Lead pollution from Native Americans attributed to crushing galena for glitter paint, adornments

Native American use of galena at Kincaid Mounds, a settlement occupied during the Mississippian period (1150 to 1450 CE), resulted in more than 1.5 metric tons of lead pollution deposited in a small lake near the Ohio River. New data from IUPUI researchers found the lead did not originate from this Southern Illinois settlement but instead was brought to the site from other Midwest sources.

Complex energies, quantum symmetries

New research from IUPUI and Washington University in St. Louis realizes one of the first parity-time (PT) symmetric quantum systems, allowing scientists to observe how that kind of symmetry — and the act of breaking of it — leads to previously unexplored phenomena. The work is published Oct. 7 in the journal Nature Physics, with associate professors at IUPUI and at Washington University, as the corresponding authors.
