1️⃣ Heat map: If you think this summer has been particularly brutal, you’re right. Hundreds of cities across the United States are experiencing scorching temperatures, and records are falling left and right. These are some of the hotspots.

2️⃣ Brain booster: Psilocybin, also known as magic mushrooms, bolsters the connections between self and memory and can open the mind to change, a new study found. Some psychedelics have shown promise in treating disorders such as depression and anxiety.

3️⃣ Lunar cave: Researchers have found the first direct evidence that the moon’s deepest known pit connects to a cave that could provide shelter to astronauts. The discovery could prove to be very helpful for future exploration of the harsh environment.

4️⃣ ‘Spray-on’ shoes: A Swiss sportswear company believes its robot-made sneakers can help runners competing at the Summer Olympics. The $330 shoes already have a pretty stellar track record — the women’s winner at this year’s Boston Marathon wore a pair.

5️⃣ Terrible tourist: Italian officials are trying to identify a young woman who was filmed kissing, humping and grinding against a statue of Bacchus, the God of wine and sensuality, in Florence over the weekend. She could be fined and banned from the city for life.
