He is joined in conversation by Professor of Classical and Comparative Art at UCL, Jeremy Tanner, who asks the questions. How did you come to develop this research project? The Parthenon has always held a special allure for me, perhaps due to its central role as a reference point in the history of art and architecture. I've long been fascinated by spaces that no longer exist, and by the challenge of imagining how they might have felt. Given my background in 3D modelling and CGI, this project offered a unique opportunity to explore that question. Are the kinds of lighting effects we see in the Parthenon exceptional among Greek temples, or can we see your reconstruction as a kind of model for visual experience in Greek...

👔 US aid mission in Gaza more disastrous than acknowledged

A watchdog has reported dozens of injuries, millions in equipment losses and minimal results. The US military's humanitarian pier mission in Gaza last year resulted in far more injuries, damage, and operational failure than previously publicly acknowledged, an investigation has found. The mission, formally known as Operation Neptune Solace, was launched under the administration of former President Joe Biden in 2024 after the US failed to persuade Israel to expand overland access for humanitarian deliveries. The US military constructed a temporary offshore pier and floating causeway to transfer aid from ships to the Gaza shoreline without entering Israeli or Gazan ports. The Pentagon had since acknowledged that the mission encountered certain challenges, such as rough weather conditions, which caused damage to the pier but did not disclose the full scope of the problems. According to the Department of Defense Inspector General's report, which was published last week, the mission...

🌍 Zombie volcano in Bolivia shows signs of activity after 250,000 years of dormancy

New study reveals Bolivia's Uturuncu volcano remains active without the risk of eruption. The Uturuncu volcano in Bolivia's Andes Mountains, dormant for 250,000 years, is exhibiting warning signs of a potential eruption that could threaten lives and cause destruction. Uturuncu, the highest mountain in southwestern Bolivia, caused a region near its summit — about 150 kilometers (93 miles) wide — to rise and fall, creating a sombrero-like shape. Over 1,700 recent earthquakes have prompted scientists to study Uturuncu. By integrating satellite data, seismic analysis, and computer models of rock behaviour under pressure, researchers have gained a clearer understanding of the internal workings of Uturuncu, uncovering the cause of its unusual activity. Their findings were published on April 28 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

🚨 Severe hailstorms in the province of Valencia, Spain leaves streets covered in icy layer

The forecasts have come true, and a "cyclonic storm" is causing significant hailstorms in the interior of the province of Valencia, where it has even covered the streets of some towns in white. The hail has caused damage in several towns, such as L'Olleria, Casinos, and Villar del Arzobispo. Furthermore, rain gauges exceed 61 liters per square meter in the Castellón town of Rossell, according to Avament records. The southern interior was on orange alert for storms that could include hail, and the forecast proved correct. This was the case in parts of the Vall d'Albaida, such as l'Olleria, where hail quickly turned the streets into a blanket of white. "It was as if it had snowed," explains Mayor Ramón Vidal. The storm began around 4:15 p.m., although the wind had already given an hour's warning of what was to come, with gusts of up to 70 kilometers per hour. By 4:00 p.m., the winds had reached over 30 liters per square meter, all within about 15 minutes.
