But there's much more information to be gleaned from growth rings than simply a tree's age. This information comes to us through the science of dendrochronology. Tree rings can reveal more than ...

Scientists were searching for traces of so-called Miyake events, which are series of violent and sudden increases in cosmic radiation, which are recorded in the tree rings. Read also: It was a ...

"In the case of pine trees in boreal regions, blue rings have the potential to weaken the tree, making it more susceptible to mechanical damage or disease," explained Dr. Pawel Matulewski of Adam ...

Using growth lines on bones (akin to tree rings) to determine age and telomere length as an indicator of biological aging, the study found no link between radiation exposure and age-related ...

Well, tree-ring dating, or dendrochronology, can be this precise, and even more so. Dendrochronologists showed that an ancient wooden road uncovered in southwestern England not only was built in ...
