Birds have captured every corner of our planet. Long before modern birds appeared, some dinosaurs started to show feathers rather than scales. With the help of powerful X-rays, we are trying to disentangle the chemical remains in some of the most iconic dino-bird fossils, including the famous Archaeopteryx, and what we can learn about the life of these amazing creatures.
Uwe Bergmann is a Professor in the Physics Department of UW-Madison. He specializes on the development and application of novel X-ray techniques based on the most powerful x-ray sources. He has studies ancient manuscripts including the Archimedes Palimpsest, fossils, water, and how plants split water to produce the oxygen we breath.
