Neuroscientists from UC Berkeley, UCSF and Stanford ran parallel trials of psilocybin to see what behavioral effects were reproducible in mice. The findings challenge reported results and underscore the importance of reproducibility in psychedelic research and its potential therapeutic applications.

Most metals become brittle and crack in the cold, but new alloys from a team led by Berkeley Lab defy expectations: withstanding high heat and staying intact far below zero. In future, the materials could be used for extreme applications like jet engines and spacecraft. go.nature.com/4sBo1j3
