But a more complex answer also answers *why* gold atoms are so unreactive. Some of it is due to special relativity, and some is due to a phenomenon called reconstruction.

- Description
- In February 1959, nine Soviet cross-country skiers died on a mountainside under mysterious circumstances. Theories about the Dyatlov Pass incident quickly spiraled into conspiracy, and have captured global attention for 65 years. But much of the mystery surrounding the events at Dyatlov Pass comes down to just how little we know about snow. Snow’s material properties and the ways it moves have kept physicists frustrated for decades. It wasn’t until 2021 that a physics simulation, heavily inspired by Disney’s movie Frozen, unlocked a new way to study snow and avalanche dynamics. And, coincidentally, finally provided plausible clues about the skiers’ final tragic night in the brutally freezing cold.

“Where and when did people build the first city?” sounds like a simple enough question. But archaeologists have been arguing about it for more than 70 years. Lots of people came up with the idea of cities, but for all kinds of reasons, they didn’t necessarily pull it off. Today, we’re going to explore the idea of why cities fail, and why living communally in cities isn’t inevitable for humans.

Centered just over the tip of India, and spanning more than 15,000 kilometers in diameter, is Earth's deepest gravity hole. Yes, that is a real term, and no, scientists don't know why it exists. Nor do they know why the Ross Sea near Antarctica has one. But if you traveled to either, you'd feel just a tiny bit lighter.

So you want to make the perfect red pigment—something vibrant, something that won't fade, and something that isn't toxic. Good luck, because scientists are still working that out. But in their search, some are taking the whole "pigment" part out of the challenge, by turning to structural color instead.
