professor of electrical engineering and computer science at the University of California, Berkeley.On supporting science journalismIf you're enjoying this article, consider supporting our award-winning journalism by subscribing. By purchasing a subscription you are helping to ensure the future of impactful stories about the discoveries and ideas shaping our world today.Ng and his research team wanted to try getting around that fundamental limitation, so they developed a technicolor technique they call “Oz.”“The name comes from the Wizard of Oz, where there’s a journey to the Emerald City, where things look the most dazzling green you’ve ever seen,” Ng explains. On their own expedition, the researchers used lasers to precisely deliver tiny doses of light to select cone cells in the human eye. First, they mapped a portion of the retina to identify each cone cell as either an S, M or L cone. Then, using the laser, they delivered light only to M cone cells.It wasn’t exactly a comfortable setup. “This is not a consumer-oriented device, right? This was a basic visual science and neuroscience project,” Ng says. In fact, the researchers experimented on themselves: three of the five participants were co-authors of the study. The two others were colleagues from the University of Washington, who were unaware of the purpose of the research.Ng himself was one of the participants. He entered a darkened lab and sat at a table. “There were lasers, mirrors, deformable mirrors, modulators, light detectors,” Ng says. There, he had to bite down hard on a bar to keep his head and eyes still. As the laser shone into his retina, he perceived a tiny square of light, roughly the size of a thumbnail viewed at arm’s distance. In that square, he glimpsed the Emerald City: a color the researchers have named “olo.”Ripley CleghornWhat, exactly, did olo look like? Ng describes it as “blue-green with unprecedented saturation”—a perception the human brain conjured up in response to a signal it had never before received from the eye. The closest thing to olo that can be displayed on a computer screen is teal, or the color represented by the hexadecimal code #00ffcc, Ng says. If you want to try envisioning olo, take that teal as the starting point: Imagine that you are adjusting the latter on a computer. You keep the hue itself steady but gradually increase the saturation. At some point, you reach a limit of what your screen can show you. You keep increasing the saturation past what you can find in the natural world until you reach the limit of saturation perceptible by humans—resulting in what you’d see from a laser pointer that emitted almost entirely teal light. Olo lies even further than that.To check if what the participants saw as olo really was a color beyond humans’ standard visual range, the researchers completed color-matching experiments in which they could compare olo with a teal laser and adjust the color’s saturation by adding or subtracting white light. All participants found that if they added white light to olo, desaturating it, the new color would match the laser, confirming that olo lies beyond the normal human range of color vision.“It’s a fascinating study, a truly groundbreaking advance in the ability to understand the photoreceptor mechanisms underlying color vision. The technical demands necessary to achieve this are enormous,” says Manuel Spitschan, who studies light’s effects on human behavior at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics in Tübingen, Germany, and the Technical University of Munich and was not involved in the new study. “An open question, is how this advance can be used.”Ng’s team dreams of one day building screens that can scan your retina to display perfect images and videos by delivering light to individual cones—enabling crisp, nonpixelated visuals in impossible colors. “That’s going to be extremely hard to do, but I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility,” Ng says. More immediately, he speculates, Oz could be used to let congenitally color-blind patients experience colors such as green and red for the first time—but this wouldn’t be an actual treatment. “The Oz experience is transient,” Ng says. “It’s not permanent.”“It’s a technical breakthrough, and I would love to have it in my lab,” says Maarten Kamermans, who studies vision and the retina at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience and was not involved in the new study. “Think of animal research. We could impose animal types of photoreceptors on human subjects to say, ‘Oh, this is really what a dog would see, what a mouse would see, what a goldfish would see,’” he says. “Now this would be interesting”.

