The 2018 archaeological expedition at the multi-period site of Prastio-Mesorotsos in the Pafos district by the University of Edinburgh has been completed. Excavations were conducted from 27 June to 8 August 2018 under the direction of Dr. Andrew McCarthy, Fellow of the School of History, Classics and Archaeology at the University of Edinburgh. The project involves the cooperation of an international team of specialists and field school students. Continue reading “New finds at the Prastio-Mesorotsos site”
Infants can distinguish between leaders and bullies, study finds
A new study finds that 21-month-old infants can distinguish between respect-based power asserted by a leader and fear-based power wielded by a bully. Continue reading “Infants can distinguish between leaders and bullies, study finds”
Scientists pioneer a new way to turn sunlight into fuel
The quest to find new ways to harness solar power has taken a step forward after researchers successfully split water into hydrogen and oxygen by altering the photosynthetic machinery in plants. Continue reading “Scientists pioneer a new way to turn sunlight into fuel”
Terahertz spectroscopy enters the single-molecule regime
The interaction of light with matter is the basis of spectroscopy, a set of techniques lying at the heart of physics and chemistry. From infrared light to X-rays, a broad sweep of wavelengths is used to stimulate vibrations, electron transitions, and other processes, thus probing the world of atoms and molecules. Continue reading “Terahertz spectroscopy enters the single-molecule regime”
Superradiance: Quantum effect detected in tiny diamonds
The effect has been predicted theoretically decades ago — but it is very hard to provide experimental evidence for it: “Superradiance” is the phenomenon of one atom giving off energy in the form of light and causing a large number of other atoms in its immediate vicinity to emit energy as well at the same time. This creates a short, intense flash of light. Continue reading “Superradiance: Quantum effect detected in tiny diamonds”
Ιησούς Χριστός, «προσδοκία Εθνών» (μέρος πρώτον – Κίνα)
Πρεσβυτέρας Βαρβάρας Μεταλληνού
Ή γέννηση του Θεανθρώπου Ιησού Χρίστου είναι ή πιό εύγλωττη απόδειξη της θεϊκής αγάπης πρός τον ’Άνθρωπο. Ή άγάπη αυτή του Θεού δέν συνοδεύει τόν άνθρωπο μόνο στην παραδεισιακή του κατάσταση, αλλά καί μετά τήν πτώση καί απομάκρυνσή του από τήν πηγή τής ζωής, τόν Θεό , Πατέρα καί Δημιουργό.
