Is there a name for a picture made combining real fossils like this? A fossil collage or fossil wall don’t seem to do this art form justice. Visit the Natural History Museum in Oslo to see this wonderful piece of geological art.

After years in limbo, NASA’s groundbreaking Mars Sample Return (MSR) programme, which was supposed to ferry Martian material collected by the Perseverance rover to Earth, looks set to be cancelled.

NASA won’t bring Mars samples back to Earth: this is the science that will be lost
A Congressional bill restores funding for most NASA space science missions, but there is no money for returning samples already collected on the red planet.

AI models were given four weeks of therapy: the results shocked researchers
Nature - Chatbots put through psychotherapy report trauma and abuse. Authors say models are doing more than role play, but researchers are sceptical.
