Thirty-four years after Cornell University scientists first conceived it, the Fred Young Submillimeter Telescope (FYST) now rises above the Atacama Desert, near the summit of Cerro Chajnantor in Chile. FYST will help answer some of the most important questions in astronomy, including how the universe works, the nature of dark energy and dark matter, how galaxies form and evolve and what happened in those mysterious first moments after the Big Bang.
Researchers from the Monash University School of Physics and Astronomy have flipped a long-held assumption in optics, showing that deliberately introducing controlled disorder into ultra-thin optical devices can dramatically increase their power and versatility, without making them bigger or more complex.
Say hello to the new resident of the San Diego Zoo, a baby Schmidt’s red-tailed guenon newborn monkey and its first-time parents. These playful primates are known for their vibrant colors, graceful leaps and cheeky charm. After spending time indoors to bond, the newborn and first-time parents Janga, 5, and Jack, 6, are now visible to guests at their Ituri Forest habitat on Hippo Trail. The word “guenon” comes from the French word for monkey. Native to western and central Africa, guenons are also expert foragers, using their cheek pouches to store extra food, sometimes as much as their stomachs can hold.

Roman painters commissioned at the end of the 1st century to decorate the walls of the Domus of Salvius in present-day Cartagena could hardly have imagined that their technical expertise would still attract attention twenty centuries later. Analysis of wall paintings from one of the house's rooms—among the best preserved in ancient Carthago Nova—shows that these craftsmen possessed a sophisticated understanding of the materials used to produce pigments, as well as the effects achieved through combining them. In particular, researchers identified an advanced "recipe" that enabled them to reduce costs while ensuring the durability of the paint. This method relied on a mixture of pigments, including one of the most valued minerals of the time: costly cinnabar, often referred to as "red gold."
