On your first visit to Chanute, Kansas, you may be forgiven for thinking that it is a cradle of aviation. How else would you explain the biplane sculpture visible from Main Street? This plane and the surrounding park honors Octave Chanute, the town’s namesake, for his achievements in flight and his mentorship of the Wright Brothers. The only catch? He only briefly visited the town, and it was named for him before he began working on aeronautic exploits in……
Although described as a funicular, this historic railroad that runs from the old town of Genoa, Italy, to the village of Granarolo, way up in the hills, is technically based on an entirely different principle. Rather than using a cable and the mass balance of two cars to traverse the steep track, the electrically powered railcars use a simple rack and pinion system down the center of the track to drive the cars up and down. Originally built around……
A monument to a reformer martyred under the reign of Bloody Mary sits outside of Coleman Hall on the campus of Babson College. Born in 1505 in Birmingham, England, John Rogers studied the Bible, met William Tyndale, and left the Catholic faith to translate one of the first English bibles at the time. He continued to preach against “pestilent Popery, idolatry and superstition,” and was eventually sentenced to death at the stake in 1555 for denouncing the Catholic church—the……
Trendlines don’t lie. As this chart shows, in warmer countries, people eat spicier food. Conversely, the colder the climate, the fewer spicy ingredients in your cuisine. There are of course outliers and other exceptions (and we’ll get to those). But the three-pepper question is: Why do dishes in hotter climates use more spices? That’s the topic of an article published in Nature in February 2021. By examining 33,750 recipes from 70 national and regional cuisines containing a total of……

Located in one of the oldest continuously occupied cities in the United States is the González–Álvarez House—though it may be better known as the Oldest House. Built around 1723 by Spanish colonial settlers, it is believed to be the oldest surviving house in St. Augustine, Florida. The home is well-preserved and packed with information for visitors.

For nearly 200 years, Nova Scotia’s Parrsborough Shore was a prominent shipbuilding center. Tall ships, fishing boats, pleasure yachts—all kinds of boats were built in this area. Though the region’s shipbuilding days have largely passed, their memory is preserved at the Age of Sail Museum. This community-owned and operated museum complex sits on the site of an old shipyard and the main building is a historical old church. There are seven display buildings including a historical lighthouse, as well as……
Nestled in the heart of Sion, Switzerland, the Sorcerers’ Tower (“Tour des Sorciers”) is a somber reminder of a bygone era. Originally a part of the city’s fortified wall dating back to the 14th century, this enigmatic tower has witnessed centuries of history and holds within its walls tales of intrigue and anguish. The tower’s name itself hints at its ominous past. While it never housed actual sorcerers, in the 16th century, it underwent a grim transformation into a……
We might not be the only primates to display helpful behavior toward members of a different social group, a new study suggests
In the mid-1800s, the seaport fishing village of Eyemouth experienced a calamity. Over the course of several weeks, this small community would see its population of around 1,300 shrink by 10 percent. This was mostly caused by unsanitary living conditions and no access to clean portable water. This deadly incursion occurred in the same year as the Eyemouth Disaster. With so many bodies to be buried over such a short period, the devastated community thought it would be prudent to……
“There’s so much work ahead of us and so many obstacles in the way,” said Raisa Lee, director of project development with Clearway Energy Group, an independent clean power producer. But, added Lee, “It’s most important to focus on finding spaces and people so we can foster growth and support each other — the power of belonging!” These sentiments captured the spirit of the 12th annual Women in Clean Energy Education and Empowerment (C3E) Symposium and Awards, held recently……

In the province of Zeeland in the southwest of the Netherlands, in a quiet town in the middle of nowhere, there’s a peculiar little family-run botanical garden. The garden is built on a historic piece of land, where you can still find an original piece of the medieval church of Saint Michael. The church was badly damaged in 1566 by the iconoclasm during the Dutch Reformation, and left totally in ruin after the Eighty Years’ War of 1572. At……
