How does cancer know it’s cancer? At Jay Bradner’s lab, they found a molecule that might hold the answer, JQ1 — and instead of patenting JQ1, they published their findings and mailed samples to 40 other labs to work on

Chamber testing is most certainly nothing new for your average carrier — every one of the big boys here in the States already does something similar to this — but it’s not often that we’re given an inside look at what exactly happens within those elusive doors. During a recent Sprint campus walkthrough , we peeked into the carrier’s network development lab for a glimpse at what it takes to certify a phone for use on its network. Granted, the vast majority of Sprint’s testing is done elsewhere across the industry, and we were informed that the yellow dome shown above is actually a minty fresh model that includes “gel” within its borders, seemingly to produce a more realistic testing ground

Google Labs , that breeding ground for the wacky, sublime, and sometimes useful experiments that Mountain View’s scooter-loving employees are so fond of, is getting ready to “wind down.” The software giant announced today that the experimental forum for testing out potential features is being sidelined, in order for the company to focus on bigger picture ideas. Some of the more useful experimentation for properties like Calendar and Gmail will stick around, as will the Labs experiments that eventually made their way into the Android market. Google has promised to keep us all in the loop during the transition, so perhaps we can pick up a few secondhand test tubes for our own collections.

The best thing about Google is that its employees have all the time in the world-or at least, a Google-bestowed chunk of hours-to devote to various side projects. You might recognize some of these. Like, say, Gmail. More

Gmail Labs, the experimental Gmail playground in which every Google engineer can write a Gmail feature, sometimes retires features that aren’t used very much, and graduates commonly used features, turning them into regular Gmail features. Today, Gmail has retired five features and graduated six others ; over the next couple of days, you’ll see the retired features disappear from the Labs. I haven’t really used any of the retired features; if you’ve used any of them and are sorry to see them go, please share it in the comments

Here’s a nice surprise from Google’s Maps team: just like Gmail, Google Maps now also have the Labs feature (it’s the little green vial in the top right menu), which brings experimental new features for you to try out. Right now, you can try out nine new features (all disabled by default): Drag ‘n’ Zoom – lets you zoom in on a specific part of the map by drawing a box. Aerial Imagery – gives you rotatable, high-resolution overhead imagery, but it’s only available in certain areas
