Non-destructive comparative evaluation of fossil amber using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy.
Fossilized plant resins, or ambers, offer a unique paleontological window into the history of life. A natural polymer, amber can preserve aspects of ancient environments, including whole organisms, for tens or even hundreds of millions of years. While most amber research involves imaging with visual...
