How Australia plans to restrict social media for teens

The Australian government has proposed a ban on children under 16 from using social media. The ban is expected to apply to services including TikTok, X, Instagram and Snapchat, though a full list has not been released. The legislation follows several high-profile cases of children taking their own lives citing online bullying and complaints from parents about the pressure their children face to be online. Many parents and pro-ban campaigners have lauded the bill as a long-overdue measure to hold tech companies accountable for the tools Australian children use online. However, critics say the proposed ban is a blunt instrument that will reduce teens’ access to support networks and create greater risks for those who defy the ban. CNN's Hanako Montgomery has the report.

UCLA team breaks chemistry rules to create new path for drug development

University of California, Los Angeles scientists have turned organic chemistry on its head by disproving a rule that’s been around for 100 years. Neil Garg and his team at UCLA showed that some supposedly impossible molecules can actually be made, publishing their work in science. Garg is the Kenneth N. Trueblood Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry at UCLA.  Bredt’s rule, established in 1924, has long dictated that certain double bonds cannot exist at specific positions on organic molecules due to geometric constraints. This rule has limited chemists’ ability to design and synthesize certain compounds, particularly in drug discovery efforts.
