Cada una de estas tablillas cabe en la palma de una mano (la más pequeña mide poco más de tres centímetros y la mayor, 11,5) y casi todas hablan de lo menos glamuroso que puede guardar un museo: cuentas de cebada, jornales, medidas de zanjas. Leídas en conjunto, sin embargo, ayudan a rellenar un hueco […]

Hay una pregunta incómoda que acompaña a los físicos desde hace décadas: si el universo está hecho de campos invisibles, ¿por qué cada uno se ha quedado en el estado en que lo encontramos y no en otro? Un equipo de la Universidad de Portsmouth, con colaboradores de la Universidad de Syracuse y de la […]

Hace unos cinco mil años, cuando la escritura daba sus primeros pasos y Egipto acababa de unificarse bajo un solo rey, los primeros faraones eligieron un rincón del desierto de Abidos, en el Alto Egipto, para su descanso eterno. El lugar se conoce como Umm el-Qaab, que en árabe viene a ser «la madre de […]

Un buey, un carnero y un cerdo, rodeados de guirnaldas, festones y cráneos de buey esculpidos, comparten una misma piedra que acabó sirviendo de pavimento en uno de los cruces principales de la antigua Aquinum. Es una de las dos piezas que los arqueólogos de la Universidad del Salento han sacado a la luz en […]

Each of these tablets fits in the palm of a hand. The smallest measures a little over 3 centimetres (1.3 inches) across and the largest 11.5 (4.5 inches), and nearly all of them deal with the least glamorous things a museum can hold: sacks of barley, daily wages, the size of ditches.

Following the Spanish parliament's rejection of emergency housing measures on Friday, hundreds of thousands of protesters across more than 50 Spanish cities called for a general strike to force authorities to act.

Physicists have been asking an awkward question for decades. If the universe is built from invisible fields, why has each one ended up in the state we find it in, and not in some other? A team at the University of Portsmouth, working with colleagues at Syracuse University and the École Normale Supérieure in Paris, […]

Spain's left-wing government wants to use the dissolution of parliament which occurs when a snap election is called to re-approve the housing crisis decrees that were rejected on Friday, thus offering temporary protections to millions of tenants.

It's not just New England in the US or Canada where going to see the fall foliage is popular in autumn. There are plenty of places in Spain, from national parks and ancient forests to even volcanoes, where leaf peeping is very rewarding.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez on Monday called a general election nine months before the end of his third mandate. Why has he done this, and why now?

Around 5,000 years ago, when writing was in its infancy and Egypt had just been united under a single king, the first pharaohs picked a patch of desert at Abydos, in Upper Egypt (the southern part of the country, upriver on the Nile), as their final resting place. The spot is called Umm el-Qaab, Arabic […]

An ox, a ram and a pig, surrounded by garlands, festoons and carved ox skulls, share a single block of stone. At some point in antiquity it ended up as paving at one of the main crossroads of Aquinum, a Roman city in central Italy. It is one of two finds that archaeologists from the […]

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez confirmed on Monday morning that his government will call an early general election for November 29th, amid nationwide discontent against the recent parliamentary rejection of key housing crisis measures.

Storms to continue on Monday in Spain, PM to potentially announce snap election and more news on Monday October 5th.
