,
July 2015 in “Biogeosciences” This study found that the growth of hair ice on dead wood requires the biological activity of a winter-active fungus, specifically Exidiopsis effusa, which shapes and stabilizes the ice structures.
16 citations
,
April 2017 in “ACM Transactions on Graphics” Light scatters differently from elliptical hair fibers than from circular ones, and a new model better predicts this behavior, especially for shiny highlights.
14 citations
,
March 2020 in “Scientific Reports” This study found that dual-frequency ultrasound with microbubble cavitation significantly enhanced minoxidil delivery and hair growth in both lab and animal models compared to single-frequency ultrasound, without damaging the skin in mice.
