A recent study on the detailed micro-structure of human hair reveals new details about the structure of a single strand of human hair, including new models of the molecular arrangements in two different regions of a hair. The study, published in the November 30, 2015 issue of the journal Scientific Reports, describes a technique that opens new opportunities for researchers to use synchrotron x-ray techniques for the study of a range of biological samples.
