South Korean Troops Thought They Found a Landmine. It Was a 600-Year-Old Gun (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Since 1966, Geumseong Mountain has served as a strategic post for the South Korean military’s air defense forces. But in recent years, authorities have been removing landmines to reopen the premises for civilian hikers—a decision that’s led to a landmark discovery for military history In 2023, the ring of a landmine detector stopped Korean soldiers in their tracks. When they dug the ground to retrieve a landmine, however, they instead found a small firearm, at roughly 9 inches (23.8 centimeters)
Earth Tipped on Its Side During the Age of Dinosaurs—and Not Just Once (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Earth is definitely not flat, but it’s not perfectly spherical, either. Due to its constant rotation, our Earth is closer to a squashed elliptoid. What this also means is that occasionally, the geographic locations of Earth’s north and south poles will wander across the planet’s surface as the solid Earth slowly rotates relative to its spin axis, so it appears as if the Earth tips over on its side. And this phenomenon may have had a greater impact on our planet’s environment than scientists thou
Slow Earthquakes Sometimes Come Before Big Ones. The Sun and Moon May Be Setting Them Off (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The British Geological Survey says scientists have seriously contemplated the role of solar and lunar activity on earthquakes for over 100 years. But they weren’t able to find a compelling explanation for how exactly that occurred—until now. Turns out, scientists don’t need that complex of a design to see how tidal stresses—caused by the gravitational tug-of-war between the Moon and the Sun—affect Earth’s fault networks. In a study recently published in JGR Solid Earth, a team of geologists prim
Ancient Greeks Built a Harbor on Top of a Fault Line. It Didn't End Well (opens the original)
Read excerpt
According to Herodotus’ Histories, Battus of Thera (modern-day Santorini) colonized the inland city of Cyrene in 631 BCE, reportedly driven by prophetic revelations. In the following years, the Greek settlers built Apollonia, an artificial harbor for trade and military vessels—not realizing that their engineering achievement sat on top of an active fault network. In a recently published study in Libyan Studies, researchers describe a reassessment of the geomorphological, oceanographic, and archa
Nazi Germany Couldn't Have Built a Working Reactor, Let Alone a Bomb, Study Finds (opens the original)
Read excerpt
According to historians, the Manhattan Project began as a response to Nazi Germany’s perceived lead in nuclear technology. While their reactor never really took off, scholars are divided as to how close they got—and the answer may be that they weren’t at all close to criticality, a new study argues. In what they call “nuclear archaeology,” researchers conducted a literature review of historical documents on Uranprojekt—Nazi Germany’s nuclear program—and then devised a model to reproduce realisti
