Gyeongju Seokbinggo in Gyeongju, South Korea

A small protrusion resembling the surrounding burial tumuli protrudes from the ground in a quiet corner of Wolseong Fortress. However, this one in particular had a very different purpose. Seokbinggo literally means “stone ice storage.” It is effectively an icebox made of stone and was the secret behind Korea’s ability to have ice in the middle of summer during the 1700s. This was a storage room where ice blocks cut from frozen lakes and rivers were taken during the……

Mercur Cemetery in West Mercur, Utah

Located 25 minutes west of Tooele, Utah, is the site of a former booming mining town that was full of life and promise. A distant memory of the Old West, Mercur became one of Utah’s first mining districts in 1893. At one point, the town was home to well over 5,000 people. However, in 1902 a fire ravaged the town and it never recovered. By 1913, the last mine closed.  All that’s left are the memories of a town that……

NFL’s move to 17 games could alter...

The NFL could finally see its first 2,000-yard receiver. The 5,000-yard passing club might be ready to induct a few more members with Peyton Manning’s single-season record of 5,477 yards possibly in jeopardy. The accomplishment of 1,000-yard seasons rushing or receiving will become more common and a little more devalued. With the NFL increasing its season to 17 games for the first change in length of the season since going from 14 to 16 games in 1978, some records…

3 Questions: Emma Teng on anti-Asian American...

A string of murders and violent attacks against Asian Americans has jolted the U.S. over the last year. As shocking as these incidents are, they are not novel. Asian Americans and Asian immigrants have long had to contend with physical attacks and discrimination, something evident in the research of Emma Teng, the T.T. and Wei Fong Chao Professor of Asian Civilizations at MIT, and author of the 2013 book “Eurasian: Mixed Identities in the United States, China, and Hong……

Iowa’s Luka Garza named AP men’s college...

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Luka Garza knew what everyone expected before returning for a final run as Iowa’s unquestioned star. Pressure? Garza felt it, all right, enough to know his mental health required the same attention as his game. “I needed meditation to lean on, to be able to mainly just go out there and be myself and not worry about anything else,” Garza said. That best explains why the 6-foot-11, 265-pound senior is The Associated Press men’s college basketball…

Feast on These Recipes From America's National...

A visit to any one of the United States’ national parks will offer a feast for the senses, from the scent of wildflowers along the Great Smoky Mountains to the sound of a bird call bouncing off the walls of the Grand Canyon. But beyond postcard-perfect views and fresh air, the bounty of the land also lends itself to delicious food at restaurants inside the parks. Blackberries, which so plentifully grow in the Blue Ridge Mountains, star in Shenandoah……

The Colonial Tavern Dishing Up 18th-Century Vittles

In colonial America, a family might enjoy a Cheshire pork pie filled with pork tenderloin, apples, and spices. Another might enjoy a corncake, thanks to the maize long cultivated by Indigenous people. A wealthy family might indulge in a bird—but not just any bird, you see. A bird that had been plucked, cooked, and reassembled to sit in the center of the table. Dishes like these once appeared on the menu at King’s Arms Tavern, a “public house” that……

Why Researchers Dressed as Leopards to Scare...

It’s a tricky thing trying to pretend you’re a predator deep in the rainforest in northern Republic of the Congo. “It’s very humid, and sweat bees are all over you,” according to primatologist and conservation scientist Claudia Stephan. “Most of the time you see ahead for just a couple of meters due to dense vegetation,” she adds, via email from a remote site in the region’s Nouabelé-Ndoki National Park. The difficult work paid off, however. Using an ingenious, if……

A streamlined approach to determining thermal properties...

In a September 2020 essay in Nature Energy, three scientists posed several “grand challenges” — one of which was to find suitable materials for thermal energy storage devices that could be used in concert with solar energy systems. Fortuitously, Mingda Li — the Norman C. Rasmussen Assistant Professor of Nuclear Science and Engineering at MIT, who heads the department’s Quantum Matter Group — was already thinking along similar lines. In fact, Li and nine collaborators (from MIT, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory,……

As hot as the blockchain space appears to be these days, it’s still far from simple to get a decentralized application reliably up and running.
