Photo: gregw66 , Flickr, CC Sure, everyone gets a kick out of online polls: They’re fun, simple, interactive. The votes get tallied up right before your eyes, a digital snapshot of community opinion.

Photo via Wikipedia The common guillemot is a seabird with a smart strategy for fishing. It can fly over the water with straight wings, but when it dives into the water to catch it’s prey, it swims with bent wings. The bend in the wing reduces drag, and it is this morphing wing that has inspired researchers to come up with a robot that can both fly and swim — something brand new in the biomimicry world. … Read the full story on TreeHugger
