Nailed It!

There go our heroes. Let's salute them for all of the amazing work they did this year.

32 People Who Absolutely Nailed It In 2013

This guy didn't realize he'd bought a child's tent before he left for the festival. You, sir, really nailed it.

good job, good effort!

WIN

This high school vice principal was forced to resign after he married his boyfriend. So students staged a massive sit-in to protest the decision.

OMG

Attention Christmas procrastinators: If you've got Amazon Prime, it's not too late to get one of these gifts.

LOL

Unless you're shopping for someone in their Thirties. In that case, consider this list instead.

WIN

There is a Barbie Dreamhouse in the U.K. It's impressive — but even more amazing to spend a night in.

FAIL

Pinterest, here's the thing: No matter what you tell us, nobody can actually bake like this.

LOL

Not everyone is great at spelling. Especially when it comes to celebs like Ellen The Generous or McJagger.

CUTE

Thank you, 2013. Thank you for all of this cute.

!!!

And here's a late entry for the Year of Cute: It's a tiny husky puppy learning to howl.

Why it snows so much in the frozen north

Posted: 20 Dec 2013 05:06 PM PST

Scientists have long puzzled over the seemingly ceaseless drizzle of snow drifting down from arctic clouds. Now they may have an explanation.

Researchers grow liquid crystal 'flowers' that can be used as lenses

Posted: 20 Dec 2013 12:45 PM PST

A team of material scientists, chemical engineers and physicists has made another advance in their effort to use liquid crystals as a medium for assembling structures. Their earlier studies produced patterns of "defects," useful disruptions in the repeating patterns found in liquid crystals, in nanoscale grids and rings. The new study adds a more complex pattern out of an even simpler template: a three-dimensional array shaped like a flower.

Starless cloud cores reveal why some stars are bigger than others

Posted: 20 Dec 2013 11:35 AM PST

Massive stars -- those at least 8 times the mass of our Sun -- present an intriguing mystery: how do they grow so large when the vast majority of stars in the Milky Way are considerably smaller? Massive stars -- those at least 8 times the mass of our Sun -- present an intriguing mystery: how do they grow so large when the vast majority of stars in the Milky Way are considerably smaller? To find the answer, astronomers used the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array telescope to survey the cores of some of the darkest, coldest, and densest clouds in our Galaxy to search for the telltale signs of star formation.

91 new species described by California Academy Of Sciences in 2013

Posted: 20 Dec 2013 09:10 AM PST

In 2013, researchers at the California Academy of Sciences discovered 91 new plant and animal species and two new genera, enriching our understanding of the complex web of life on Earth and strengthening our ability to make informed conservation decisions. The new species, previously unknown to science, include 38 different ants, 12 fishes, 14 plants, eight beetles, two spiders, one reptile, and one amphibian.

Birth of black hole kills the radio star

Posted: 20 Dec 2013 08:40 AM PST

Astronomers have discovered a new population of exploding stars that "switch off" their radio transmissions before collapsing into a Black Hole. These exploding stars use all of their energy to emit one last strong beam of highly energetic radiation -- known as a gamma-ray burst -- before they die.

Scientists discover how immune cells die during HIV infection; Identify potential drug to block AIDS

Posted: 19 Dec 2013 11:22 AM PST

Research has identified the chain of molecular events that drives the death of the immune system's CD4 T cells as an HIV infection leads to AIDS. Further, they have identified an existing anti-inflammatory drug that blocks the death of these cells -- and now are planning a Phase 2 clinical trial to determine if it can prevent HIV-infected people from developing AIDS.

New evidence that computers change the way we learn

Posted: 19 Dec 2013 10:07 AM PST

People who use computers regularly are constantly mapping the movements of their hand and computer mouse to the cursor on the screen. Now, researchers have shown that all that pointing and clicking (the average computer user performs an impressive 7,400 mouse clicks per week) changes the way the brain generalizes movements.

Early detection of blinding eye disease could be as easy as scanning barcode

Posted: 20 Dec 2013 09:08 AM PST

A new optical device puts the power to detect eye disease in the palm of a hand. The tool -- about the size of a hand-held video camera -- scans a patient's entire retina in seconds and could aid primary care physicians in the early detection of a host of retinal diseases including diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and macular degeneration.

Opposing phenomena possible key to high-efficiency electricity delivery

Posted: 19 Dec 2013 11:23 AM PST

Researchers report that the coexistence of two opposing phenomena might be the secret to understanding how materials known as high-temperature superconductors -- heralded as the future of powering our homes and communities -- actually work. Such insight could help spur the further development of high-efficiency electric-power delivery.

Advances in nanotechnology's fight against cancer

Posted: 19 Dec 2013 10:12 AM PST

Among the most promising advances in the fight against cancer has been the rise of nanomedicine, the application of tiny materials and devices to detect, diagnose and treat disease. Researchers provide one of the most comprehensive assessments to date of research on nanomedicine-based approaches to treating cancer, and offers insight into how researchers can best position nanomedicine-based cancer treatments for FDA approval.

Supercomputers help researchers identify key molecular switch that controls cell behavior

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 12:52 PM PST

If scientists can control cellular functions such as movement and development, they can cripple cells and pathogens that are causing disease in the body.