When the warmer months finally arrive, the opportunity to extend your living space outdoors does too. The best outdoor solar lights achieve just that. And no shade to daylight activities—after all, who doesn’t appreciate a bright lawn or a glittering pool—but comfortable nights under the stars can be particularly magical. From bonfires and movies to al fresco dinners and game nights, we think the real fun starts after sunset this hosting season. All you need is the right setup.One of the most important details to consider is how to illuminate your space strategically, so that it’s possible to create a mood without crushing your budget. With these needs in mind, solar lights may be your best bet.“When it comes to yardscapes, solar-powered lighting is ideal because I can achieve a beautifully-lit ambiance but with a lot less hassle,” says designer Galey Alix of Galey Alix Design. “Solar-powered lighting means I'm not increasing anyone's electric bill nor do I have to bury hardwired lines around their property, which can get messy. It also means easier long-term upkeep because lines are never accidentally getting cut, and if the power is out, the landscape lighting, pathways, and driveway still remain lit.”Miami-based interior designer Ania Agárdy is in agreement with Alix, and adds that solar-powered lighting can even inspire more creativity. “It allows for more flexibility in placement and layout,” she notes. If you’re planning on maximizing your outdoor space this spring and summer, and you want to do so stylishly and sustainably, read on for the best solar lights to install, according to the pros.The Best Solar Lights to Use in Your HomeWhether you’re looking to create a more modern or traditional feel, these solar lights are a bright idea. Read on to get the designers’ top picks.Alexia Solar Path Light“This is one of my go-tos for pathways,” says Sasha Basso, designer at Capiz Studio. “They’re modern and streamlined—perfect for walkways.”Renel Outdoor Solar String Light by Alder & Ore“I like pairing the Alexia Solar Path Light with these outdoor string lights,” Basso notes. “They’re classic, easy, and always a crowd-pleaser. Who doesn’t love a string light? I love them strung across a courtyard or patio for a romantic feel.” You could also take a cue from the backyard of this Nick Olsen-designed Brooklyn Brownstone from AD’s archives and string them across a fence to create a surrounded light path.LUHLEE Solar Outdoor Wall Lights (Set of 4)These square solar lights remind us of the ones we saw affixed to the rafters in this Manhattan penthouse’s outdoor dining area. They’re a great source of downward lighting when installed in a higher position or can even create dramatic shadows like the ones Agárdy mentioned by installing them right onto any wall or fence.AllModern Floor Solar Light (Set of 2)Here’s a pair of modern floor lamps to set the mood. The cut-out design creates an interesting lighting scheme that will add some flair whether they’re surrounding an outdoor dining table or your conversation pit.Breck + Fox Solar Waterproof Globe Light“I love these globes because it's impossible to tell they are solar, they have an incredible glow at night, and they add a unique design element. These are more than just lights, they are art,” Alix says. “They look best on hardscapes, but would also be gorgeous in a graveled area with seating inside of a garden.”Decorative Lamps by Solar Light Depot“This option looks just like hard-wired lights, but without the hassle of breaking open your exterior walls to run new electrical,” Alix says. “Trying to install exterior hardwired lighting where there is no existing electrical is extremely expensive and also messy. These are a clean install and you get a beautiful lighting pattern on your exterior wall. I would use these on a fence around a yard just as quickly as I'd use them on the side of a house, so they can function in many areas of your exterior!”AllModern Sanders Outdoor Solar Wall Sconce Lantern“This option looks just like hard-wired lights, but without the hassle of breaking open your exterior walls to run new electrical,” Alix says. “Trying to install exterior hardwired lighting where there is no existing electrical is extremely expensive and also messy. These are a clean install and you get a beautiful lighting pattern on your exterior wall. I would use these on a fence around a yard just as quickly as I'd use them on the side of a house, so they can function in many areas of your exterior!”Where to Install Solar Lights for the Best ResultsBy carefully mapping out your space, outdoor solar lights can make your yard or garden feel as comfortable as your indoor living areas. When surveying your exterior’s square-footage, note any pathways that may benefit from better lighting. “Solar lights for lining walkways or driveways are fabulous for design and utility,” Agárdy says. “I use warm white tones for a cozy feel or cool white for a modern look, and space them evenly for symmetry. My color of choice is matte black for a sleek architectural effect and easy maintenance.”Aside from pathways, you can also use solar lighting to improve the appearance of your landscaping and exterior walls. “You can angle them upward for dramatic shadows or use multiple smaller lights for more dimension,” Agárdy notes. “Solar wall sconces are my secret weapon to create a very curated ‘designer touch,’ but be sure to choose ones that complement your architectural style.” As long as your solar lights can get a consistent charge over the course of the day, where you decide to place them can make your outdoor space feel like the best hangout spot in your home after dark.

A complete list of all the known layoffs in tech, from Big Tech to startups, broken down by month throughout 2024.

One of five houses built by developer Albert Jewell along Powell Street in the Cottage Farm neighborhood of Brookline, this residence stands out for its materiality and stately design. The house was designed by J. Williams Beal, an architect who trained at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and then worked for McKim, Mead & White before opening his own business. The house was first purchased from Mr. Jewell by Grace and Edwin Kramer, who worked as superintendent for R. H. White & Co., the large dry goods store in Boston. The next long-term owner was Harry B. Duane, a wealthy grocer. The Kramer-Duane House is unique for the stone veneer at its facade, gambrel roof covered in slate, and varied window styles including: bay windows, dormer windows, and an eyebrow dormer window at the roof.

