A new analysis of a fossil found in 1889 has unveiled the presence of zeolites—and an entirely new mineralization method.

Jurassic World has brought back one of its most ferocious dinosaurs for the latest season of a Netflix animated, except now ...

Scientists have successfully genetically modified chickens to make their feathers resemble those of dinosaurs. This study is part of a broader effort to understand how and why feathers evolved.

Those who thought feathered dinosaurs couldn’t be scary have probably never considered their modern avian relatives, like cassowaries, owls, or the bizarre shoebill. Jurassic World Dominion’s ...

GENEVA — From dinosaur fuzz to eagle wings, evolution spent over 100 million years perfecting the feather. Now, Swiss scientists have found a way to reverse this process in the lab, causing chicken ...

Feathers may have started as simple filaments in ancient dinosaurs, but a team of Swiss researchers is digging deep into the genetics of feather formation by experimenting on chicken embryos. By ...

scientists have managed to make chicken feathers more similar to the tubular proto-feathers that probably first appeared in the ancestors of dinosaurs in the early Triassic period 250 million years ...

Paleontologists continue to discuss the possibility of their even earlier presence in the common ancestor of dinosaurs and pterosaurs (the first flying vertebrates with membranous wings) around 240 ...

What do you get when you combine chicken embryos, a gene named after a video game character, and a couple of scientists? A brand-new study that’s confirmed a key element in feather evolution ...

Instead, they evolved step by step from much simpler structures called proto-feathers, which first appeared in some dinosaurs about 200 million years ago. Proto-feathers were tiny, tube-shaped ...

Researchers inhibited a gene during embryonic development in chickens to see if it would make their feathers look like those of dinosaurs. Here, we see feather buds on the 12th day of incubation.
