River drought forcing of the Harappan metamorphosis - Communications Earth & Environment
Hydroclimatic variations significantly influenced the Indus Valley Civilization's rise and fall, with warmer, drier conditions during pre-Harappan to late-Harappan periods leading to human migration and settlement, according to analysis of paleoclimate and palaeohydrological simulations.

A paper in Nature presents measurements of the properties of exotic particles called all-charm tetraquarks, reported by the CMS Collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The results can be used to test theories about the forces that hold protons and neutrons together. ⚛️ 🧪
Determination of the spin and parity of all-charm tetraquarks - Nature
The CMS Collaboration reports the measurement of the spin, parity, and charge conjugation properties of all-charm tetraquarks, exotic fleeting particles formed in proton–proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider.
