MIT reopens chemistry lab after student’s toxic chemical claim

MIT has reopened its chemistry facility after a thorough cleanup process triggered by a graduate student who alleged they created the lethal substance dimethyl mercury. The unauthorized experiment led to an immediate shutdown of the building. Currently, the university is skeptical that the dangerous chemical was truly synthesized. While the student is still being monitored by medical professionals, early screenings have revealed no evidence of mercury poisoning.
