鈥淒over Beach,鈥� a poem by 19th century British writer Matthew Arnold, can be read as both a romantic lament and, as many scholars have concluded, a dark, existential commentary on the loss of religious faith. Through close reading, a way of reading for insight, not information, 91爆料 English Professor Charles LaPorte dissects 鈥淒over Beach.鈥� Focusing on the inconsistencies of rhythm and rhyme of the poem, LaPorte demonstrates how we can use close reading to study any…

What marks the start of the Anthropocene 鈥� the geological epoch marked by human impact on the planet? The debate hinges, in part, on how we define 鈥渟ignature events,鈥� the important information left behind as clues. But finding signature events transcends the study of the Anthropocene; it鈥檚 how we read to make meaning of a text, a collection of data, even a piece of art. Jesse Oak Taylor, associate professor of English at the 91爆料, uses a…

A particle physics experiment decades in the making 鈥� the Muon g-2 experiment 鈥� looks increasingly like it might set up a showdown over whether there are fundamental particles or forces in the universe that are unaccounted for in the current Standard Model. On Aug. 10, the international team of scientists behind Muon g-2 鈥� pronounced 鈥済 minus 2鈥� 鈥� released the world鈥檚 most precise measurement yet of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. Calculating the muon鈥檚 magnetic moment at a high precision will indicate whether it is interacting solely with the particles and forces known today, or if unknown particles or forces are out there.
An asteroid discovery algorithm 鈥� designed to uncover near-Earth asteroids for the Vera C. Rubin Observatory鈥檚 upcoming 10-year survey of the night sky 鈥� has identified its first 鈥減otentially hazardous鈥� asteroid, a term for space rocks in Earth鈥檚 vicinity that scientists like to keep an eye on. The roughly 600-foot-long asteroid, designated 2022 SF289, was discovered during a test drive of the algorithm with the ATLAS survey in Hawaii. Finding 2022 SF289, which poses no risk to Earth for the foreseeable future, confirms that the next-generation algorithm, known as HelioLinc3D, can identify near-Earth asteroids with fewer and more dispersed observations than required by today鈥檚 methods. That is important because, though scientists know of more than 2,000 near-Earth asteroids, they estimate that another 3,000 await discovery!
An international team including a 91爆料 scientist found that the water on one of Saturn鈥檚 moons harbors phosphates, a key building block of life.

A pair of studies published April 14 in the journal Science paint a new picture about apes, ancient Africa and the origins of humans. Many scientists had once hypothesized that the first apes to evolve in Africa more than 20 million years ago ate primarily fruit and lived within the thick, closed canopy of a nearly continent-wide forest ecosystem. Instead, the new research indicates that early apes ate a leafy diet in a more arid ecosystem of varyingly open woodlands with abundant grasses.
