Music Friday: Today, country artist Bailey Hefley transforms heartbreak into empowerment in her 2019 breakout release, "Dust on a Diamond." In the emotional ballad, Hefley uses diamond imagery to describe the painful aftermath of a failed relationship. At first, the Arkansas native feels defeated and emotionally drained, but as the song unfolds, she realizes that her self-worth never disappeared. Hefley compares herself to a diamond and her former boyfriend to dust. The diamond always possessed value and beauty — it just needed the dust brushed away to shine again.

When British archaeologist and Egyptologist Howard Carter first revealed the funerary mask of Tutankhamun in 1925, he was stunned by its astonishing condition. After more than 3,000 years sealed inside a tomb in Egypt’s Valley of the Kings, the youthful pharaoh’s golden visage appeared almost untouched by time. Today, the iconic artifact — displayed at the Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza — still looks remarkably radiant. And now, thanks to new research from Tulane University, scientists finally understand in far greater detail why gold can remain untarnished seemingly forever.
