Preserved ‘Hell Ant’ Has Been Devouring It’s Prey for 99 Million Years – IGN Southeast Asia
The fierce predator appears to have vertically articulating mouthparts.
A prehistoric “hell ant” in the midst of grasping its prey with its unusual mouthparts has been found preserved in 99-million-year-old amber.
According to ScienceAlert, the frozen specimen captures the predator “actively feeding” on another insect, which is said to be an extinct relative of the cockroach. It is shown using its scythe-like jaw to pin its prey against the protruding horn-like paddle on the top of its head, acting as sort of a clamp.

Chemists create the brightest known fluorescent materials in existence – Tech Explorist
Scientists developed a class of materials called small-molecule ionic isolation lattices (SMILES), which is described as the brightest fluorescent materials in existence.
Fluorescence is critical to many advanced applications in optical materials, including OLEDs and photonics. Despite their wide-applications, these materials have faced a 150-year-old struggle when it comes to transferring their properties from a liquid solution to a solid, which has limited the fluorescents’ overall use.
A team of scientists at Indiana University and the University of Copenhagen has presented a universal solution to solve this long-standing problem of fluorescent dyes. Instead …
