Scientists find evidence of vivid iridescent colors in 40 mln-yr-old feather fossil

Washington, August 26 (ANI): A team of paleontologists and ornithologists led by Yale University has discovered evidence of vivid iridescent colors in feather fossils more than 40 million years old.

The finding signifies the first evidence of a preserved color-producing nanostructure in a fossilized [...]

Ice-free summers in ancient Arctic may help predict future trends

Washington, July 10 (ANI): In a new research, scientists have obtained evidence for ice-free summers with intermittent winter sea ice in the Arctic Ocean during the Late Cretaceous period, which should help predict how the Arctic is likely to respond to future global warming.

The Late Cretaceous, the period between 100 and 65 million years ago [...]

Bird feathers produce color through structure similar to beer foam

Washington, April 4 (ANI): A new research by scientists at Yale University, US, has discovered that the bright colors seen in bird feathers are created by tiny nanostructures with a structure similar to beer foam or a sponge.

Most colors in nature are produced by pigments. But, the bright blue feathers found in many birds, such [...]
