Pele's hair, with a hand lens as scale Strands of Pele's hair under microscope view. Pele's hair (closest modern Hawaiian translation: "lauoho o Pele " [1]) is a volcanic glass formation produced from cooled lava stretched into thin strands, usually from lava fountains, lava cascades, or vigorous lava flows.
Pele's tears are also found entangled within fine strands of volcanic glass known as Pele's hair and it was considered that they formed together under similar conditions. [1] Shimozura (1994) investigated this further and found that the velocity of the erupting lava was the main factor in determining whether Pele's tears or Pele's hair were formed.
Closeup picture of a Limu o Pele volcanic sheet glass fragment. Limu o Pele or Pele's seaweed (Hawaiian, literally "seaweed of Pele" after Pele the Hawaiian fire goddess of volcanoes) is a geological term for thin sheets and subsequently shattered flakes of brownish-green to near-colorless volcanic glass lava spatter, commonly resembling seaweed in appearance, that have been erupted from a ...

An evidence-based review published in 2016 looked at 21 studies of laser devices for hair growth and concluded that low-level laser therapy devices are safe and effective for both men and women ...
The genetically modified mouse in which a gene affecting hair growth has been knocked out (left) shown next to a normal lab mouse. A genetically modified mouse, genetically engineered mouse model (GEMM) [1] or transgenic mouse is a mouse (Mus musculus) that has had its genome altered through the use of genetic engineering techniques.
The hair was aligned properly with a 3D-printed biodegradable shaft. The hairs were permanent and regenerated naturally. [12] Stemson intends to enter clinical trials in 2026. [13] In October 2022, researchers from the Japan-based Yokohama National University successfully cloned fully-grown mouse hair follicles for the first time in history. [14]
