Edwardsville Art Fair begins Sept. 26 at City Park. At the three-day juried event will feature more than 100 professional local, regional, and national artists and emerging artists and student groups.

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 3.3 ...

Astronauts have discovered tiny glass beads, called “Moon beads,” in lunar soil brought back by the Apollo 17 mission. These beads are valuable to scientists to learn more about the Moon’s past.

Tiny glass beads brought back by NASA's Apollo 17 astronauts are helping scientists uncover new clues about how the moon erupted billions of years ago. No one expected these glittering bits among ...

However, while Liquid Glass has advocates among early adopters, it has also attracted some harsh critics, who say the new design language creates confusing clashes between layers that affect ...

A tiny glass bead retrieved by China's Chang'e-5 lunar mission is offering scientists a glimpse into the moon's hidden depths and providing insight into the violent forces that helped shape the ...

Top of the list is his bead fabric, made from the small glass grains more often used for grinding pigments in the cosmetics industry. The material looks perfect, but the standard industrial tape used ...

They found that each nutrient released from both sizes of glass particles and diffused into the solutions steadily over 100 hours with minor fluctuations. They then applied a nutrient solution or ...

They ground the glass into small (less than 0.85 millimeters wide) and large (0.85 to 2 millimeters wide) particles. In an initial test, the particles were added to either water or a buffer ...

Magnetic hydrogel microbeads have wide applications in the fields of biological engineering and regenerative medicine. In the paper, we proposed a new method for fabricating the magnetic hydrogel ...
