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.

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 ...

Many glass and ceramic trinkets made in the late 19th and early 20th centuries contained uranium to give it a subtle green look. Under a UV light the subtleness makes way for a bright green glow.

GILGER: Yeah. So tell us about the work that you make with this uranium glass. You use beads, right? MANYGOATS: Yes, I use uranium glass beads and I also pair it with traditional Navajo medicine. So, ...
