No one expected these glittering bits among the gray lunar dust back then. The beads, smaller than grains of sand, formed when ancient lunar volcanoes spewed molten rock. That rock quickly cooled and ...

Glass beads spawned in violent impacts from space rocks on the lunar surface have been found to have water trapped inside, offering what scientists describe as a potential reservoir of this ...

Apollo astronauts discovered orange and black glass beads on the Moon's surface, a surprising find among the gray landscapes. The beads, measuring less than a millimeter (0.04 inches), were formed 3.

The moon was once a hive of volcanic activity. But while the vents have remained inactive and dormant for tens of millions of years or more, the satellite retains evidence of its once volatile past – ...

The evidence: three tiny glass beads plucked from the surface of the moon and brought to Earth in 2020 by a Chinese spacecraft. Their chemical makeup indicates that there were active lunar ...

An international study featuring scientists from Curtin University’s School of Earth and Planetary Sciences and Space Science and Technology Centre offers new insights into the Moon’s history ...

Researchers have developed glass fertilizer beads that slowly release nutrients, reducing runoff, emissions and environmental harm. The beads, tested on grass and lettuce, sustained plant growth ...

Researchers turned to glass beads to produce an environmentally compatible, sustained-release fertilizer.

As the cost of imported seed beads climbs, Indigenous beadworkers in Montana say the tradition — and the livelihood — won’t ...

They focused their analysis on lunar glass beads — small spherical or egg-shaped glass pieces formed by volcanic activity or impact events like when rocks from space smash the moon’s surface.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Volcanoes were still erupting on the moon when dinosaurs roamed Earth, new research suggests. The evidence: three tiny glass beads plucked from the surface of the moon and brought ...
