En los años setenta, el pequeño núcleo de Stein, en la Baja Austria, estuvo a punto de convertirse en el emplazamiento de la segunda central nuclear del país.

Britain's new Prime Minister Andy Burnham met with his Spanish counterpart Pedro Sánchez this week, two of the only centre-left leaders remaining in Europe. What's in store for British nationals in Spain, the re-join campaign and UK-Spain relations?
In the 1970s, the small settlement of Stein, in Lower Austria, came close to becoming the site of the country’s second nuclear power plant. The project was scrapped, and the land went back to being another stretch of farmland beside the Danube. Half a century later, those same fields have revealed what they’d been hiding […]

Since excavations began in 1995, diggers have pulled more than 900 individual fragments of human bone out of the earthen fill packed into and around its monumental stone buildings — skull […]
Finding fossils usually means months of fieldwork, a hammer, and a lot of patience. In Finnmark, Norway’s northernmost region, it took none of that. According to the University of Cambridge, a cluster of rocks had broken loose from a cliff above a sheep field. When they split open on landing, they exposed a fossil of […]
Buscar fósiles suele significar meses de trabajo de campo, martillo y paciencia. En Finnmark, la región más septentrional de Noruega, esta vez no hizo falta tanto.
