    Did the ancient Greeks believe in their myths?

    for impiety. There are many modern retellings, so it has also become a trend. Why is Greek mythology still so popular today? Bremmer : Greek mythology is considered as part of a “good education”, especially in the tradition of the German Bildungsbürgertum . But it strikes me that especially in the last 10 years or so, Greek mythology has become very popular again. There are many modern retellings, so it has also become a trend. The reason for their popularity might be that ...

    Diversity Strengthens Research

    innovation. Interestingly, women tend to be more represented in physics in countries where research careers are less well funded or less prestigious. In countries like Austria, where being a scientist is seen as a high-status, well-paid career, women are less represented. So the data suggests that gender participation is also shaped by social narratives about prestige, value, and which jobs are considered desirable. Ms Angelo, you noted that International Women’s Day is ...

    Donald Trump’s Religious Base: The Role of Evangelicals in U.S. Politics

    he truly believes these things, but if we support him, we’ll get what we want. And, Trump delivered on many of those things in his first term. In that sense, it was a sophisticated transactional decision made by many voters. Christian nationalism What factors are driving the enormous rise in Christian nationalism in the United States? Bunnell: There’s been excellent academic work on this recently. In my own research, I argue that what we now call Christian nationalism was ...

    OeAW. In a joint effort, they will study the nanoparticles in a high vacuum, its center-of-mass motion cooled down to near absolute zero and levitating in a combination of optical, electric, and magnetic fields. “With this project, we are pushing the limits of what is technically feasible today”, adds Romero-Isart. Since 2012, the European Research Council (ERC) has been using Synergy Grants to support research projects in which researchers join different expertise to ...

    Economic uncertainty causes drop in birth rates

    their first child is increasing. That means that fewer women than in the past have children in their most fertile phase, but also that some of the planned births are not occurring today, but are being perpetually shifted into the future – tomorrow, next year, or later. In some countries such as Spain, Italy, Switzerland and Ireland, women are on average over 30 years old when they give birth to their first child. By comparison, the average age in Austria is only slightly ...

Forstner-Müller: Day-to-day work is far less adventurous than what one might imagine from the Indiana Jones films. I spend about a third of the year on excavations — for example, in Tell el-Dab’a or Kom Ombo, where we are currently working. The rest of the time is spent on scientific analysis, publications, ...

    Einstein saves the quantum cat

    the publication and is now working at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics: "Gravity is usually studied on astronomical scales, but it seems that it also alters the quantum nature of the smallest particles on Earth". "It remains to be seen what the results imply on cosmological scales, where gravity can be much stronger", adds Časlav Brukner. The results of Pikovski and his co-workers reveal how larger particles lose their quantum behavior due to their own ...

Extreme Conditions “Even though quantum systems are very sensitive to external influences, remarkable progress in experimental techniques enables us to conduct challenging experiments also outside of the laboratory, and these experiments are even robust enough to withstand the extreme conditions during a parabolic flight", says Julius Bittermann of the Institute for Quantum ...

    Europe's constant unrest

    Juan Luis Vives from Flanders emphasized that marriage was not primarily for the production of offspring. For him, it is a "life partnership"; he praises the "inseparable companionship" between the partners. Vives also believed that girls and boys are equal in their intellectual abilities and advocated literary education for girls. The Italian Guarino da Verona, in turn, differed from his contemporaries in that he avoided literary polemics. He wrote in 1416 that he read ...

    FIRST QUANTUM SATELLITE SUCCESSFULLY LAUNCHED

    keys over previously unattainable distances. To this end, what are known as quantum keys are created between the satellite and the ground stations using photons. Any attempt at eavesdropping during key production would alter the condition of the photons and would thus immediately be noticed due to quantum entanglement. Quantum cryptography and quantum teleportation are two basic concepts of quantum communication. Hence, the researchers are hoping that their experiments will ...
