Let's learn some surprising things about hummingbird tongues.
First, as you can see, their tongues are forked & feathery, highly specialized for lapping up their liquid diet of nectar.
But it gets weirder up close!
✨ Microscopy Mystery Monday #13 – Answer! ✨
Tiny water droplets naturally form perfect spheres. If droplets look too perfectly round and evenly sized, you’re often looking at physics doing its thing.
Stay tuned for the next MMM! 🔬🕵️

S. gordonii is a pioneer colonizer of dental plaque. It’s
one of the first bacteria to settle on clean tooth enamel and
helps other microbes move in later. Basically, it throws the
house party 🦠🦷

This is the sort of comedy sloppy AI was made for!
POV: Your cells died again! 😅

✨ Microscopy Mystery Monday #11 – Answer! ✨
The tiny hairs on Frauenmantel leaves, together with a wrinkled micro-surface, trap air and make the leaf extremely water-repellent — that’s why droplets sit on top instead of soaking in!
Stay tuned for the next Microscopy Mystery Monday! 🔬🕵️

There goes my week's worth of work down the drain! ✌️😐🔫

What's the environmental impact of an entire human life?
In the latest Material Minds, Matthias Finkbeiner @tuberlin.bsky.social explores the first ‘LCA of a Human Being,’ lithium mining in Chile, and more. A fascinating look at sustainability beyond carbon.

🎄✨Microscopy Mystery Christmas Edition - Answer
Electrochemically grown silver dendrites
Just like ice crystals, these are crystals formed when silver solidifies very quickly from a solution, for example, during electrolysis
Watch out for the next Microscopy Mystery in the new year!

🦎 Gecko foot!!
Gecko feet stick using van der Waals forces — the same weak forces that let DUST cling to surfaces!

📄 Paper fibers!
Paper is made of tiny interlocking cellulose fibers — the same natural polymer that gives plants their strength. ✨

Added the finishing touches to my presentation for today's #F25MRS SB03 session at 13:45 (room H105)
The Engineered Living Materials talks in this symposium have been really inspiring and I'm most looking forward to the therapeutic living materials sessions today!

We are one step closer to realise living materials for ocular use! We investigated cytocompatibility of these devices during extended contact lens wear time. Check it out! 🧪

New Materials is what we do, so you can be sure to find us at the @materials-mrs.bsky.social Fall Meeting #F25MRS!
Find talks from Tobias, @wilfriedweber.bsky.social, and @shrikrishnans.bsky.social over the next few days - eppro01.ativ.me/web/planner....

All set for the engineered living materials session at the MRS fall meeting in Boston! #F25MRS
Thanks to @annaduraj.bsky.social for the invite 😁

Hot off the press! Our latest paper led by @fernpizza.bsky.social, understanding how plasmids evolve inside cells. These small, self-replicating DNA circles live inside bacteria and carry antibiotic resistance genes, but also compete with one another to replicate. 1/
