Researchers studying 77 children from Bronze Age cemeteries in Serbia found that burial positions often differed by biological sex, suggesting gender-linked funerary customs were observed during childhood about 4,000 years ago

In Bronze Age communities of present-day Serbia, boys and girls did not have the same burial treatments as adult men and women. Even children who died at a young age received different burial treatment, with rules that distinguished males from…

Astronomers combined 16.7 years of gamma-ray data with 4.9 years of FAST radio observations to confirm a 3.2-millisecond pulsar has two companions, including a Sun-like star on a 73.5-year orbit

The data confirmed the white-dwarf companion and detected gamma-ray emission associated with the pulsar. More significantly, they uncovered a second companion: a subgiant star with a mass roughly comparable to that of the Sun. Image Courtesy: AAS Nova/Kerry Hensley; background…
