A new algorithm solves a blind spot that has challenged computer scientists since 1996, improving distance estimates for nearby points in massive networks. Navigation apps usually solve one route at a time, such as finding the fastest way from a hotel to an airport. Computer scientists face a far larger version of that challenge: calculating […]

Researchers Dismantled LSD Molecule by Molecule – What They Found Could Inspire New Medicines
Molecular autopsy reveals features linked to hallucinations and therapeutic benefits. LSD, a psychedelic drug being studied for its ability to help nerve cells grow and strengthen their connections, has a complicated molecular structure. Researchers at the University of California, Davis have pared that structure down, creating simpler compounds with reduced hallucinogenic and heart-toxic effects. One […]
70-Year-Old Chemotherapy Drug Reveals a Hidden Cancer Survival Mechanism
A 70-year-old leukemia drug has uncovered a hidden side of how cancer cells survive chemotherapy. For more than 70 years, 6-thioguanine (6-TG) has been used to treat leukemia, yet scientists are still uncovering what determines whether cancer cells are killed by the drug or survive it. New research suggests that part of the answer lies […]

Scientists Identify a Smartphone Habit That May Be Worse Than Screen Time
The most harmful smartphone habit may not be spending hours on a device, but repeatedly surrendering attention to an endless stream of content. Research from Semmelweis University suggests that problematic smartphone use is shaped less by personality alone than by weak self-control and a strong fear of missing out (FOMO). The findings also reveal a […]
Scientists Create Stronger Concrete That Absorbs CO2 From the Air
Concrete usually adds to the world’s carbon burden, but a new formula absorbed CO2 while becoming stronger than a conventional mix. Researchers at Mepco Schlenk Engineering College in India developed the concrete by combining two naturally derived materials: porous zeolite and bamboo biochar. Tests described in Carbon Research suggest the blend could give infrastructure a […]
