Feathers give birds their dazzling colors. They repel water, trap heat, and even muffle sound—letting owls hunt in near silence.
How? It all comes down to structure.
In Birds Up Close, @MIT materials engineer and lifelong birder Lorna J. Gibson takes a microscopic look at feathers, bones, bills, eggs, and flight to reveal how birds do what they do—from hovering in place to flying hundreds of miles without tiring.
Published by @mitpress and out now, the book is written for anyone curious about birds—no engineering background required. (Though there’s plenty to dig into if you want it.)
“I wasn’t writing it for engineers; I was writing it for birders—people who are curious about natural history.”
The third image here shows a feather under a scanning electron microscope, revealing the intricate structures that give feathers their remarkable properties.

🦜 What makes bird feathers certain colors?
It's not just for looks. The colors depend on the structure of feathers at the microscopic level, which can lead to amazing blues and iridescent effects.
Lorna J. Gibson, professor emerita of @mitmeche and @mitdsme, shares more about the structural details that determine feather colors in the first Open Seminar on MIT Learn.

In this demo of work by the Wallin Group at @MIT (Nature Communications), a soft rubber-like material called a PIG gel is exposed to light.
The illuminated regions switch from insulating to conductive, and as the light moves, new electrical pathways form—causing LEDs to light up one by one.
A striking example of how light can “write” circuits into soft materials.
@ucirvine’s Joe Patterson led an MSE Seminar on April 21, discussing how peptide-based supramolecular materials use energy to build and rearrange themselves, maintaining constantly changing “out of equilibrium” states.

Alumnus Tom Davis ’84 SM ’85 recalls a “soul-crushing” first exam at @MIT—scoring 49 out of 100 in 3.091 (Introduction to Solid-State Chemistry)—and how an unexpected comment from a TA pushed him to improve.
“He had a big smile on his face, and he said something to the effect of, ‘I expect to see you double your score on the next quiz!’” Davis recalls. “At this remove, I’m comfortable saying he was not mocking me. He was encouraging.”

Another strong year for materials at @MIT.
U.S. News and World Report has again ranked MIT’s graduate engineering program first in the nation, with materials engineering among six top-placed disciplines. The Institute has held the No. 1 spot since 1990, when the magazine first ranked such programs.
QS World University Rankings has also placed MIT in the No. 1 spot in 12 subject areas for 2026, including materials science. MIT has been ranked as the world's top university by QS for 14 straight years.

View Instagram Stories in Secret
The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
