MIT's Tech Square has played a significant role in the evolution of computing, hosting key figures and research from time-shared computing to the World Wide Web.
Researchers found living quarters of an ancient civilization, which disproved earlier theories that the site served solely as a ceremonial pilgrimage destination.
The article discusses recent excavations at Göbekli Tepe, an ancient Neolithic archaeological site in southeastern Anatolia. Key findings include the discovery of living quarters, which challenges the earlier theory that the site was solely a ceremonial pilgrimage destination. Göbekli Tepe, dating back to around 10,000 BCE, is known for its monumental T-shaped pillars and is considered one of the earliest known temples. The site's complexity and interconnectedness of societies suggest that religion and spirituality played significant roles in early human development. Recent discoveries at nearby sites like Karahantepe have revealed similar monumental structures, further enriching our understanding of prehistory.

In 1831, the Sun appeared blue due to a volcanic eruption from the Zavaritskii volcano in the Kuril Islands. This event caused global cooling, leading to failed crops and food shortages. Modern geochemical analysis of ice cores has identified the source, highlighting the potential climatic impacts of large volcanic eruptions.

This article details the implementation of electronic mail and text messaging on the Compatible Time-Sharing System (CTSS) from 1965 to 1973, providing historical context and development insights.
Tables once ruled web design, with nested tables causing both creativity and chaos. Replaced by CSS for layouts, they’re now a nostalgic tool still essential for data.
A detailed article about the Ampere WS-1 clamtop computer, released in November 1985. The article discusses the company's history, design, features, and software. It also includes excerpts from magazines such as ASCII, Just Computers, and Australian Personal Computer.
In November 1789, President George Washington and his entourage passed through South Natick, Massachusetts. This article discusses what Washington may have seen during his visit, focusing on the Morse-Dana-Leach House at 3 Eliot Street, a home that was likely occupied during Washington's visit.
Distributed computing shares computational tasks among multiple machines, making it possible to process large volumes of data and perform complex calculations by dividing the workload across networks. This approach has evolved from early local area networks to the internet and cloud computing, enabling efficient and secure data handling.
Archaeologists have discovered an ancient human settlement in Tajikistan that dates back approximately 150,000 years.
Archaeologists from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the National Academy of Sciences of Tajikistan have discovered a multi-layered archaeological site in the Zeravshan Valley of Tajikistan. The site, named Soii Havzak, contains artifacts dating back as far as 150,000 years, making it a significant find for understanding early human settlements and migrations in Central Asia.
The discovery suggests that the Zeravshan Valley, known historically as a Silk Road route, was an important migration corridor for human species like Homo sapiens, Neanderthals, and Denisovans.
