Melting Norwegian Ice Exposes 6,000-Year-Old Mountain Artefacts
Norway's retreating mountain ice has exposed 48 prehistoric arrows and other artefacts dating from more than 6,000 to about 1,800 years ago, forcing archaeologists to reassess how people used high-elevation landscapes.
Resharpened Clovis Points Track Early Adaptation in Tennessee
An analysis of 489 Clovis and Cumberland projectile points from the Tennessee River Valley shows how early hunter-gatherers changed their use of stone as they learned the landscape
Maya Frog Pendants Map Late Classic Exchange Networks
Fourteen small zoomorphic shell pendants recovered during Maya Train salvage excavations in Campeche and Yucatán may illuminate craft production, funerary practice and the movement of marine materials, although no independent chemical provenance study or later official assessment has yet been documented.
Silicon Nitride Cavity Shrinks Critical Optics for Quantum Hardware
Infleqtion, Honeywell Aerospace and UC Santa Barbara have built a silicon-nitride optical-cavity prototype intended to reduce the size of laser-stabilization hardware, although its field performance and quantitative advantage over bulk optics have not yet been reported.
