New historical research suggests that one of the most legendary cities in history did not start out as a conquering warrior state — poking a hole in its founding myth. The study, which centered around Sparta, was recently published by historian Hans Beck in The Annual of the British School at Athens, Cover Media reported. Sparta emerged in the 9th century B.C. and dominated much of the Peloponnese between roughly 700 and 371 B.C.ARCHAEOLOGISTS EXCAVATE ANCIENT WORKSHOP WITH UNFINISHED...

The Role of Source Geometry and Atmospheric Propagation in Global Bolide Infrasound Detectability

arXiv:2606.04278v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Global infrasound monitoring provides a persistent means of detecting energetic bolide atmospheric entries, complementing optical observations and extending coverage over remote regions. We present a global assessment of the physical factors governing bolide infrasound detectability by correlating 623 bolide events reported by the Center for Near-Earth Object Studies between 2007 and 2025 with waveform data from the International...

New buried-growth process enables 2D arrays of position- and orientation-controlled diamond qubits

New buried-growth process enables 2D arrays of position- and orientation-controlled diamond qubits Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Researchers at Kanazawa University, in collaboration with Diamond and Carbon Applications (Germany), have developed a buried-growth process for nitrogen–vacancy (NV) centers in diamond using microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD). By employing nitrogen-radical selective etching, which simultaneously enhances metal-mask...

After Nagorno-Karabakh, Armenians vote for peace over nationalism

After Nagorno-Karabakh, Armenians vote for peace over nationalism Nikol Pashinyan’s victory suggests Russia’s influence in the country is waning. At a campaign rally in Armenia’s capital, Yerevan, on Saturday, one day before Armenia’s election, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, outfitted in a white button-up shirt and a red-brimmed baseball cap, held a look of determination. Flanked by supporters waving their arms and flashing his campaign’s signature heart-shaped hand gesture, Pashinyan was...

How a Citizen Science Organization Aims to Preserve the Places It Brings Tourists to Study

Deep in the Peruvian Amazon, the Tamshiyacu Tahuayo Regional Conservation Area boasts enormous biodiversity—pink dolphins, rare monkeys, giant river otters, reptiles, and hundreds of birds and different types of plants. It’s also one of the most prominent examples of a government recognizing that environmental conservation doesn’t require keeping people out. That instead, it’s possible for humans to coexist with nature and help protect it.

Fine-scale landscape genomics show asymmetric patterns of gene flow for the invasive mosquito Aedes albopictus

Mosquito-borne viruses like dengue, Zika, and chikungunya pose increasing health risks in the United States due to the expanding range of Aedes albopictus, a highly invasive mosquito species that now has a global distribution. Aedes albopictus thrive in artificial containers associated with anthropogenic land use, allowing populations to reach high numbers in urban and suburban environments. While the global spread of Ae.
