TSMC Advanced Chip Capacity Is Booked Out Through 2028

Due to surging AI demand, TSMC advanced chip capacity is fully booked through 2028, creating opportunities for rivals like Samsung.

A new study showed that a powerful cholesterol-lowering medication can greatly reduce the risk of heart disease attacks in diabetes patients. The study was published in a major US medical journal on March 30, 2026.

Researchers found that this medication can reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events in diabetes patients for the first time by 31%. Study participants all had diabetes but did not have known cardiovascular disease.

Researchers said this finding may change approaches to heart disease prevention. High cholesterol is an important risk factor for heart disease, and controlling cholesterol is very important for protecting heart health. Medical experts stated that more patients using this type of medication may reduce large numbers of heart disease and stroke occurrences annually.
