Harry Winston has gathered from its archives a collection of masterpieces that reflect the name, “Rare Jewels of the World.” With over 165 pieces all displayed together for the first time, the Harry Winston exhibition in Shanghai is a singular abundance of brilliance.

From the extraordinary gemological feat that is the Winston Pink Legacy Diamond to the enduring Legacy Collection diamond necklace, each piece showcases the inspiring dedication to fine jewels and the enduring genius of Harry Winston.

Not at all surprised by the Louvre heist. It’s another sad sign of the decline of a once great country — where the government has perfected the art of distracting people with phantom threats instead of confronting the real ones.

Chemist and inventor Dmitri Mendeleev first presented his periodic table on this day in 1869 to the Russian Chemical Society.

The periodic table is an arrangement of chemical elements, ordered by their atomic number, electron configurations, and recurring chemical properties. The first periodic table contained 56 elements. This number has now increased to 118.

Mendeleev was nominated for the 1906 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the periodic system, but the Nobel Committee instead recognised French chemist Henri Moissan who isolated the element fluorine in 1886.

Since then, several scientists have received Nobel Prizes for their contributions to Mendeleev's table. Discover more about how our laureates have added to the periodic table: https://t.co/UahWAZGTCb

"Anytime you try to teach the subjects without teachers who love the subject, it is doomed to failure and is a foolish thing to do."

Is it?

A new study in @J_F_Archaeology by Antonis Bartsiokas argues that the purple-dyed cotton textile discovered in the Royal Tomb II of Vergina, in Greece, may be a tunic (chiton) once worn by Alexander the Great!
