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 […]
70-Year-Old Chemotherapy Drug Reveals a Hidden Cancer Survival Mechanism

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 […]

Stacked Mummies Reveal 700 Years of Changing Burial Rituals in Ancient Egypt
The shift from placing mummies individually to stacking bodies in a Theban tomb shows how burial practices and their symbolic meanings changed over time. In tomb TT 209, an ancient Egyptian burial place in the Theban Necropolis opposite Luxor, four human mummies and a mummified dog were buried one above another. The dog rested directly […]
Hidden Toxic Metal Pollution Is Hitting Bumblebees Much Harder Than Honeybees
Bumblebees carried more heavy metals than honeybees sharing the same landscape, suggesting that pollution exposure can vary substantially between bee species. Bumblebees living beside honeybee colonies in Cambridgeshire brought back pollen with far higher levels of toxic metals. For most of the metals tested, concentrations were between two and seven times those in honeybee pollen, […]
