El Cóporo in San José del Torreón,...

May 5, 2021

The settlement at El Cóporo has all the vestiges of an old Mesoamerican city. It was formed by a series of villages around the hill where rock formations offered protection as natural walls. The city’s inhabitants likely cultivated a variety of crops that included corn, squash, tomatoes, beans, and chili. This pre-Hispanic settlement, which is distinguished by its 1,500-year-old architecture, consisting of rooms for ordinary people and a civic ceremonial center, is associated with the Tunal Grande culture.

| Entrepreneurship

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukee’s late-season schedule has given the Bucks plenty of opportunities to measure themselves against the two teams they’re chasing in the Eastern Conference standings. The results have been encouraging. Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 36 points and the Bucks used a fourth-quarter rally to beat the Brooklyn Nets for the second time in three days, winning 124-118 on Tuesday night. This mini-sweep comes less than two weeks after the Bucks won two straight games from East-leading Philadelphia. “I’m…

CINCINNATI (AP) — Dylan Cease pitched one-hit ball for six innings, struck out 11 and amazingly got three hits in his first pro plate appearances as the Chicago White Sox routed the Cincinnati Reds 9-0 Tuesday night. It was a historic night at the plate for Cease, who doubled and singled twice before getting pulled for a pinch-hitter. Cease is the first American League pitcher since Jarrod Washburn in 2001 to have a three-hit game. He is the first…

The Daunting Challenge of Saving Lebanon's Storied...

May 4, 2021

The course of Elias Maalouf’s life changed in 2005, when he saw Syrian soldiers burning the archives of Lebanon’s railway system in an abandoned train wagon. He dashed to the wagon and thrust his hands into the fire to save whatever he could. It was the beginning of a life’s work. Maalouf had gone to the train station in his hometown of Riyaq to film for a documentary the Syrian military’s withdrawal from its 29-year occupation of Lebanon. Maalouf’s……

Exploding Whale Memorial Park in Florence, Oregon

May 4, 2021

In an infamous 1970 news report, journalist Paul Linnman described a stinky situation: a sperm whale had washed ashore near Florence, Oregon. Measuring 45-feet long and weighing approximately eight tons, the decomposing whale presented a challenge for the city. Officials were left baffled by the predicament, unable to bury or burn the carcass. Their solution? Blow the thing up with dynamite. Unfortunately for the residents of Florence, the whale did not blow out to sea as planned, nor did……

Ways of seeing the world

May 4, 2021

Anjali Nambrath is about to graduate from MIT with a double major in physics and mathematics, but her big project this winter didn’t center on neutrinos, the subject of her undergraduate thesis.

She started the translation project during class 21M.716 (Play Translation and Cultural Transmission),……

How the 'Queen of Thieves' Conned French...

May 4, 2021

In the predawn hours of March 8, 1908, Nice’s famed Promenade des Anglais, bustling during the day, was quiet. So too were the corridors of the Hôtel Impérial nearby. Down one plush hallway, a woman in black moved noiselessly in felt-soled shoes, melting into the shadows. She wore a black veil that shrouded her features, and carried a set of silver lockpicks. After years of pursuit, French police were about to catch the so-called Comtesse de Monteil in the……

Nano flashlight enables new applications of light

May 4, 2021

In work that could someday turn cell phones into sensors capable of detecting viruses and other minuscule objects, MIT researchers have built a powerful nanoscale flashlight on a chip. Their approach to designing the tiny light beam on a chip could also be used to create a variety of other nano flashlights with different beam characteristics for different applications. Think of a wide spotlight versus a beam of light focused on a single point. For many decades, scientists have……
