“I was flooring the data”: Psilocybin shows anti-aging properties in early studies
Psilocybin, the main psychoactive ingredient in magical mushrooms, extends the lifespan of human cells, laboratory studies suggest. Researchers also found that psychedelic compounds slow certain features of aging in older mice while improving fur quality. The findings published July 8th in Journal NPJ Aging provide the first experimental evidence of the potential anti-aging properties of […]

Scientists have detected the most huge black hole merger ever – and it produced 225 times more monsters like the sun
Scientists could detect the largest known black hole merger to date, a massive collision from two massive space-time ruptures swirling with each other – and hold evidence for the most elusive type of black hole in the universe. The merger that took place outside our Milky Way galaxy produced about 225 times more black holes […]
100 undiscovered galaxies may orbit the Milky Way, and tips for supercomputer simulations
The Milky Way could be surrounded by dozens of undetected satellite galaxies, scientists argue. Cosmosologists are using the new mathematical model using the highest decomposition simulation of dark matter from Galaxy, an invisible entity that shapes the massive structure of the universe, as cosmologists predict that over 100 additional satellite galaxies may be swirling around […]
Grand Canyon Dragon Wildfire burns historic lodges and causes toxic gas leaks
Wildfires lit the northern edge of the Grand Canyon, burning the Grand Canyon Lodge and other historic cabins. Firefighters were managing the Dragon Bravo Fire, which was launched by a lightning strike, according to Inciweb, the website of the US government’s Incident Information Management System. The fire then showed “extremely volatile” behavior on Saturday (July […]
Japan has set a new internet speed record of 125,000 gigabytes per second.
Japanese researchers say they set a new world record with the fastest internet speeds, sending over 1,120 miles (1,802 kilometers) of data per second. This is about 4 million times the average internet speed in the US, and according to some rough estimates, you can download the entire internet archive within 4 minutes. This is […]

Can your brain run out of memory?
Can you run out of all your phone’s storage or maximize your computer’s drive, but can you run out of all your brain’s memory space? Despite feelings after a sleepless night before exams and before work deadlines, neuroscientists say that memory abilities are not fixed or easily exhausted for the typical, healthy brain. Elizabeth Kensinger, […]
Can Mars’s signs of life be hidden in a thick layer of clay?
The thick, mineral-rich clay layers found on Mars suggest that the red planet had a potentially life-rich environment in the ancient past due to long stretches, new research suggests. Clay requires liquid water to form. These layers are several hundred feet thick, and are thought to have been formed about 3.7 billion years ago under […]
