The temperature record for the month of May was broken in Istanbul on May 28 with 35.4 degrees Celsius.

American theoretical physicist and Nobel laureate Kip Thorne, known for his significant contributions in gravitational physics and astrophysics, is coming to Athens to deliver a lecture at the Eugenides Foundation.

Even if one buys the excuse about the supposedly tough weather conditions and accepts the argument that the disaster was a result of extensive illegal construction in the area, there is no excuse for the response to the deadly blazes in eastern Attica last summer.

A low magnitude earthquake of 2.6 at the Richter scale was registered at 16.08 hours, according to the National Institute of Geophysics, Geodesy and Geography at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences.

The trench was 16.6 km deep.

Its epicenter was 22 km from Sofia, between the villages of Zheleznitsa and Plana.

A 4.2-magnitude earthquake that hit Lesvos on Monday night was felt around the island, Greek media reported.
According to the revised Athens Geodynamic Institute (AGI), the tremor's epicenter was located at the area of Lepetymnos in the northern part of the island, west of the villages Kapi and Kleio, at a depth of 17 kilometres.

This Sunday - March 31, at 3:00 am after midnight, we must move the arrows of our clocks one hour ahead.
 
So our country will go to summer time. It will remain in force until October 26, when we return the clocks clocks to the winter time.

On March 5, the audience of the next Ratio event will learn more about one of the most important physical discoveries in the last century - gravitational waves

MPs ratified an agreement between the Ministry of Education and Science and the European Organization for Nuclear Research, the BNR reported.

This act will ensure the full participation of Bulgarian scientists in research and technological developments, which are carried out in the CERN laboratory.

Most Greeks (64 percent) believe that there is not enough transparency in the handling of issues related to radiation safety by the country's authorities, the first national survey by the country's Atomic Energy Commission (EEAE) has found.

A moderate earthquake measuring 5.3 on the Richter scale shook the southeastern Aegean on Thursday afternoon, and especially the island of Rhodes.

The Geodynamic Institute put the 4.30 p.m. tremor's epicenter some 47 miles off the island's east coast.

There were no reports of injuries or damage.
