There is extensive geologic evidence of ancient volcanic activity on the Moon, but it is unclear how long that volcanism persisted. Magma fountains produce volcanic glasses, which have previously been found in samples of the Moon’s surface. Dr. Qiuli Li and colleagues from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences
Researchers at Stanford University have found that an aqueous solution of a common food color approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, tartrazine, has the effect of reversibly making the skin, muscle, and connective tissues transparent in live rodents. Illustration of skin tissues rendered transparent following saturation by FD & C Yellow 5, including

The newly-discovered dinosaur roamed our planet during the Albian age of the Early Cretaceous epoch, between 113 and 100 million years ago. Dubbed Sasayamagnomus saegusai
It’s 7 billion years ago, and the Universe’s heyday of star formation is beginning to slow. What might our Milky Way Galaxy have looked like at that time? Astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have found clues in the form of a cosmic question mark, the result of a rare alignment across light-years
In a paper published in the journal Nature Geoscience, scientists offer a new explanation for a string of severe environmental crises, called oceanic anoxic events, which happened between 185 and 85 million years ago (Mesozoic era); these occurred when the seas became critically depleted of dissolved oxygen. Oceanic anoxic events are geologically abrupt phases of
Paleontologists have unearthed the skeletal remains from a previously unknown species of lithostrotian titanosaur at the fossil site of Lo Hueco, Cuenca, Spain.
