Advanced techniques are allowing scientists to witness the process where plant cells generate cellulose fibers.

An analysis of a 30,000-year-old fossil vulture from Central Italy has revealed for the first time that volcanic rock can preserve microscopic details in feathers -- the first ever record of such a ...