The iPad Pro is Apple's most premium tablet in its iPad lineup, above the iPad 10th Gen and newest iPad Air models. An iPad Pro case is necessary to safeguard your expensive tech purchase. Our team has rigorously tested the best iPad Pro cases on the market for factors like versatility, aesthetics, and durability to help you make an informed decision. From cases with robust drop protection to those with built-in trackpads, there's something to suit everyone's unique needs. What's the best iPad Pro case right now? Our top pick for the best iPad Pro case is the Zugu 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro case thanks to its multiple stand configurations, good protection and security, fair price, durability, and great warranty. New 11-inch and 13-inch Zugu cases are also available for the 2024 iPad Pro models. There's a plethora of iPad cases to choose from, and we've rounded up our other top picks for you to consider. The best iPad Pro cases offer added features like stylus holders and more based on our hands-on testing, expert research, and extensive knowledge of the iPad line.  Sort by All The best iPad Pro cases of 2025 Show less Let me start by saying the Zugu iPad case is truly a solid case, and I really like it. It features an adjustable stand with eight configurations, a bumper and rugged shell for added drop protection, a stylus pocket, wireless charging capabilities, and more. Plus, Zugu has cases available for preorder for the new M4 iPad Pro models. I tested this Zugu case on my iPad Air for the past few weeks along with several other cases, it's my favorite. It's extremely functional but still practical, providing true security from bumps and drops -- not just operating as a light cover. I loved using it as a stand, especially while testing several note-taking apps this month. The material feels premium and expensive with a clean, appealing design. And while the functionality is top-notch, my favorite thing about the Zugu case is the color. I've been using the case in the Desert Rose color, and as a true Gen-Z corporate girl, I love it. Many companies don't cater to colors outside of black, white, tan, and brown, so the unique color choices are awesome, but I still wish there were more fun prints and designs. The new iPad Pro model cases also have limited colors for now, but I expect to see more soon.Current customers on the Zugu website said they like the overall protection, functionality, quality, and aesthetic of the Zugu case. Many said the case is a great value and has a premium feel, and one customer even said they wished they'd found Zugu sooner. What's even better is that Zugu will pay a one-time AppleCare+ repair fee if your iPad is damaged while in a Zugu case. The Zugu case is well worth the money in my opinion, and it's a solid all-around case for style and protection.Zugu iPad Pro Case features: Adjustable stand with eight angles | Bumper and rugged shell for drop protection | Air flow vents | Secure magnetic mount capability | Microfiber interior | Auto sleep/wake magnetic cover | Stylus pocket on back | Wireless Apple Pencil charging compatibility | Free AppleCare+ Repair Fee Pros Adjustable stand Bumper and rugged shell Magnetic mounting capability Front cover Stylus holder Wireless charging for Apple Pencil Great color options Under $100 Cons No fun patterns or prints A bit bulkier Rugged design Let me start by saying the Zugu iPad case is truly a solid case, and I really like it.

I loved using it as a stand, especially while testing several note-taking apps this month. The material feels premium and expensive with a clean, appealing design. And while the functionality is top-notch, my favorite thing about the Zugu case is the color. I've been using the case in the Desert Rose color, and as a true Gen-Z corporate girl, I love it. Many companies don't cater to colors outside of black, white, tan, and brown, so the unique color choices are awesome, but I still wish there were more fun prints and designs. The new iPad Pro model cases also have limited colors for now, but I expect to see more soon.Current customers on the Zugu website said they like the overall protection, functionality, quality, and aesthetic of the Zugu case. Many said the case is a great value and has a premium feel, and one customer even said they wished they'd found Zugu sooner. What's even better is that Zugu will pay a one-time AppleCare+ repair fee if your iPad is damaged while in a Zugu case. The Zugu case is well worth the money in my opinion, and it's a solid all-around case for style and protection.Zugu iPad Pro Case features: Adjustable stand with eight angles | Bumper and rugged shell for drop protection | Air flow vents | Secure magnetic mount capability | Microfiber interior | Auto sleep/wake magnetic cover | Stylus pocket on back | Wireless Apple Pencil charging compatibility | Free AppleCare+ Repair Fee Read More Show Expert Take Show less Show less View now at Us.burga Burga's folio case for the iPad Pro combines style and function. It features a spot for stylus storage and Apple Pencil charging, has a hard shell backing and a soft close folio front, can be used as stand for your iPad, features shock absorption and a raised bezel design, and is overall sleek in profile. When I tested the Burga case on the iPad Air the last few weeks, I liked its light weight, handy Apple Pencil storage, folio style cover, stand configuration, and numerous prints and designs. It's a great basic case to protect from everyday bumps and scratches, but I recommend bumping up to something more secure such as an Otterbox or even the Zugu case if you're accident-prone or are rougher around the edges when it comes to your tech. I also wish the stand options on the case were a bit more comfortable for viewing, though it's a nice add to have the option to prop up my iPad up at all while watching a show or video. For the $60 price tag though, I think this a great buy for the features you are getting, especially considering a similar folio case from Apple is now around $80 and ones at Casetify start at $92. Current customers on the Burga website said they like the overall value of the case, with emphasis on the case's design, build, and and quality.
