Researchers propose that major continental transform earthquakes often begin on branch faults, which may act as “on-ramps” for larger fault ruptures. This hypothesis, if proven, could impact earthquake monitoring systems and preparedness. The five largest continental transform earthquakes since 2000 have all occurred on branches of the main fault, and two researchers predict that the...
Researchers at Tel Aviv University’s Sonia & Marco Nadler Institute of Archaeology have conducted the first quantified analysis of the Roman siege at Masada. Using advanced tools such as drones, remote sensing, and 3D digital modeling, their findings challenge the long-held belief that the Roman siege in 73 CE lasted...
The microscopic world within our food has long intrigued scientists. Complex microbiomes within what we eat influence our own gut ecosystems, yet the breadth of this microbial diversity remains largely unexplored. Recent advances in DNA sequencing technology have allowed researchers to unveil a vast and intricate “food microbiome,” revealing surprising...
New research published in PLOS One investigates why annual events like Christmas and Ramadan often feel like they come around more quickly each year. The study, which spanned participants in the United Kingdom and Iraq, found that the perception of time speeding up between such events is widespread and influenced...
