Hummingbirds draw nectar into their bills using long tongues that act like tiny pumps.It was long thought that liquid travels passively up the birds' tongues without suction. But Alejandro Rico-Guevara and his colleagues at the University of Connecticut in Storrs found a different mechanism

A porous, crystalline compound can speed up the conversion of carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide in water.Omar Yaghi and Christopher Chang at the University of California, Berkeley, and their colleagues used structures called covalent organic frameworks (COFs) — grid-like arrangements of carbon, nitrogen and

Some box jellyfish display elaborate mating behaviours and even use their toxic stinging cells to ensure successful fertilization.Many jellyfish reproduce using external fertilization, but in a few box jellyfish, fertilization can occur internally. In one species (Copula sivickisi; pictured), the male
