Bald Eagle Officially Recognized as America’s National Bird



    The bald eagle, a powerful symbol of the United States, has received formal recognition as the national bird, conferred by President Joe Biden through legislation passed by Congress. The bald eagle is distinguished by its striking white head, yellow beak, and brown body, embodying the spirit of American strength.

Historical Significance

    The bald eagle has been associated with the United States since 1782. It was chosen for its majestic appearance and represents freedom and bravery. The eagle has appeared on the Great Seal of the United States since its design was finalized.

The Great Seal of the United States

    The Great Seal features the bald eagle prominently. It holds an olive branch and arrows, symbolizing peace and military readiness, respectively. The shield on its chest resembles the American flag, representing unity and patriotism. The motto “E Pluribus Unum,” meaning “Out of many, one,” further signifies the unity of the states.

    Recently, the bald eagle was officially designated as the national bird through new legislation. This act rectifies a historical oversight regarding the eagle’s status. The recognition puts stress on the importance of the bald eagle in American culture and identity.

Characteristics of the Bald Eagle

    The bald eagle is known for its impressive wingspan, which can reach up to 2.3 meters. Its keen eyesight allows it to spot prey from great distances. The bird primarily feeds on fish but is also known to scavenge.

    Once endangered, the bald eagle has made a remarkable recovery due to conservation efforts. Habitat protection and banning harmful pesticides have contributed to its resurgence. The species is now listed as least concern by conservation organizations.

Tuning forks in space: a final pure "tone" may reveal interior of neutron stars

Tuning forks in space: a final pure "tone" may reveal interior of neutron stars      FRANKFURT. Neutron stars , with a mass greater than that of the entire solar system confined within a nearly perfect sphere just a dozen kilometers in diameter, are among the most fascinating astrophysical objects known to humankind. Yet, the extreme conditions in their interiors make their composition and structure highly uncertain. The collision of two neutron stars, such as the one observed in 2017, provides a unique opportunity to uncover these mysteries . As binary neutron stars inspiral for millions of years, they emit gravitational waves, but the most intense emission occurs at and just milliseconds after the moment of merging. The post-merger remnant – a massive, rapidly rotating object formed by the collision – emits gravitational waves in a strong but narrow frequency range. This signal holds crucial information about the so-called " equation of state " of nuclear matter,...

Study results open door to heart failure treatment with 'heart patch’

Study results open door to heart failure treatment with 'heart patch’           The BioVAT-HF-DZHK20 clinical trial is currently investigating a unique approach to address the unmet medical need in patients with advanced heart failure. Implantation of a tissue engineered heart patch, called engineered heart muscle (EHM), is developed to repair the failing heart. The EHM patch is a lab-grown heart muscle made up of induced pluripotent stem cell-derived heart cells embedded in a collagen hydrogel . The foundation for the translation into clinical testing was established by simulation of the clinical treatment in rhesus macaques. The EHM patch is currently the only technology that allows safe and efficacious delivery with long-term retention of cardiomyocytes in the heart.      An interdisciplinary team led by Professor Wolfram-Hubertus Zimmermann, director of the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology at the University Medical Center (UM...

Fraunhofer HHI experts underscore the value of XAI in Geosciences

Fraunhofer HHI experts underscore the value of XAI in Geosciences      AI offers unparalleled opportunities for analyzing data and solving complex and nonlinear problems in geoscience . However, as the complexity of an AI model increases, its interpretability may decrease. In safety-critical situations, such as disasters, the lack of understanding of how a model works — and the resulting lack of trust in its results — can hinder its implementation.      XAI methods address this challenge by providing insights into AI systems, identifying data- or model-related issues. For instance, XAI can detect ‘false’ correlations in training data — correlations irrelevant to the AI system’s specific task that may distort results.      “Trust is crucial to the adoption of AI. XAI acts as a magnifying lens, enabling researchers, policymakers , and security specialists to analyze data through the ‘eyes’ of the model so that dominant prediction strategies ...
