Paleontologist Shines New Light On Old Bones – The CollegeToday
When College of Charleston paleontology professor Phil Manning takes the stage for his presentation at the 2016 TEDxCharleston program on Oct. 19, 2016, he will shed a very bright light on some of his recent research.
In this case, the light is brighter than 10 billion Suns.
Using a synchrotron, which is a type of particle accelerator, Manning and a team of scientists have been able to dramatically improve the imaging and analysis of fossils.
