They can hold about 15 percent of his body weight in water, and keep most of it safe during a roughly 40 mph flight home that takes about a half hour.Mueller and MIT engineer Lorna J. Gibson zeroed in on the microstructure of the belly feathers using scanning electron microscopy, microcomputed tomography, light microscopy and 3D videography, observing them both dry and wet.
