Un terremoto di magnitudo 4.7, il più forte in oltre 40 anni, ha colpito i Campi Flegrei il 31 luglio. Nonostante l'intensità, i sismologi dell'INGV confermano che i parametri chiave come sollevamento del suolo, flusso di CO2 e profondità del magma rimangono costanti, indicando la prosecuzione della crisi bradisismica in atto dal 2005.
Una scossa di terremoto di magnitudo 3.6 ha colpito i Campi Flegrei nella notte, avvertita a Pozzuoli, Bacoli e nei quartieri occidentali di Napoli. Non sono stati segnalati danni o disagi alla popolazione, ma sono in corso verifiche sugli edifici scolastici e sui costoni marini.
Researchers used AI to virtually unwrap and read 20 columns of text from a 2,000-year-old Herculaneum scroll, PHerc 1667, burnt by Mount Vesuvius. The text discusses Stoic philosophy, possibly by Chrysippus, and is one of the oldest in the collection, offering new insights into ancient thought.
L'anno si chiude con un bilancio di importanti fatti di cronaca italiana: dalla riapertura del caso Poggi a 18 anni dal delitto, alle manifestazioni pro-Palestina, fino all'assalto alla redazione de La Stampa.
Archaeologists at Pompeii have used AI for the first time to digitally reconstruct the face of a man killed during the AD 79 eruption of Mount Vesuvius. The remains were discovered near the Porta Stabia necropolis as he attempted to flee toward the coast, holding a terracotta mortar over his head as a shield against falling volcanic debris. The project, developed with the University of Padua, also found he was carrying an oil lamp, an iron ring, and 10 bronze coins. The AI-generated illustration shows the man running along a debris-covered road with Vesuvius erupting in the background.
Archaeologists have used AI for the first time to digitally reconstruct the face of a man killed during the 79 AD eruption of Mount Vesuvius at Pompeii. The reconstruction depicts him running with a terracotta mortar held over his head as protection from falling volcanic debris.

Archaeologists at Pompeii have used AI for the first time to digitally reconstruct the face of a victim of the AD 79 eruption of Mount Vesuvius. The reconstruction, developed by the Pompeii Archaeological Park with the University of Padua, is based on data from excavations near the Porta Stabia necropolis. The victim was found holding a terracotta mortar, interpreted as an improvised attempt to shield his head from falling lapilli.
Yellowstone is the world’s largest active volcanic system – its eruptions are hundreds of times more powerful than Vesuvius’ blast and its ash could blanket half the US. Yet, for decades, scientists could not agree on what drove its underground magma system. A new finding detailed by Chinese researchers could settle the dispute. They declared that Yellowstone’s magma channels were not blasted open by magma forcing its way upwards. Instead, tectonic forces tore the lithosphere apart first and...
