Scientists have discovered that the hummingbird bill is surprisingly flexible. While drinking, a hummingbird rapidly opens and shuts different parts of its bill simultaneously, engaging in an intricate and highly coordinated dance with its tongue to draw up nectar at lightning speeds.
Astronomers have used Hubble to see closer than ever into an energetic monster black hole powering 3C 273, the first quasar ever discovered. The new image details a lot of weird things: filaments, lobes, and a mysterious L-shaped structure, all within 16,000 light-years of the black hole.
Irvine, Calif., Dec. 5, 2024 — Scientists at the University of California, Irvine have uncovered the atomic-scale mechanics that enhance superconductivity in an iron-based material, a finding published recently in Nature. Using advanced spectroscopy instruments housed in the UC Irvine Materials Research Institute, the researchers were able to image atom vibrations and thereby observe new phonons –quasiparticles that carry thermal energy –at the interface of an iron selenide (FeSe) ultrathin film layered on a strontium titanate (STO) substrate.
Johns Hopkins Medicine has been awarded more than $18 million from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to lead a multi-institutional effort to develop a novel extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and advanced life-support system device. ECMO devices assist patients by enabling heart and lung function when their organs are too damaged or weak to function normally.

Filip Stevic is a “happy, goofy kid” who loves trucks, dinosaurs and books, according to his parents, Sunny and Milos, who live in Nottingham, Maryland. But the family’s holiday season was nearly upended when a golf ball-sized tumor was discovered inside Filip’s head.
The new model, developed by researchers at the UNC School of Medicine, can produce more accurate and reliable analysis of brain structures, which is critical for early detection, medical diagnosis, and neurological research.
Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital identified skull deformation as a potential culprit for causing symptoms of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome.
A breakthrough technique for predicting extreme weather events in South Florida has emerged from researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. The innovation specifically addresses the challenges of forecasting extreme heat and heavy rainfall.
A team of researchers from the U. S. Department of Energy Ames National Laboratory developed a magnetocaloric heat pump that matches current vapor-compression heat pumps for weight, cost, and performance.
