It’s not just good manners to wait your turn — it’s actually down to evolution, according to new research. What’s more, this behavior can be simulated using a simple computer algorithm and basic genetic laws.
A new way to ‘turn off the taps’ in the brain and stop a chemical being released in excess amounts — which can lead to Parkinson’s Disease — has been developed.

The restoration of a 2,000-year-old bronze sculpture of the famed ancient Greek athlete Apoxyomenos may help modern scientists understand how to prevent metal corrosion, discover the safest ways to permanently store nuclear waste, and understand other perplexing problems.
Iron supplements do not increase the likelihood of contracting malaria and should not be withheld from children at risk of the disease, despite World Health Organization guidelines to the contrary, a new review suggests.
Chemists have developed a method to use small organic molecules as catalysts, in the synthesis process called organocatalysis. Such synthesis process takes place during the production of chiral drugs.

Bisphenol A, a chemical widely used in plastics and known to cause reproductive problems in the offspring of pregnant mice exposed to it, also has been found to retard the growth of follicles of adult mice and hinder their production of steroid hormones, researchers report. Their study is the first to show that chronic exposure [...]
Scientists are reporting for the first time that the use of weed killers in farmers’ fields boosts the nutritional value of an important food a crop. Application of two common herbicides to several varieties of sweet corn significantly increased the amount of key nutrients termed carotenoids in the corn kernels, according to a new study.
